A kid named Dustin receives a puppy for his 8th birthday. He names the dog Balthazar and the two soon become best friends. They land in trouble and help each other get out of it, learn about the world together and become virtually inseparable.
One day a tragedy happens. Dustin is hit by a van and lands in the hospital. Kid goes into a coma. His faithful dog stays by his side and dreams while lying beside him in the bed.
Balthazar’s dream take him through strange and mysterious lands of dog-stuff, he sees wonderful things as usual but he also feels the presence of two entities. With his nose he recognizes one as Dustin and follows him, the other lurks menacingly in the darkness and Balthazar is sure it is here to take the boy away.
He embarks on a quest to save the kid following his instinct and scent, roaming the dreamscape with love and conviction only a dog may have.
Hello Balthazar friends!
After our successful Kickstarter and Greenlight we've finally can pour all of our time into the development of the game.
And by all I mean weekends and nights, because we now LOVE OUR JOB!
Here are some things we've conjured so far:
- deadly boars for forest level
- spiky thorns for forest level

Your devs Piotr & Sawa
