Dog on the Cover
A downloadable game
Every bookseller (or librarian) has dealt with their fair share of stupid questions, whether or not they’ll openly admit it. Imagine a customer coming to the children’s section and asking for the book with the dog on the cover. The bookseller could pull a book off the shelf at random, and there’s a 50% chance it will match that description. Now imagine that happens roughly one to five hundred times a week, and you know how booksellers feel. Great booksellers maintain their customer service face and politely assist these clueless customers, but the overly friendly smile disguises their true thoughts: “Not this fucking shit again.”
In this game, one player is a very frazzled bookseller, who's at the end of a long shift and fed up with stupid questions from stupid customers. The other is a stupid customer full of stupid questions, coming to the bookstore at the last minute to buy a book they know almost nothing about.
Will the bookseller successfully find the book, or will one of them lose their damn mind first?
DOG ON THE COVER is very much based on real life experiences, and I wanted to capture that frustration in a more fun outlet. This is my very first game, so I'd love feedback on it if you play!
