About
This is an emotion-focused short narrative game with an average playtime of around 1 hour.
We believe that seeing and understanding our own emotions is a strength in itself. May this inner journey bring you moments of calm and resonance.
Anxiety Puppy is an interactive visual novel that tells the story of a young girl in a bustling city, who, while struggling with the pressures of life and work, unexpectedly embarks on a spiritual journey toward reconciling with her anxiety.
Her life trajectory seems no different from anyone else’s—studying, finding a job, working, with days that repeat endlessly.
However, only she knows that beneath every seemingly calm day, anxiety grows like an uncontrollable black line, suffocating her breath and tightening her nerves.
On one of her usual sleepless nights, her anxiety spirals out of control again, and she is pulled into a strange world. What is it? She doesn’t know, but maybe she can talk to it.
Game Features:
Fresh Hand-drawn Style – A beautiful, healing, original illustrated storybook art style.
Unique Game Theme – The game focuses on anxiety and aims to raise players’ awareness of this emotion.
Warm and Healing Story – The protagonist will undergo self-exploration through dialogue and interaction, ultimately finding reconciliation with herself.
Her story is not a lonely one.
She could be you, or me, or anyone struggling with anxiety.
But in reality, anxiety is not our enemy.
It is more like a well-meaning but awkward friend, and we just haven’t learned how to get along with it yet.
This time, let anxiety transform into a little puppy, guiding you on a healing journey of self-reconciliation.
We hope that the next time you feel anxious, you will no longer criticize your emotions or yourself.
Because anxiety is not a monster; it’s just a little puppy easily unsettled.

遊戲流程不長,全程只需使用滑鼠 遊玩體驗就像看兒童繪本一樣輕鬆 兒童繪本的外表,遊戲內卻每分每秒都在爆擊我的內心 "焦慮可能真的像隻小狗"
This is my very first game review. REALLY WHOLEHEARTEDLY RECOMMEND !! <3 I loved the game and even got emotional because the dialogue was so beautiful written and THE ART portrayed is so WHOLSESOME! I really enjoyed the game and it's really cozy too. As a VTuber it was my honour to stumble upon this lovely game and that I could show it to my community. As I already mentioned, I have to repeat myself about the dialogue: It really makes me reflect about my own life, and choices I choose in the past - for a more secure path; because it's the safest one. Reflection: The game really shows you that life is about embracing the unkwown and to allow yourself to choose a different path, a more unkwown one, a more exciting one and what you truly desire. ART: I love the soft pastel colours and it feels so warm and cozy. It also reminded me of my childhood where we used to use street chalk or crayons and drew on the street and paper. I thank the whole team for producing/ developing such a wholeheartedly, soft coloured, warm, cozy and yet reflecting game!
首先如果你有相关症状最好避开这游戏;其次故事过于平淡,结尾也没有任何升华,可以用白开水来形容;从玩了《失眠》过来的,哪怕简短,但真的有一种被点醒,被升华的感觉,所以作者、编剧、还需努力吧
ще з демо версії мала великі очікування від цієї гри, але в дечому таки вона провальна. банально тому, що дуже коротка.. я хотіла б, щоб вона була довшою, набагато так, щоб можна було більше зрозуміти героїню. так чи інакше, я люблю цю історію. мальовка мила та приємна. головна героїня нагадує мене, через що мені було її шкода🫠 ставлю 11/10, хоч і коротка
自年幼时起,具体的年月早已沉没在记忆的长河之中,可焦虑与不安,却早早地便与我如影随形。 作为家族中最年幼的孩子,我从小便被无数双眼睛殷切地注视着、期望着。在这样的目光里,我很早就学会了为不同的人戴上不同的面具,表演出他们最想看到的那一面。 面对家庭,我是幸运的。家中的资源天平无限的向我倾斜。父母在教育上为我倾注的金钱,多到我甚至不敢细想,也不敢去计算它的“重量”。我知道,我必须背负起他们的期待。即使当那种充满压力的“关心”就像游戏里许多父母对子女学业所做的那样——降临在我的身上也只能在心里默默告诉自己:“我没有资格反抗,他们已经为我付出太多了。”但我不怪他们,这只是他们爱的有些着急而已 “我害怕自己达不到他们的预期,更害怕自己会让他们的所有付出付诸东流。面对那些特别的人时,我也总是恐惧着他们有一天会离开。” 或许扯远了。 我害怕失去,害怕未来,害怕让别人失望……这些恐惧像藤蔓一样缠绕着我。我拼尽全力想要挣脱它们,像撕扯掉烧伤处早已粘连的绷带一般,近乎残忍地解构自己,一遍遍逼问内心:你究竟在怕什么?为什么会如此焦虑? 然而直到今天,当我落笔之时,我仍旧难以与自己真正和解。或许这条路,真的需要走得很长、很长。 但我也心怀感激——感激那些焦虑,它们曾在童年时,像一道荆棘的屏障,也许刺痛但它默默保护过那个弱小的我。谢谢你我的焦虑小狗。 题外话:也祝家里真正的“煤气罐”(宝贝狗子)健健康康快快乐乐
像玩耍一样,度过一个游戏或者一生。 手绘画风和立意都很不错的游戏,可惜的是故事撑不起这个框架。 就像一座华丽的宫殿里面只有空荡荡穿堂风,不到一个小时的故事只是细微描绘了一只焦糊味的小白狗。 然而、然而。 焦虑不是这么轻描淡写的东西呀。
