Description
Bong-gu's Early Life
Bong-gu, a Welsh Corgi, was previously an abandoned dog. His docked tail indicates that he had a previous owner who cared for him at some point, yet he was ultimately left without a home. As an eight-year-old senior dog suffering from multiple illnesses, finding a new family was challenging. His days at the animal shelter were spent inside a cage, each one more somber than the last.
A New Beginning
Everything changed when Bong-gu encountered a new family. The man who adopted him appeared somewhat untidy and socially awkward, but Bong-gu was drawn to his scent. From that day onward, Bong-gu experienced the simple joys of a dog’s life once again, including playing games like tug-of-war, running freely, eating, and resting. Eventually, Bong-gu passed away peacefully, having lived a happy, uncomplicated life.
The Journey Beyond
In dog heaven, Bong-gu awakens one day to a scent he recognizes immediately. It is faint but unmistakably that of his adoptive father. Excited, Bong-gu leaves dog heaven to embark on a journey to reunite with his dad. This adventure is not without challenges, as unforeseen dangers lie ahead. Just as his father once found him by chance, it is now Bong-gu's turn to find his way back.
Exploration of a Vibrant World
The journey takes place in a world that balances between the afterlife and the familiar, offering landscapes that feel both strange and inviting. Players traverse deserts, snowy mountains, and beaches, engaging in diverse gameplay that combines adventure, action, and racing elements. Being a dog, Bong-gu faces natural limitations in his abilities. Sniffing, barking, running, and jumping all require careful consideration, and to overcome obstacles, he must interact with humans and other dogs. Each character encountered shares their own story, providing guidance, assistance, and companionship throughout the journey.
Connections and Challenges

The Reunion
