A short visual novel made with Ren'py that has 2 bad endings and 2... endings.

Somewhat based off of the Japanese folk story, "Tsuru no Ongaeshi," also known as "The Crane Wife."

In "Inu no Ongaeshi," you play a lonely freelance writer, if, with your lack of motivation, you can even call yourself that. One morning, you meet an injured dog in the forest- rather, a dog girl. A magical, evolving, speed-writing, food-conjuring, future seeing dog girl.

Good luck with that.

More of a story than it is a game, in how I approached writing it and how it plays. (Hence the term visual novel.) Unfortunately, I don't actually like the plot as a story; it feels a bit cliche. Forgive me. ;;;

Controls:

Click/Spacebar - Advance the text

Right click/Esc - Open the in-game menu

Scroll up - Rollback text (You can't rollback past important choices/scenes)

Click- Clicking things. :-]

This is my first Ludum Dare at the age of 14. I hope you enjoy the game.
