Overview
What if your dog was taken by aliens on its 25th birthday? That's the surreal premise of a Dogs Dream, a psychedelic psychological horror visual novel from developer PUMPKIM.
Released on November 6, 2026, this paid Steam title blends point-and-click exploration with a narrative where your choices truly matter. You play as Cloud, a good dog who must show countless dreams to an alien captor.
But these dreams are twisted, and only your sixth sense can lead you to the truth.
Highlights
- Psychedelic Horror: The game leans heavily into mind-bending visuals and unsettling dreamscapes, creating an atmosphere that's both beautiful and disturbing.
- Choices Matter: Your decisions influence the alien's mood and the story's direction. Make the alien angry, and it might suck the Earth like a candy—so choose wisely.
- Multi-player Support: Despite being a single-player narrative experience, the game includes multi-player features, allowing you to share the journey with friends via Family Sharing.
