Pawtential Disaster, both created and published by Indie company Yummy Games, is a comedic, dog centered find-our-way-“home” story with an extra addition, a child in a baby carriage via its trailer description. The Trailer’s description also informs viewers that it’ll be on Steam in the last months of the year, so expect to presumably see more trailers as the end of the year draws near. With looney graphics and a hilarious trip, the trailer sets the pace for what players can expect in the upcoming game.
The Trailer opens with two blue and yellow dogs with wobbly legs, big ears and big cartoonish eyes and a little tot with equally cartoonish eyes in a permanently unimpressed expression nearby in his wheeled baby carriage. The two dogs are wearing jackets which have ropes connected to the baby carriage, they stand next to the baby, and next to a weird contraption releasing giant balls, rolling downhill. Through dialogue, the trailer makes it clear that players inhabit the dogs in a third person viewpoint. In the next scene, the dogs race down the hill with the baby in tow as they try to avoid the very same balls. They move on to a fishing landscape where a fishing person watches the dogs jump around quite recklessly considering the child they’re dragging.
They encounter a panicking streamer, ripped penguins holding weights, sharks, and suffer a hit from the same streamer that almost sends all three off a cliff. The trio end up on a raft, with the dogs sailing, pushing wood, and falling off a waterfall. With all these shenanigans, all three are trying their best to make it to safety and not die in the process. It’s a very hard process as it seems they’re in one threatening situation after another, for example, almost falling into acid, falling into the arctic and so on. They end up in a penguin-only night club, walking away from what’s likely bigfoot, pushing a sheep and trying to drop a bomb only for all three to be thrown in the air. Bigfoot kidnaps Junior and his carriage, and throws the trio into the sky, the dogs take a potty break, and do more crazy stunts before getting punted into the air by the aforementioned penguins.
