“Old Friends Dog Game” Debuts; New Free-to-Play Mobile Experience Benefits Hundreds of Real-World Senior Rescue Animals, Proves Love Never Grows Old
Award-winning games studio known for its progressive mobile experiences inspired by nature, Runaway Play, today released its latest feel-good title for iOS and Android devices. “Old Friends Dog Game” is a narrative-driven, free-to-play adventure inspired by the rescue stories, everyday antics and personality quirks of the real-life furry residents of Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary (OFSDS).
“We set out to create something meaningful to bring happiness, hope and comfort during difficult times,” said Zoe Hobson, CEO at Runaway Play. “At its core, ‘Old Friends’ is a game about friendship, for people who love dogs.”
“Old Friends” transforms the famed canine retirement home based in Mt. Juliet, Tenn. into a fun and highly interactive game. Players name and design their own sanctuary, build bonds with each dog that joins their pack and take on tasks to ensure their happiness.
“Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary has millions of highly engaged fans across the globe, many of which tune into their social channels daily to catch up on the furry residents’ latest adventures,” continued Hobson. “Accurately capturing the essence of what makes the sanctuary, its dogs and supportive community so special is paramount for success.”
