Even knowing what this game is about going in, it still manages to just hit you like a train; for being a simple puzzle game about a beloved dog who passed away, it conveys the grief of each of the family members in such a way that makes sense and is relatable. From helping with word puzzles, making food, licking the plates clean, and just giving each family a nostalgic memory to leave off on, Goodbye Doggy just knows the right buttons to push for each stage of sadness that anyone in life will experience from a passing.
There really isn't much to say about this game other than that; it's a simple point and click puzzle that has you, Doggy, do a few things for you family before passing onto the next life. The puzzles seem to be doable in a very open manner as you have the freedom to collect and give items as you please. I couldn't find any bugs or glitches on my two playthroughs, and for the message that this game is trying to convey, the length is just right to make the player feel
All in all, if you're looking for a trip down grief and acceptance, you should 100% play this game. It's a really short one, but one you'll remember
