The game's message about climate change and human mistreatment of the environment should weigh heavy on everyone's shoulders. It is conveyed very nicely both through subtle and overt changes of the background scenery and short action set pieces that play out while you can move around freely.

I felt that the gameplay loop of balancing foraging for your pups with the discovery of this dystopian world was satisfying. Towards the end of the game, when all areas are discovered, it lost a bit of it's original intrigue for me, but luckily the game does not overstretch it. The mix of 2D movement in a 3D world felt fresh and was really a joy to behold.

Animation, artstyle and atmosphere were great, but I felt the main story did not have the emotional impact that it could have had, if it had focused more on the animal characters rather than shifting to humans.

I can recommend it regardless, but do get it on sale!
