ABOUT THE GAME
Tour the rooms,
Say goodbye to your family.
"goodbye, doggy" is a free puzzle created by Picogram at Global Game Jam 2019. The protagonist, who has ended his life as the family's pet dog, becomes a ghost and visits each room of the house.
EXAMINE
Check the kitchen,
Find a place to work.
In the posted screen, a ghost dog approaches the family in the kitchen, and "Examine" is displayed at the bottom of the screen. This is one of the scenes where you move around the house and interact with your surroundings.

Drifting up, down, left and right, going around the rooms of the house
Use the arrow keys to move the ghost dog up, down, left and right. When your dog enters a room, the room will be brightly displayed, allowing you to see your family and objects inside.
Engage nearby targets with the Z key
As you approach the target, the operation display at the bottom of the screen will change from "Bark" to "Examine." Use the Z key to examine people and objects and find the next action you can take.
Delivering small acts of kindness to each family member
The official description of Global Game Jam states that it is a work that uses surrounding objects and a dog's abilities to perform small acts of kindness and say a quiet farewell to each family member.
