Luckily, you can save any you wish to keep to your gallery prior to deleting them, so you won’t really lose them. This isn’t so much of an issue as it is a hassle, but you’ll have to recycle them to re-use the film. You can increase this through camera upgrades but not by much, so you’ll probably run out pretty quickly. When you begin the game, you only have the capacity for ten shots. Pupperazzi rewards us with followers for using techniques like low and wide shots, but it would have benefitted from allowing us a little more creative liberty. There are several techniques, filters and lenses to try out, but make sure you upload your best pictures to the in-game social media platform, DogNet, to further increase your following. Some requests will ask you to use a specific lens or filter, but for the most part, you’re free to experiment. I enjoyed this freedom to a degree but would have preferred some more ambiguous requests that required me to use my head a little more – most were as simple as “take a photo of a dog on a skateboard”. Even the requests are relatively straightforward, allowing you to take everything at your own pace as you flit between locations and snap shots of whatever catches your eye. Despite these requests popping up frequently, Pupperazzi has no real expectations of you. Some of these requests will be accessible to you immediately upon entering an area, whilst some are hidden and require you to first discover a green envelope.Ĭompletion of these requests will earn you social media followers and Bonks – a golden bone-shaped currency that allows you to purchase upgrades to your camera and items that can be used to interact with the dogs. From that point on, you’ll be able to travel to different locations and receive requests from other dogs. His first request is simple – to take a picture of him – but it introduces us to the game mechanics. We begin our career at Lighthouse Cove where we meet Sea Dog – a small dog in adorable yellow boots and a matching raincoat. Once I’d gotten used to the initial strangeness of the game, I could enjoy its wholesome nature because there is nothing more wholesome than a world full of dogs. As a first-person photography experience, you’ll spend much of your time looking through a camera lens, so it was a little unnerving when I reached out to pet a dog with an arm that could belong to Mister Fantastic. I’ll admit it was a little creepy at first. As an anthropomorphic camera on legs – strange, I know – it’s our job to snap shots of these glorious dogs in action and share them with the world to build a social media following. Unique as it is, the premise is simple enough. Couple that with Pupperazzi’s catchy, upbeat music, and you’ve got yourself a great combination. It’s bright, colourful and full of variety – you can return to locations at different times of day, and they’ll have a whole new feel to them. Graphically speaking, Pupperazzi is simple but charming. ![]() ![]() There are a handful of humans milling about too, but it’s clear that the dogs run the show. Sundae Month’s Pupperazzi acknowledges our love for our canine friends and creates a vibrant, sandbox world full of dogs of all breeds and sizes. They’re inherently honest, affectionate, and make loyal companions. There is a reason dogs are so often described as man’s best friend. You have to leave your current location, abandoning all unsaved photos in the process, and return to your Home base every time.There might be better uses of my time than spending hour upon hour snapping shots of all the good pups out there, but I can’t imagine those uses would be more enjoyable. For example, you can’t access your gallery of favourite pupper pics, or collectibles checklist, at will. Meanwhile, you’re likely to encounter off-putting bugs and clunky navigation choices. Playing into the stylisation of the game, dogs and other characters hop stiffly around environments, which may grate players who prefer more credible doggie animations. On the downside, Pupperazzi is rough (ruff?) around the edges. There’s currently not that much to do unless you become obsessed with achieving unique shots, or returning to roam the relaxing game universe after a long day. That said, you’ll probably still be done with the game in around four hours. ![]() So there’s plenty to keep you occupied, regardless of your interests. Collectibles fans aren’t left out either, as there’s a Puppypedia of dog breeds and other special in-game canines to capture for your photo album. The game is positioned as a charming, low-stress experience for dog lovers and game photography enthusiasts of all ages. ![]() That’s about the extent of realism in Pupperazzi, however. ![]()
