About This Demo

The Tailgate Demo contains the opening portion of Chapter 1 — between 20 minutes and an hour of gameplay depending on how much you sniff around (pun intended).

Hyde wakes up to an empty house. His Human — Derek, is gone. The hood feels wrong in a way you can't quite bork out. Step outside and start looking — using your nose, your instincts, and a few unexpected allies.

All core mechanics are available: sniff mode, stamina, dialogue choices, memories, free exploration with a pinch of doggo foolishness and naiveté.

Power-up snacks, outfits, permanent upgrades, abilities, and Chapters 2–7 are not included — those are coming in the full game in 2027.
