About This Game

A boy named Dustin falls into a coma following a collision with an ice cream truck, leaving little hope for his recovery. His dog remains faithfully by his side, dreaming of bizarre and mysterious lands full of canine marvels. This is Balthazar, Dustin's best friend, and he refuses to leave his owner. Inside the dream, Balthazar senses two entities; identifying one as Dustin, he uses his nose to track him, while the other lurks ominously in the dark. Balthazar is certain this dark presence intends to take the boy away.

With a loud bark, Balthazar begins a quest to save his owner, navigating the dream world with the love and determination only a dog can possess.
