Become the Bestest Hacker Doggo and Uncover a Conspiracy on August 14th
Toronto, Canada / August 6th, 2025 - What happens when you combine conspiracy, ethical hacking, and doggos into a mystery visual novel? Well, you get Autumn with the Shiba Inu, developed by Quill Game Studios, which is the exciting follow-up to the doggo battle royale mystery visual novel, A Summer with the Shiba Inu. This tail wagging mystery launches on Steam on August 14th, 2025 for $7.99 on Windows and Linux.
Autumn with the Shiba Inu puts players in the paws of freelance hacker, Quei-Li. This hacker doggo is given a new job: uncover information from the Allocated Reality Institute (ARI) about a high-profile corruption case. While she typically avoids high-risk jobs like this, her curiosity about the secret files and her wish to bring on paw-sitive change to Shiba Island convinces her to accept.

-
Choose Wisely: Help Quei-Li navigate her undercover job. Will she succeed in retrieving the classified data?

Multiple endings: What seems like a good outcome might cause someone else to suffer. Your choices impact the endings!
-
