‘My Little Puppy’ – Heartwarming Adventure Game From KRAFTON Ranks High on Steam Ahead of 2025 Launch
SEO Breaking News: Gamers are already buzzing about ‘My Little Puppy,’ the upcoming PC title from KRAFTON’s Dreammotion studio. The game, currently ranking 8th in domestic Steam sales, is set to launch on November 7, 2025, and is already capturing hearts with its unique premise and emotional depth. This is a significant development for KRAFTON, signaling potential success for a project deeply rooted in personal connection and storytelling.
A Journey Inspired by Love and Loss
‘My Little Puppy’ isn’t just another video game; it’s a deeply personal project born from the developer’s own experiences with their beloved canine companions. The game’s narrative is beautifully inspired by a poignant Korean proverb: “When a person leaves this world, the dog that departed first will come to pick up its owner.” Players step into the paws of Bong, a charming Welsh Corgi, embarking on a touching quest to reunite with his owner’s father in the afterlife.
This isn’t a power fantasy or a competitive shooter. Dreammotion is deliberately focusing on a story-driven experience, emphasizing emotional resonance over action. The game promises a single-player adventure where players will explore diverse and evocative regions of the afterlife – from serene oceans to arid deserts and snow-capped mountains – encountering other dogs and humans, each carrying their own stories of love, loss, and longing. The focus on a dog’s perspective is a novel approach, offering a unique lens through which to explore themes of grief and remembrance.
The Power of Pet Grief and the Growing Gaming Landscape
The announcement comes at a time when the gaming industry is increasingly recognizing the power of emotionally resonant narratives. While blockbuster titles often dominate headlines, indie and smaller studio games like ‘My Little Puppy’ are finding success by tapping into universal human experiences. The game’s theme of pet loss is particularly poignant, as the grief associated with losing a pet is often deeply felt and rarely addressed directly in mainstream gaming.
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, over 65% of U.S. households own a pet. This vast audience represents a significant potential market for games that acknowledge and validate the emotional bond between humans and animals. ‘My Little Puppy’ appears to be uniquely positioned to appeal to this demographic, offering a comforting and cathartic experience for those who have experienced the pain of losing a furry friend.
Early Access and Pricing Details
Currently listed on Steam at a price of 2,900 yen (tax included), ‘My Little Puppy’ will be available at a special commemorative price of 2,320 yen (tax included) for the first two weeks after launch, until November 18th. This limited-time offer is likely to drive early adoption and generate further buzz around the game. The Steam store page (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2102040/_/) is already live, allowing potential players to wishlist the game and stay updated on its development.
Dreammotion’s representative shared that the game is a heartfelt tribute to their own dogs, a desire to offer solace to those grieving the loss of a pet, and a hopeful message about the enduring nature of love and the possibility of reunion. This genuine sentiment, combined with the game’s unique premise and strong pre-launch Steam ranking, suggests that ‘My Little Puppy’ has the potential to become a truly special and memorable gaming experience. The game’s success will undoubtedly be closely watched by both KRAFTON and the wider gaming community, demonstrating the growing appetite for emotionally intelligent and deeply personal storytelling within the medium.
