I can't wait to the complete version
Very cute game, looking forward to the full version.
Sadie is a young woman standing at one of life's early crossroads - namely, figuring out what to do with the rest of it. Ambivalent about her career aspirations and her romantic options, she is a soul adrift in a sea of uncertainty. But hey, at least she has her dogs for emotional support, quirky as they are. If only they were people...
Well, sometimes wishes come true. And sometimes that's worse than you imagined.
Paws & Effect: My Dogs Are Human! is a quirky-comedy visual novel that is brimming with the kind of obsessive love that only pets inspire! Play as Sadie (name customizable), an aspiring young lawyer whose life hurls headfirst into chaos when her two dogs (names also customizable) suddenly transform into people! Guide Sadie through this harrowing ordeal, but beware: Mysterious figures lurk in the shadows, monitoring your every decision! 
What will Sadie teach the dogs about being human? What will she learn about the realities of canine existence? And who is behind all of these shenanigans? Across a 3-5 hour romp, discover the answers to these questions, and maybe a few others that you had hoped to avoid... 
Paws & Effect is complete and available for purchase on either Windows or Mac (if you would like to purchase a browser version, please see our Itch.io page: https://shimmersoft.itch.io/paws-effect). The game features professionally drawn backgrounds and art, hundreds of voice clips across seven major characters, loads of expressions, cute animations, adult humor, pop culture references, and meaningful choices that reverberate throughout the experience! To enhance replay value, we've also implemented a robust Episode and Choice Select system so that you can customize your subsequent playthroughs. And top it all off, we're giving 20% of all proceeds to the ASPCA to help pets less fortunate than the spoiled demons who inspired this project. Have fun and feel good at the same time!
