Another unfinished game, for no apparent reason - I LOVE pirates, and while Jolly Rover had sea dogs (literally) instead of a regular buccaneers, I can’t say that bothered me - nor the Monkey Island-esque humorous take on the swashbuckling adventure. Another pawsitive (ouch!) element is a Sierra-esque upper bar that will inform you of the current score, the rank, pet cetera. Wait! I remember it now - I didn’t like how the current quest is also visible, it felt “casual”, to put it ruffly. I also didn’t like that the game had you collecting crackers along the way, but I might be barking up the wrong tree because they’re only used for an optional hint system, to feed your parrot-sidekick.

I mean - ANOTHER unfinished game, just like the previous one, from my side. So, I can’t pointer you whether the game itself is “finished” or not. Maybe someone else can whelp you with that.

A surprisingly good game, and more serious than you would think a game where everybody is dogs would be. I mean it is a comedy, kind of similar to monkey island, but there is nothing cutsie or casual about it, just dogs in all the roles, and a lot of dog jokes similar to the one in the title.

When I said “casual” I wasn’t addressing the game’s tone, theme… but the fact that at every moment there’s a current mini-quest to be seen at the top of the screen, the one you should tackle in order to progress (similar to some HOGs) which is a deterioration of the classic p&c adventure vibe IMO, and a hand-holding to a minor, but certain degree.

Hey, buster, a game like Keepsake comes once in a 10 years, so I’m in no hurry to finish it! (actually, I did progress but the stupid crash bag kept me from playing, and now I have reinstalled it, and of course, lost the save game in the process )
