So, I just checked out Good Boy! and it’s such a sweet little gem! If you’re into visual novels that combine a dash of romance with a whole lot of canine cuteness, this might be right up your alley. The game offers a refreshing take on romance by focusing on the budding relationship between you, Milo, and his adorable pup, Duke.

Story & World

In Good Boy!, you’re introduced to a shy but endearing young man named Milo and his vibrant dog, Duke. The story unfolds in a quaint suburban setting during late spring mornings, where you get to know Milo’s world and possibly help him open up. It’s all about friendship turning into something more, with Duke playing a central role in easing Milo’s nerves and making interactions more fun. The art style is bright and anime-inspired, perfectly matching the heartwarming narrative and making every interaction feel cozy and inviting.

Technical Implementation

One thing I love about Good Boy! is its accessibility. You can play it on various platforms like Browser, Windows, macOS, and Linux. Whether you prefer to play on your computer or through a browser, it’s super easy to dive into this world. The game also features a petting minigame that allows you to bond with Duke even more. Everything from the clean interface to the vibrant visuals works smoothly to keep you engaged.

The Developer

The brains behind Good Boy! is Olivia from LunaMakaio Games, who has also worked on popular titles like Adopt A Boyfriend and Leatherbound. Their previous games have been well-received for their engaging stories and unique themes. With a small but talented team of eight people including artists like VeryFatCat and voice actors such as Tyler Viator, they’ve managed to create a charming experience that stands out in the otome genre.

Content Warnings

Good Boy! is pretty light-hearted but does include some suggestive flirtation. It’s nothing too heavy, just enough to add some spice to the budding romance between you and Milo.

TLDR

Overall, Good Boy! is an adorable slice of life perfect for anyone looking for a sweet romance intertwined with some puppy love. Despite its limited ratings so far, it’s clear that players who’ve tried it have enjoyed the experience immensely. If you’re in the mood for something short yet heartfelt with lovable characters, give Good Boy! a try. You might just find yourself falling for both Milo and Duke!
