Our take on Sun Dogs
The game’s focus on exploration, body alteration, and responsive writing leaves less room for a fixed protagonist and a fully predetermined narrative. Its modding system also trades a single unchanging version of the game for content that can be added or rewritten.
What is Sun Dogs?
Explore a future version of the inner solar system across planets, moons, and space stations.
Locations include the Sun’s corona, Venusian clouds, and the plains of Mars. In this setting, people alter their bodies to adapt to different environments, and the player is expected to do likewise. When the current body dies, the mind receives another one and the journey continues. Text changes in response to the character and their actions. The game also includes a modding system for adding material or rewriting the game. Its science-fiction setting combines planetary travel, body alteration, death, continued consciousness, responsive writing, and user-created changes within one exploratory experience.
