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.

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
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。
This game hurt. ;_;
谢谢,谢谢制作组做出这款游戏。 生活就是这样的,在经历了一场彻夜大梦过后,第二天不过又是往复的工作。 所有的焦虑其实都来自于“高主体性”——说白了就是太把自己当回事儿。 举个例子,在讲台上做自我介绍的时候,紧张是正常的。但其实班里几十个同学,不差你这一个,也不多你这一个。 面试、处理工作也是类似的道理。 这个世界的聚光灯是轮转的,总有打到你身上的一天,也总有从你身上移开的一天。 要权衡,要理性,更要客观。
Wow. Never in my life did I think I'd be playing a game about anxiety and relate so hard. The pressure of loved-ones only wanting the best for you is hard. Work, marry, family, work, kids. It keeps repeating. But, this..this game, shows us it's okay, to have anxiety, and that it's only there to protect us from the world around us. And to take time to enjoy the small things in life, not to dwell on the past, but to learn from it. What an outstanding game. 10/10 Recommend.
A very short, hour-long game with great art direction. The localization is not the best, but it's a nice, quick and gentle reminder to treat yourself and your inner kid a little better, with a bit more compassion amidst a busy day-to-day.
Beatiful game. Thanks for making it.
adorable yet emotional game, cried. 10/10
мне это точно было нужно, очень вдохновляет
