  • V1.11 Patch Note - 4 March 2018

    Hi Everyone We are excited to share this update: New difficulty options From the feedback of our players, We noticed that some players thought the game was too hard, while some still wanted more challenges. To meet the requirements of different players, we set 4 difficulty levels for players to choose freely: Casual Amateur Normal(default difficulty in the previous versions) Professional You could choose the difficulty level when you started a new game. For players with saved progress, difficulty level could also be modified in option menu(both at the start scene and during game). The change would take effect immediately! Fix a bug that caused game stuck when the game started Correct some text errors

  • V1.1 Patch Note - 11 February 2018

    We are excited to share this patch: A new ending cutscene Many players feel upset and even desperate after finishing the game. The negative feeling is not what we want to express, so we make a new ending. In any kind of jobs, there will always be unpleasant experience. “Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you gonna get.”Even life of the research dog is hard, he clearly knows that sunshine follows after the storm. And it only comes from persistence. We hope the new ending will help you be more determined to your goal. Reduce the chance of traffic accidents. Reduce the frequency of power outage. Correct some mistakes of plot text.

Short description

The research dog is a newly graduated Ph.D.. His life-long dream is to become a great scientist, but the fortune is not on his side. After years of hard working, he is finally offered an intern position in a random lab. However, the job is not that easy and happy as he expected.

About this game

About Us Email: [email protected] About the Game Game Overview: This is an autobiographical casual game. Based on the experience of the founder of our studio and a bunch of other researchers, the story of a research dog, who has been long-term pushed and unequally treated, is presented in the game. In this game, players need to work on boss’s countless jobs in order to make enough money for daily supply. Pressure of being fired, starving or even being mentally destroyed is always a company of the research dog. Of course, you will also experience some interesting or surprising moments, for examples, the colleague’s help (or troubles), nice gift from your neighbor(or traffic jam) and so on. Game Features: 1. Art Style: In , 99% of the elements are shaped from black and white lines. Therefore the whole game world is filled with apathy and humor. 2. Characters: The hero of the game is a personified dog. And all the roles in the game are two most common pets in real life: cats and dogs. 3. Instruments: All the instruments in the game have their prototypes in the real world. And the way you operate them is well designed. 4. Soliloquize: As a vivid character, the research dog has its own opinion towards the society, but there is only one audience of all the thoughts, himself. Considering it is a story that telling himself, why not try to turn tragedy into comedy, turn sadness into fun as possible as we can. 5. Difficulty: The game play of is roughly 1.5 hours, lasting totally 11 days in the game. Every day is tougher than the previous. New gameplay or system will be introduced every several days. Real life: We introduce some of the elements in real life in this small game: such as having meals, sleep, traffic jam, washing cloth, and so on. You will find that the things that trouble ourselves in real life will always be an company with the research dog. Game Background: Throughout the long journey of your academic career, you've had many uncommon experiences. When it's time to play as a child, you were studying; when it's time to date as a teenager, you were studying. Because of the amount of scholarship offered, you chose a relatively ordinary universit…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 5, 2026 to Oct 5, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $0.99
  • Highest observed: $0.99

Yet Another Research Dog's USD price history spans from Oct 5, 2026 to Oct 5, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $0.99, the highest is $0.99, and the first visible tracked price is $0.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Yet Another Research Dog's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $0.99, from Oct 5, 2026 through Oct 5, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $0.99. The latest run records $0.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $0.99
  • Current list price: $0.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Yet Another Research Dog at $0.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
