Games Like BARKO

A good boy never gives up.

Barko is a story-rich 2D adventure about a very good dog with a very questionable sense of direction.

Barko's story begins in a dog shelter. He doesn't know where he's going, what he'll find out there, or why the world seems to be getting progressively weirder.

He only knows one thing:

Somewhere out there, a human needs him.

And apparently that's enough of a plan.

Leave the shelter behind and venture into a bizarre world filled with strange creatures, ridiculous situations, unexpected friendships, puzzles, secrets, and people who probably shouldn't be trusted with basic responsibilities.

Along the way, Barko will have to explore unusual places, help questionable individuals, survive increasingly unreasonable bullet-hell encounters, and somehow keep moving toward the human waiting for him.

Why does this human need him?

Barko doesn't know.

He's a dog.

He's doing his best.

There is a human out there who needs saving.

Unfortunately for everyone involved, we're sending a dog. BARKO's journey doesn't necessarily end at release.

If the game finds its audience, I'd love to keep expanding its world with new characters, areas, adventures and other free content over time.
