About the Game
Game Overview:
This is an autobiographical casual game. Based on the experience of the founder of our studio and a bunch of other researchers, the story of a research dog, who has been long-term pushed and unequally treated, is presented in the game.In this game, players need to work on boss’s countless jobs in order to make enough money for daily supply. Pressure of being fired, starving or even being mentally destroyed is always a company of the research dog.
Of course, you will also experience some interesting or surprising moments, for examples, the colleague’s help (or troubles), nice gift from your neighbor(or traffic jam) and so on.
Game Features:
1. Art Style: In , 99% of the elements are shaped from black and white lines. Therefore the whole game world is filled with apathy and humor.
2. Characters: The hero of the game is a personified dog. And all the roles in the game are two most common pets in real life: cats and dogs.
3. Instruments: All the instruments in the game have their prototypes in the real world. And the way you operate them is well designed.
4. Soliloquize: As a vivid character, the research dog has its own opinion towards the society, but there is only one audience of all the thoughts, himself. Considering it is a story that telling himself, why not try to turn tragedy into comedy, turn sadness into fun as possible as we can.
5. Difficulty: The game play of is roughly 1.5 hours, lasting totally 11 days in the game. Every day is tougher than the previous. New gameplay or system will be introduced every several days.
Real life: We introduce some of the elements in real life in this small game: such as having meals, sleep, traffic jam, washing cloth, and so on. You will find that the things that trouble ourselves in real life will always be an company with the research dog.
Game Background:
Throughout the long journey of your academic career, you've had many uncommon experiences.When it's time to play as a child, you were studying; when it's time to date as a teenager, you were studying.
Because of the amount of scholarship offered, you chose a relatively ordinary university; because of your not-so-sophisticated ideals, you went all the way to a Ph.D.
To lighten your family's burden, you've worked as a TA, random paid-by-the-hour job, and cashier. You've done other people's assignment and attended some kid's parents' meeting for some pay.
You had a procrastinative Ph.D. mentor and two interesting colleagues. One of them broke your equipment; the other graduated with research data borrowed from you.
After these destructive events, you went back to your work station and stayed. Finally you got your results.
You produced a dissertation good enough for Science, and handed it to your mentor with absolute joy.
Your mentor kept your dissertation for nine months.
Under pressure, you kept working unrequitedly.
You waded through a breakup, loss of a family member, wedding of a childhood friend, and IPO of a friend's company.
Your cousin, six years younger than you, had a baby when you started your Ph.D. Now her kid is old enough to sell girl scout cookies, and you're still here, waiting for an elusive diploma.
Maybe your luck did an one-eighty, or maybe your mentor had a moral epiphany. He handed the dissertation back to you, untouched, and told you it's ready for publishing.
That magnificent summer, you finally managed to graduate.
At that fateful moment, you suddenly remembered your life-long dream.
You still wanted to be a scientist.
Thanks to that untouched dissertation, you got into a research institution.

My personal review: ★★★★★
This game was laying on my library has been a while, finally i finished playing it and i loved it, the story make me think about my life and stuff, it is a great game. Highly recommend
I took no joy in the scant few minutes I played before bowing out. Miserable game- which seems to be the point here.
Pretty relaxing to do some research that doesn't have your actual career and finances depend on it. 5 stars
Although cute and well-made, I wasn't expecting to get so hyper depressed about reliving our hellish capitalist landscape
I didn't play much so you can't trust my opinion, but this game is depressing. Which is mildly amusing, because it is about a dog :(
Well this was quite depressing story. At least the end is kind of ok. There could be some improvements for the controls (sometimes you click on a machine and dog just stands there doing nothing).
Overall an interesting short game, definetly worth the 2$ it asks.
I purchased this game as I was finishing college in order to have a job working in a laboratory. This game made me laugh cry as someone who has had this type of job before. It is incredibly accurate with its detailings of life in the lab and spot on with how long some forms of machines take versus other in the matter of operation. This is a cute little game that is easy to sit down and play a day or two of without spending hours on, and is very quick and easy to get the hang of. Great for relieving stress during finals!
This game is hilarious for all the wrong reasons...
