About This Game


TIME is running out. YOU are our final hope. Our last SPARK in this ever-growing darkness.

Dog Years is a narrative-driven adventure game where you play as 5P4RKY (also referred to as SPARKY) who is on a quest to find his missing master and the rest of his group. Lost and alone on an unknown planet far from home, he explores his surroundings looking for clues that could give him insight as to what could have happened. Apart from that, he is still primarily tasked with collecting data about the environment to identify whether it is habitable for his people.

Features:

A robot dog with a sense of purpose.

  • Equipped with many different tools that Sparky can use, he is capable of solving problems and finding solutions to even the most daunting tasks. Truly a reliable fellow!

Hello! Who are you?

  • On your travels, meet a vast array of characters that have their own problems and agendas. Help them, and they just might be willing to help you in return. Such a good boy!

Bark! Roll over! Pounce! BITE!

  • Traverse the environment with smooth movement controls and gameplay options. Jump, dash, and trot around the world with ease as an advanced canine that can do almost anything! Upon further improvements through upgrades, you will be able to defeat challenging foes or escape any dangers you might face.

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but you’re a dog!

  • Collect various data about the environment to further build up your knowledge about the world. And maybe discover the truth along the way.
