The demo was so good, I had to play the full game and get goth endings. Good job!
Absolutely fantastic game, short and sweet. Got scared so bad that I actually destroyed my throat lol :
GRACIAS por elaborar este juego me parece interesante jugue tu demo y quede intrigado con como ira la historia completa un saludo y vere la manera de comprar tu juego. dejo mi aporte.
I love this game. Nice message at the end. Enjoyed the story and would play again to try and get the other achievements. Bought on steam.

Jogo muito bom!!! O final Feliz com nosso amigo... Uma mensagem reflexiva no final.
muy buen juego la verdad, no se como no es tan famoso
I remember playing the demo for this and having a great time Im glad I chose to go back and play the full version!!! Awesome experience
Hola! Absolutely loved the message behind the game. Mutant dog was scary but would do it all over again to save my best friend.
Looks really cool :) I'm definitely purchasing this!
Thanks! if you like it, please don't forget to rate the game :)
please add achievements in version GOG.com
Done!
love some good body horror & jumpscares :) this game genuinely freaked me out! great work!
Had been following the game for a while, finally got to play it! Cool story, and very nice and forgiving mechanics to make the gameplay very smooth! I was actually so freaked out by the concept of a bipedal 9 foot dog stalking me down. Great work, I'll be looking out for your next project!
I really liked your work in this game, well done!
We played Canine on stream and had a blast. You executed the game very well on top of that with the story build up just to find out theirs more going on! The credits were rather a bit sad about the dogs that died and that their are several dogs that could use an adoption, it truly is saddening. Well done Puko. Canine was fun!
Totalemente un juegazo. Una historia bastante interesante y los guiños a la cultura Argentina me cautivaron. 10/10
Great PSX Modeling thank you!
Full Play NO Commentary
This was Amazing,
I NEED MORE I MUST HAVE MORE!good boy
Buenísimo! Con el c... fruncido toda la segunda mitad. Bueno el concepto, jugabilidad, y estética (y la temática y mensaje al final <3). Por ahí necesita un poco de optimización en el nivel más grande (sobre todo para computadoras más débiles) pero es jugable igual
Un bug que encontré: (semi SPOILER) si tirás la pelota y el bicho te mata, cuando te carga en el checkpoint aparecés sin la pelota (y la pelota está donde la tiraste)
Keep hitting invisible walls - let me know if i can help troubleshoot at all. Even at the very beginning, hold down W to move forward and just stopped. have to walk around the invisible obstacle
Hello! Everything seems to be fine. In what language did you play? What resolution did you play in? Thank you.

Weirdest thing - I tried the game twice yesterday and it did it consistently in the same spots. Restart it today, not doing it all. Go figure. Thanks for the quick reply!

Watched a video of your game and I have to say it was a fun little time. I thought the idea was fun and had a few good moments.
What is the name of then ending song you use in the credits? Is there a link to it somewhere, I really love it?
I loved the Demo, and i loved this. The music for Ruben was awesome and the game itself felt fantastic. Good stuff PuKo !
I made a video on your game if you're interested :)Saben que me encantó y espero la salida en steam. Amo el terror, el estilo psx y el mensaje que dejaron 10/10.
P.D: Ruben pensé que eramos amiguis.
Heeeeeey....I really enjoyed this "short" game. Well, I didn't make it a short game in the end. LoL!
I thought it was put together very well for an indie title. Good stuff!
I chickened out on this game!!! I couldn't finish it lol. Great game though!!!
Great game! I loved it. It was creepy and intense the whole time. And the weird story was awesome. Thanks for the fun!
It's a cool game and I love how there was small lore on how the monster was made
