A scavenging game about a dog and her D.O.G. exploring a ruined world.

*The game is playable with a mouse only.*

You are Molly, a dog accompanied by her D.O.G. (Digging operational guide) who is exploring a ruined world to find everything that remains under its rubbles.

Your goal is to find relics hidden behind rocks, so you must select one of 3 tool to dig and hope to find it before it's too broken and the whole structure collapses.

After you've found them, you can check the artefact inside Molly and D.O.G.'s Records to learn more info about it.

This game was developed by :

Arlecchino (Narrative) / Ethan "Ather" Caroux (Lead Developper) / Nathan "Enurias" Erhart (Music) / Hugo "Pusta" Cattin (Narrative) / Marylin "Lalikopter" (Artist) / Harris "Lethalee" Braik (Narrative) / Mateo Duret (Developper) / Théophile "BaronTetral" Léty (Producer)

All of the aspects of the game were developed within 72 hours of Ludum Dare 58, from idea to final build.

All assets and musics in the game were made by the team.

A simple concept, yet quite interesting. Once, I found it instantly, which surprised me.

The art design is magical

Reminds me of Pokemon DPPT's underground, love it

Like the UI style! It would be a fun game for kids!

@temmyt good catch ! That was my main inspiration :)

The characters are very cute, and the colors are well-chosen. The gameplay is both relaxing and intriguing. Finding important items for dogs in an industrial setting, haha! Love this!

Really liked the character designs. Wanted to see more of them haha The music was also very nice and calming

@derek-glennon The team worked on a whole narrative, sadly didn't have time to implement most of it ! But I am slowly working on it for a future itch.io release in a week or two !

Nice graphics! Didn't really see the use case for the smaller tools though 🤔 I felt like the big one was the go to all the time

Really enjoyed the game, a simple and intuitive concept with nice looking designs. It's a bit sad that only one tool make all the game.

@knosvoxel @tomatoketchup Yeah I appreciate that feedback, I had to cut some corners to make time and the minigame is not balanced like I'd hoped. Thank you ! :)

I recorded myself playing the game, but before I drop the link, I'm going to just point out the biggest piece of feedback I have. I am playing on an ultrawide monitor, and that prevented me from completing the game, as the button to start the final level (I assume) was off-screen. There was no option to play in a windowed setting (to my knowledge) so ultrawide was what I was stuck with.

Outside of that, I absolutely loved the story. The interactions between the character and the D.O.G, like her renaming the river, or the cable car pylon. The art of the map level is beautiful!

Anyway, a recorded playthrough is worth like a billion words, or something, so enjoy the best feedback I can give!

The graphics and audio fit really well, and the character design looks adorable! I played on a 13” device, but unfortunately, the full screen wasn’t displayed properly.. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the overall atmosphere of the game :)

A very cute game with an interesting gameplay dynamic. It's easy to understand and use, but at the same time, the difficulty increases nicely with each level ! The soundtrack is cute without being intrusive, and I can't wait to see how the game evolves !
