Blink and you'll miss it, but Inush Escape 3, an escape game by, as you might have guessed, Inush, is still seriously adorable. In it, you play a tag-team of pup and owner... both want to get out of the house, but they'll need to work together to do so, starting with getting the dog out of its crate. While the text is in Japanese, you don't need to be able to understand it to play. The game is split into two views, with the dog on the bottom and the human on top, and you have to know when to use each character to proceed. The human obviously can pick up and use items, while the pup can dig, mess with things with its paws, and so on according to the action icons on the right side of the screen. While short and definitely on the easy side, Inush Escape 3 is such a great idea and executed so cutely that it brightens your day, and hopefully one day dog and human bestie will reunite for an even bigger, bolder escape... though we wouldn't say no to more of these bite-sized delights either. Can you find both endings?

That was short, but really well executed. I'd like to see a longer game using the same mechanics some time.
I love that idea of teamwork between human & dog. Very cute!
I get "walking end" . Is there more than one ending?
Kay Paulson: Yes, there is a second end.
Focus on the word "end".
As in the end of the game.
Change your very last click.
Have the dog leave the room first rather than the owner.

I really liked that concept! The game was indeed short, but satisfying. I too would love to see a longer game like that.
Oh my god I love the concept of having two different perspectives to complete an escape game! The fact your helper was dog made it super adorable. Very short, but very sweet!! Adding my voice to chorus of people interested in a longer game with this mechanic. Very clever.
5 stars for the split-screen cooperative concept. I'd love to see more game designers try this.
Running end...so cute!
