"Dog" is another nasty "banana" ripoff, for all intents and purposes this is the same as a low effort NFT/blockchain game, the only difference is instead of using a blockchain to hold the NFTs, the objects are Steam Inventory objects on the Steam Community Marketplace. There's no game here, the developer made this to try scam people through Steam inventory item sales, and of course selling items he's presumably farmed up himself. Did I mention this is a scam? Hopefully Valve will remove all of these "banana" clones soon. This has some really mediocre looking graphics that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarly visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. This is only superficially free. The real purpose for this game is for the developer to farm and exploit Steam Inventory items that drop through the game. They can then sell these items in bulk on the Steam Community Marketplace. This kind of Steam abuse, combined with a minimum-viable-product non-game, does no service to gamers whatsoever. This is pollution... it's harmful to everyone. It hurts genuine indie devs, who have to compete with this pollution to get visibility for their sincerely made games. It makes indie devs look bad. It makes it harder for gamers to find those genuinely made games. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.
