An Airport for Aliens
Currently Run by Dogs
Review

An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs (2021) is a bizarre adventure where you need to fly to your fiancée but the airports are all run by dogs (and you are the last two people alive). You play by exploring the airport, talking to the dogs, deciphering their problems and helping where you can. It stands out for being both peculiar and adorable, with considerable affection to be found in its web of doggy wants and needs.

The strange setup sounds like a joke, but there's more than meets the eye to this challenge. As you meet the different dogs (all represented with Stock photos), you realise they need things. Things you can find in the different airport locations. Helping them means that in turn, they help you.

As you progress you make sense of the cryptic language on your boarding pass and the signage of the airport. This lets you start to navigate more easily. Something that's useful not only to get you to your fiancée but to help the dogs you meet to get what they need.

The result is a game about wandering a world you don't understand. The strange, bizarre airports are set against the warm familiarity of talking to your fiance. Through the distance and the confusion, you can find a way to nurture a long-distance relationship with a genuine sense of affection.
