Description

Hello Goodboy is a heartwarming, wholesome adventure featuring Iko, a boy new to the afterlife. With no memory of what brought him to the world beyond, he must rely on Coco, a strangely familiar dog who will help him solve the mysteries of this new existence.

Journey through unknown, yet familiar places, meeting fellow souls on their own adventures through the afterlife. Pay it forward with generous favors for them and try to figure out just why Iko landed in the land beyond to begin with. However, mind the time: there's only so much of it!

  • Craft a personal fairy tale atmosphere and a heartwarming story, as Iko and Coco make their way through the afterlife.

  • Unravel mysteries and collect bundles of joy

  • Give endless bellyrubs to Coco along the way!

  • Befriend the dozens of denizens in the afterlife like a lonely child, an anxious couple, an overworked lumberjack, and more.

  • Everyone has a story to tell and a task Iko can help with.

  • After you help them through their problems, break out the comfort food and relax together.

But you only have so much time. Decide who you spend time with, as visiting some will prevent you from making relationships with others, and discover how your choices will affect Iko's story through multiple endings.

  • Coco is the closest friend in the afterlife anyone could ask for - also the best of boys!

  • His nose combined with Iko's fixing skills will be key to discovering the metaphysical mysteries found around the world beyond.

  • Pamper him with bellyrubs and playing with toys to keep his “Goodboy-o-meter” fulfilled.

"Hello Goodboy" is a unique, cozy game, with its narrative, simple gameplay, and especially its art style, world design, characters, and more. It also possesses a minor talent in artistic aspects, art, and drawing

I mean I get the artistry but this is a story, not a game. There were only two puzzles. The rest was just clicking the space bar through dialogue the whole time. I know its meant for me to want to play it over and over

If you play it one time only, it is a good game. If you play it two times, which will give you the "true ending", it will still be good. Adorable artstyle and one of the most amazing soundtracks I've ever heard in a

Unfortunately, Hello Goodboy just wasn’t for me. I picked it up because it won an award during the 2022 Wholesome Direct, and with only 62 reviews on Steam since its release in May last year, I was curious to see what

There's not much gameplay in this game, as it's mainly a story delivery device, and the story isn't that interesting or innovative. You can probably guess it like 5 minutes in. I am not quite sure who this game is for,
