Wobbledogs
Wobbledogs is a 3D pet simulation where you raise your own personal hive of rapidly mutating dogs, physically simulated all the way down to their guts! It’s a casual and chill sandbox experience for players of all ages who want to care for their very own virtual pets in a surprising, unique, and stress-free environment. The dogs start out relatively normal, but mutate and behave in surprising ways as the game progresses and their evolutionary lines advance.
Dogs have highly variable bodies controlled by a simulated genetics system. As they age, they periodically enter a pupal state and physically mutate. The foods they eat fill their guts with different flora, just like in the gif above. These flora influence the dogs’ mutations, letting you craft and mold them to fit your own idea of canine (im)perfection!
Dogs need a place to call home, and it’s up to you to create an appealing habitat to help them thrive. As you play, you’ll gain access to more and more objects and decorations. String together rooms and decorate them however you’d like. Give your dogs a relaxing place to sleep, set up an maze, or even cultivate a garden. There are no built-in goals, so you can prioritize whatever you like the most!
The dogs in this game are physically simulated, which adds a layer of uniqueness to almost every action they take. Two dogs with separate body structures will experience the world in different ways. They also have unique personality traits that influence the types of behaviors they tend to run and govern how they interact with other dogs and objects.
Wobbledogs is meant to be enjoyable simply to passively observe, but it’s also rewarding to interact with the dogs directly, whether that’s petting them to relieve some stress, tossing a pup around to watch it tumble through the pen, or helping your canine companion get free after it wriggled itself into a particularly tight space. These dogs try their best, but sometimes they need a bit of extra help!

One of my proudest achievements is sitting down with a real physical notebook and taking notes on the genetics of my winged dogs to figure out how to breed for them. After that I did enough experimenting and note-taking to determine the genetics of each wing type. I made a whole chart about it. It was the most fun I've ever had doing science and I felt so smart once my hypotheses were proven correct. The genetics are so complex and interesting, but everything is coated in a layer of silly fun that really makes for a great experience.
There is something very wrong with these dogs and I love them so very much.

You can do Rimworld level warcrimes in this game.
I found this game to be somewhere in between Spore and the Chao garden of Sonic Adventure 2. Both of these were a couple of my favorite games growing up so naturally I had to binge Wobbledogs. I love this game, but it makes me cry.
You see… after spending a shameful amount of time in a horse breeding game I have learned a deeply uncomfortable truth about myself… I turn into a ruthless eugenicist the moment you let me play around with animal genetics in a game.
Last time I played this I experimented with genetics and cruelty by hatching a regular wobbledog and keeping it enclosed in a separate chamber where I fed it nothing but feces and scolded it regularly. When it reached maturity I bred it with a dog riddled with negative traits that were bound to make it be unhappy in life. I also made sure the feces of that dog was fed to it. Afterwards I kept the resulting baby wobbledog in the same room with the parent dog until the parent died, which I forced the baby to eat and then made the baby eat the wobbledog core to extend its lifespan and erase the identity of previous generations of wobbledog cruelty.
In time, I repeated the experiment and bred it with the aforementioned depressing dog until it became so severely inbred that the new wobbledog breed had begun to lose its legs, which were already thinned out by the process. Time kept marching forward and it got to the point where I had a nasty wormlike creature that subsisted off of puke, sh*t, and corpses from itself and its incest parent. It lays and cries every day, and cannot feed itself nor can it play or be happy. It was born to die and be forgotten.
This feels illegal.
10/10 would play again. :)

It's a genetics game about dogs that wobble. Which is the best possible kind of game.

I don't care that this game lags my PC so badly despite having everyone on the lowest setting. I will do anything for these dogs, they need me to feed them and mutate them then so I shall. I am nothing but a shepard in this herd of dogs, and they wobble in thanks to my guidance and protection. Wobble on, little dogs. Wobble on.

it's been 4 hours and i have not made a single dog who could do anything. one of them was a cheese wedge. couldn't walk or play, i had to feed him french fries by hand in a desperate attempt to lengthen his body, but he still was incapable of anything until he was fully grown. his name was John Wedgeman, and i'm very proud of him. if you are patient enough to care for the cheese wedge dogs and the paper thin dogs and the daddy longlegs dogs that you accidentally created by crossbreeding for too long because you wanted the wing mutation, then this is a great game for you!

I have a dog with no legs and six wings, this game is actually everything to me.

Amazing and very cute game. It's so silly! The most realistic element is that I can inbreed them until I get traits I find cute that degrade their quality of life.
