Make peace with your anxiety, puppy.
Today, Anxiety Puppy presents a tender, heartfelt story about learning to live with anxious feelings. This hand-drawn, interactive narrative follows a young woman as she tries to find her footing in a busy city while carrying the burden of job interviews, workplace pressures, and family expectations. Her growing stress takes the form of a small, anxious puppy, a quiet companion that reflects the emotions she often tries to ignore.
The game uses a picture book art style with soft lines and warm tones, creating an inviting space to explore thoughts that are often difficult to deal with. Through light fantasy elements and calm interactions, players begin to see anxiety not as something dark, but as something that harbors traces of care beneath the surface. Every choice, reflection, and moment spent with your puppy shows that emotional discomfort can still make a difference.
Anxiety Puppy offers a gentle emotional release. He treats inner tension with kindness, encouraging players to come to terms with their feelings rather than push them away. The puppy becomes a symbol of those parts of ourselves that seek understanding. As players progress, the story pushes them toward acceptance and clarity of identity, allowing the warmth of the game to stay with them even after they're gone.
Created by Puppy Studio and published by Erabit, Anxiety Puppy will be released on Steam on December 10th. The team hopes that this experience will be a small source of solace for anyone seeking peace of mind in a rapidly changing world. Let this quiet journey help you discover a moment of inner ease when the time comes.
