Production

DogDay is one of two games released by the nine-member Australian development studio known as Asylum or Eyst. The game was published by Impact Interactive Publishing (USA), Bomico Entertainment Software (Germany) and Hyper Force (Netherlands). In late 1998 the game was ported on the PlayStation by the studio Something Good as a Japan-only exclusive, re titled Curiosity kills the cat?. An official guide for the game was marketed.

Dog Day II was tentatively scheduled for release in the third quarter of 1999, but this never came to fruition.

Plot and gameplay

The title plays as a 1st-person point and click adventure game. The narrative sees the player take the role of a dog (in a world where dogs are people). They are living under a corrupt regime caused by a dictator named Chegga. The player must find evidence of Chegga's crimes and sell it to a group called C.A.T.S. (Coalition Against Totalitarian Society), who will give him enough money to buy a train ticket to escape.

Critical reception

PC Joker felt the title embodied "solid mediocrity" and "all around averageness". Tap Repeatedly decided the game was visually impressive by 2003 standards.