It's a game about working efficiently, not really a game outside of it's cute graphics and terrible Engrish rather a training tool for an awful life in East Asia.
Seriously, the premise is: work like a dog, try to make your boss happy, try to spend your meager wages on food healthy enough to let you survive, do your laundry so your clothes are clean and then sleep... Oh and get some text messages from your mom...
Recommended for people living in an ant colony...
As a real researcher, I think most elements shown in this game is disgusting. If the story told in this game is real, maybe I have quit from my graduate school for a hundred times.
The length of the game should be longer cuz I ended up to work for 11 days and see the ending of the game. The story is touchy and the music is good. However, there are some abilities I don't even know how to use. Perhaps more turorials are needed.
This game was very cute and emotional. I really loved it. It's cheap too, so no reason to don't check it out.
Yet Another Research Dog is more like a short novel than a game. The game itself is challenging and renders you hurry scurry, and Research Dog's soliloquies calm you down from the fast-paced "work" and make you think about his life, his choice, and your own life and choice. It could be just me, but as a researcher, I felt emotionally drained and enormously satisfied at the ending scene.
Fun little game where you try to work a reseach job as a dogsbody where your boss is constantly hounding you to fetch better results. After my short play time I can't find a bone to pick this game yet.
Well "drawn" world with a story about a Dog that just wants to grow up and be a Scientist. The main character continually questions his choice and always looks at the other side where the grass might be greener.
Game features exagerated goals, overbearing bosses, and the suffering of dedicating your life to Science.
Guid 30 minute review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6Ditcb13QM
A fabulous small game. I enjoyed every minute of it. The emotions and struggles portrayed are very relatable. A meaningful game with a handful of cute quirks, I was a little sad when the game ended. I think I might play it again. If you like to waste a bit of time on a good sim game, this one is a perfect choice. And the art is so cute!
Yet Another Research Dog is a quirky point and click game about the life and tribulations of a scientific researcher. Having a background in the sciences myself, I can relate to this game as it strikes an emotional cord. For everyone that do not have a similar background, this will be an oddly accurate portrait of a scientist. The game itself is fun and humorous, providing a decent amount of content for cheaper than a cup of coffee. I highly recommend this game to all audiences.
This is a game developed by some who used to be researchers.
To some extent it's real storey, though exaggerated.
The core of this game is beyond nation and language. Many who dreamed to be scientists in their childhood, and struggled to go to college(maybe even prestigous) may have been in the same situation as the dog we control in the game enconters. They're not clever enough as those who can make breakthroughs, nor they do they have someone on whom they can lean in the academic world. Still they devote themselves to the dull work in the lab, coz the progress of science not only needs genious ideas,but also tedious work. They receive the salary not in propotion to their degrees attained during long campus life, they' re exploited by their boss, they lost vigor of juveniles and let years and months slip by. And there's no hope of anything's becoming better. Suddenly they find everything changed, those who didn't go to college have brought up a naughty boy and their family seem so harmonious .those friends in college have become derictors in their company and enjoying middle class life. Yet research dogs,they are repeating their hopeless days.
So why a dog as the main character? This is from an old Hongkong movie, A Chinese Odyssey. At the end of the movie, the hero Zhi Zun Bo choose to take on pains for his love, a walker-by comment as this: Look at this man, isn't he like a dog? Thus a man as a dog is used to describe someone who takes on heavy responsibility and keep on till the end of their journey.
I wonder if this game has English version. I hope this game can be appreciated by more around the world.
The dog is so cute, I like it.The story reminds me of my difficult time.It's a simple game, but I feel the sincerity of the producer and I am looking forward to your next work.
这是款很短小的游戏，游戏时间包括卡关，不超过三小时
但是作为一个PhD，这游戏真的戳中我的痛了
推荐所有PhD来感受一下，以及其他曾经目标考虑过读PhD的不要把它当成游戏而是一个故事来玩
不推荐想追求游戏性的玩家，这款游戏的游戏性可以说不是很好
I was mildly salty about how the game ended. The only thing that kept me playing was the storyline, yet it felt unfinished. I guess that's just how life works. Overall it's a good game to spend some time on.
Don't you just hate when the dog drive silently?
