Rablo Games announced the demo for 'Days Spent with a Golden Retriever' will release on August 12 in Japan due to time zones. The PC (Steam) demo covers the first seven days of gameplay, featuring live-action footage of the developer's own dog, Pichu. The full game is slated for early 2027.
The demo for 'Days Spent with a Golden Retriever' arrives on Steam on August 12 in Japan, one day after the global date, due to time zone differences. It covers the first seven days of the game, letting players feed, walk, groom, and train Pichu, the developer's own golden retriever, whose name can be changed.
Gameplay is built around live-action footage shot by the developer. Walks let players pick a destination and encounter other dogs, adding photos to an album. Grooming and training raise Pichu's stats, which unlock more options. A food shop and toy shop offer new items as money accumulates.
The full game is planned for release on PC (Steam) in the first quarter of 2027.
