Each picture you take in the game can subsequently be uploaded to Dog Net, Pupperazzi's in-game social media network where canines from all over the world offer up compliments on your artistic endeavors… until they've had enough and call you out for "spamming," that is. You see, all your beloved snapshots also serve another purpose in Pupperazzi: making you a social media star. While the seaside cove you begin in is a bit small, housing only 20 or so tail-wagging beach bums, subsequent levels are a bit larger and more intricate, offering up plenty of room for even more pups and photo-worthy moments that are well worth capturing-even if they don't meet the criteria required to fulfill your requests. Ultimately, acquiring bones and making these purchases doesn't just serve as a means to enhance your artistry it also helps you accomplish more complex requests which, in turn, unlock different areas of the game. You can also find a handful of these bones hidden around the game's quirky and colorful locales, a small incentive to traverse Pupperazzi's various boardwalks, red rocks, and city blocks. In your menu, you can adjust what lens and film you are using, allowing you to take plenty of fish-eye photos in "far out" colors, super-cute selfies, and even some somber black-and-white portraits.Īfter taking your first photo and submitting it to the scruffy sailor for review, the rest of the game starts to unfold as you fulfill photo requests to earn golden bones-the currency used to purchase new film, lenses, and camera upgrades that help elevate your photography to new heights. While walking around, you have the options to crouch, jump, pull out your camera, and extend your spaghetti-like limbs to interact with both dogs and random objects. In Pupperazzi, you remain in first-person as you scout locations and as you ready your camera to take photos of all the game's rambunctious pups. Pupperazzi's Sea DogĪccomplishing this task, and interacting with the world in general, is fairly straightforward. Your photo-filled adventure begins in a small cove beside a lighthouse, where an endearing "sea dog" clad in a yellow fisherman's jacket greets you with a simple request: Take a picture of him. In Pupperazzi, you play a living camera, equipped with stringy limbs and hands perfectly crafted for giving pets and throwing frisbees. However, all these warm fuzzy feelings and vibrant world aren't enough to make up for Pupperazzi's frustrating lack of variety when it comes to things to do, which ultimately leads to a repetitive gameplay loop. Set in a world almost entirely inhabited by playful pooches, the first-person photography game perfectly aligns with a growing desire for more peaceful experiences, making it ideal for those looking for cozy games. Sundae Month's Pupperazzi is, conceptually, adorable. Or, more relevantly, that you just weren't a fan of the cute n' cozy indie game you had hoped you would love. Truth be told, we've reached a point where not liking dogs just feels a bit, well, wrong-like admitting you hate sweets or can't stand the feeling of a freshly made bed.


Dogs are good-providing the world with ceaselessly comforting and fiercely loyal companions. There are some limits to the gameplay though, with only a set number of photographs uploadable per day so as to avoid “spamming” followers, while camera film and lenses cost in-game currency: golden bones known as Bonks.Dogs are one of the few remaining precious things in life. Players must also grow their following on the in-game social media platform, dogNET, by sharing their best snaps for the in-game world to enjoy.

Unlike other photography games like Pokémon Snap, the game isn’t on-rails, instead giving players the opportunity to explore each level at their own pace. As well as the core level completion, players can snap each and every dog type to complete their Puppypedia, as well as conditional images, such as Dog Wearing Hat, or Sleeping Dog. Objectives involve photographing different dogs in different ways, making use of the game’s various unlockable lenses and film, and encouraging player exploration. Players are tasked with traversing a handful of different locations as a walking camera, completing objectives implemented throughout each level in order to progress. Pupperazzi is a first-person photography title set in a world overrun by dogs.
