Dog in the Machine is a tactical roguelite where you help an AutoDog escape a dystopian mecha-city and get back to its exiled humans.Â
Battle your way through a series of encounters, each taking place on a compact grid filled with reactive elements, enemy guardians, and strategic opportunities.
MASTER THE DOMINO EFFECT
Every battlefield is generated to be a chain-reaction playground. Domino effect collision systems, reactive enemies, conveyor belts, interactive buttons, explosive obstacles...
No boring fights: All these elements give players the opportunity to crack the perfect solution in each battle, destroying waves of enemies in a spectacular way.
DEEP TACTICS, ZERO FRUSTRATION
Thanks to a real-time preview system, you can see exactly how your instruction sequence will play out before committing. Smoothly try, cancel, retry, and build a solution without cognitive overload, experimenting freely until you find your favorite outcome.
If you lose, it will be due to a flaw in your strategy, not a careless mistake.
COMBINE YOUR TRICKS
After each battle, your AutoDog learns a new Trick. But more importantly, you will be able to train it to perform more complex Tricks, which you can create freely by combining two others.
You can follow blueprints or invent your own combinations. So by the end of the run, you will have created your own unique playstyle, based on powerful synergies.
