Wholesome&Warm Anxiety Puppy Launches on Dec. 9th

November 27, 2025 – Anxiety Puppy is a hand-drawn interactive narrative game centered on the theme of making peace with anxiety. Through story interactions and emotional retrospection, players accompany an “anxiety puppy” gently uncover the feelings behind anxiety, and ultimately move toward self-acceptance and personal growth. Anxiety Puppy launches on December 9.

In the game, you play as an ordinary young woman struggling in a bustling city. Under the weight of job interviews, workplace manipulation, and family expectations, you finally come face-to-face with your own anxious emotions.

The dev team personifies abstract anxiety as a small dog and adopts an original picture-book art style with soft lines and warm tones. Through a touch of magical realism, the game offers an intuitive way to understand the nature of anxiety—lightening the heaviness often found in mental-health-themed games and instead delivering emotional resonance through warmth and interaction.

“We didn’t want to make a game that force-feeds positivity,” the team says. “We wanted to create a safe emotional space. Everyone’s anxiety deserves to be seen. Just like the puppy in the game—it’s not an enemy, but a companion that needs understanding. We hope players can practice coexisting with their emotions, and that this ‘healing found in a virtual world’ can extend into real life.”

This winter, step into the world of Anxiety Puppy, meet the little dog hidden within your heart, untangle its black threads—and gently set down your own emotional burdens.
