Our take on Best Friend Forever
Rather than separating romance from simulation, the game makes dog care part of the dating-sim structure. Training, play, and wellbeing activities sit alongside relationship development, replacing the genre’s usual focus on conversations and romance alone.
What is Best Friend Forever?
Best Friend Forever combines dog care with dating-sim gameplay in Rainbow Bay.
Players adopt one of four shelter dogs: a Maltese, Shiba Inu, Mutt, or Staffordshire Terrier. Each dog has its own backstory, personality, strengths, and weaknesses. Dog care includes patting, playing, training, and looking after the animal’s wellbeing through Paws Academy and Rainbow Bay Vet Clinic. Alongside pet care, players meet six Rainbow Bay residents and develop relationships through the Woofr dating app. The available residents include a family lawyer, a youth counselor, a Pomeranian lover, and an ice-skating Samoyed owner.
