Summary
In The Dog Island, you are the star of the story, and you live with your mother and sibling (you can choose whether you have a brother or a sister) in Puroro Village. Your sibling (your choice, remember) has been sick for a long time and doesn't seem to be getting any better. On the night of Puroro's town festival, your sibling collapses.
Hearing that only Doctor Potan of The Dog Island can cure this sickness, you board a ship and set sail for the island to meet the good doctor.
Once on The Dog Island, and in the quest to find a cure for your sick sibling, you can help yourself by helping other dogs in need. Dogs show their gratitude by exchanging 'woofs'. Some dogs will give you woofs when you help them, and you can trade woofs for items at the stores, or use them to spend the night at an inn.
Aimed squarely at the younger end of the market, The Dog Island is a simple enough tale, delightfully told, and includes a host of minigames to distract from the main story thread, especially for those youngsters with an extra-short attention span.
