Robodog
Robodog is a 3D puzzle game in which players control a robotic dog that can scan objects and use the names of those objects to solve puzzles! But what happens when this ability is taken off the leash? Players explore their environments, create objects, and ultimately must reconcile their hope in their owner when they wake up outside their comfortable home. This game was made by an amazing team of 4 and was showcased at USC Game Expo!
