Our take on DOGMAN

Instead of making combat the standard answer to danger, DOGMAN centers survival on stealth, awareness, and hiding. Its free-roam structure spreads the investigation across four maps, while the stalking creature turns ordinary searches for objects into threats that must be managed through avoidance.

What is DOGMAN?

DOGMAN is a single-player survival horror and mystery game based on the Michigan Dogman legend.

Hikers have gone missing in Hopkins State Park, secret trail cameras must be retrieved in Blue Ridge Campground, and suspicious events have been noticed at Amberg Industrial Park. Players travel to different locations to track down objects of interest while a creature watches from the shadows and waits for an opportunity to attack. Stealth, awareness, and hiding places are central to surviving these encounters. The game features four unique maps and free-roam gameplay. Its background draws on the Michigan Dogman legend, including an 1887 sighting in Wexford County involving a tall, dog-headed creature that walked on two legs.
