Heir of the Dog

Heir of the Dog is a pixel-art point-and-click comedy adventure from Tall Story Games, the studio behind Lucy Dreaming. Set in Victorian London, it follows Cummerbund Bandersnatch after an ill-advised drink of his uncle’s experimental formula leaves him with a monstrous problem. Exploration, conversations, puzzle solving and manipulating time are central to his attempt to regain his humanity.

The mystery takes Bandersnatch through London’s back streets and into a conspiracy involving a secret society, the royal family and his uncle. Expect a story-led adventure with British humour rather than an action-focused monster game. The combination of a transformation story, detailed pixel art and time-based puzzles makes it a fit for players who enjoy investigating environments and working through unusual logic.
