Scathing social commentary meets the gamer generation.

They'll make anything into a game

I love the fact that we as gamers are willing to do any menial task, even ones we whole heartedly evade in the real world, assuming it's displayed on a slick electronic display and we have some sort of controller. (see: chibi robo, elebits, diner dash)

Well here's the latest and greatest escapist *ahem* actually it's not an escapist activity at all. So here it is, DDR meets dog walking, because why not right? How dare we assume you would actually like to walk your real dog. Let him bark at the door you've got video games to play.

The game functions as you walking on a treadmill fluctuating your speed to keep your dog happy while also dodging incoming obstacles. Fail to dodge one and your dog dies. Fail to go and walk your real dog? Well that one can lead to death as well, only that one involves clean up.
