🐶 New Release: Hello Yes, This is Dog

This game started with a meme and a tail wag.

I wanted to make something short, sweet, and just a little absurd—something that felt like the loyal confusion of a dog answering a ringing phone. From that spark came Hello Yes, This Is Dog: a mini solo RPG where you, a very good dog, pick up the phone and do your absolute best.

The game is simple:

You roll a die to find out who’s calling.

You roll again to find out what they need.

And then you roll to see how your canine heart responds.

At the end, you total up your Goodness Points and roll one final time to discover what it all meant: did you help someone in need? Solve a mystery by accident? Or were you—undeniably—a very good dog?

The whole game fits in an 8-page mini zine (printable on one sheet of paper), and is packed with:

• Strange callers

• Wobbly logic

• Sincere effort

• And a very bark-worthy final score table

This is the kind of game I love to make:

Mechanically simple, emotionally earnest, and a little bit ridiculous.

If you play it, let me know how it goes—especially if you manage to accidentally solve a crime.

Thanks for barking along.
