    Syd’s journey to find her brother honestly feels more like a journey to find herself. And with the help of her two friends Max and Quei-Li, A Summer with the Shiba Inu was a journey I found myself wanting to go through multiple times.

The story's name and the splash art for the game left me expecting something completely different than Quill Game Studios and Ratalaika delivers. I'll try to avoid spoilers as much as I can. The story is about a Shiba Inu named Syd. Syd left her home island to experience the world, but has returned to see her home Ans old friends. What she finds is that much has remained the same, even her rivalries. The society on the Island is controlled by the ARI, and social status is controlled by an alternate reality death match know as the ARInas. Syd was the best of the best, the "top dog" in the ARInas, and this gained her a powerful asset, and many bitter enemies. After reuniting with her friend Max, a series of event ls unfold, reminding Syd why she left 10 years ago. The story is twisted, and goes to darker places than I expected it could. There are also three main endings for Syd as well as ten more endings for other characters you meet along the way. The art is beautiful, though there are a few things that made me raise an eyebrow, like human chairs in the Offices where pillows or matts would have made more sense. The music is fairly generic, but keeps the mood for the most part. If you like crazy twisted Matrix/ Back to the Future like story lines A Summer with the Shiba Inu is one to read, a few times at least.… Full Review »
