Odd game. Mostly very good, and may please beast fans greatly. Bestiality is a very specific niche, and MBF specifies further by focusing solely on canines (not that I was looking for anything else, but y'know, some guy's out there slamming his fist into his desk right now screaming, "But what about the HORSES!").
PRO- GRAPHICS & CONTENT:
The renders are nice, and get better as you progress. For a V0.03, there's a mountain of content in this, and I'm not using that word lightly, so I'll say it again for emphasis. Given how early this is in the development cycle, there is already a mountain of content in this game. There are multiple erotic scenes with all three main heroines, including one route that already goes from the beginning stages of 'tee-hee, the dog's sniffing my crotch', through the uncertain stage of 'but I can't blow Rex, he's my dog!' all the way to deep-dick knotting several times. There are also sex scenes with various neighbors, family friends, a jogger, the vet, a burglar, yoga-girls and several dream sequences with even MORE girls (and a celebrity guest appearance).
There's doggie bj's, hand-jammies, clam-licking, rim-jobs, cummy-sucking, human-on-dog makeouts, dog-on-human foreplay, dry-humping, dog/human hybrid pregancy, anal-knotting, vaginal-knotting and an all-out doggie neighborhood watch gangbang complete with coercion-by-threat-of-violence and eventual enthusiastic acceptance. THIS IS A V0.03.FOR CHRIST'S SAKE, LIGHT OF MY LIFE, CAN WE AT LEAST GET A FATHER/DAUGHTER HANDJOB NOW?!
MEH- STORY:
Ahem... It's not even wall-to-wall sex. Many of these scenes have a decent amount of sexual tension and build-up. There's a kind-of, sort-of, maybe coherent storyline running through the game, but it's pretty just in service to the girl/dog scenes. This isn't the Citizen Kane of blowing the family dog games, but you'll at least understand 90% of what's happening.
CONS- ILLICIT THRILLS AND GAME DESIGN:
Personally, I don't really feel like the game relishes the taboo nature of its fetish enough. Certainly, every female human realizes their considering having sex with a dog, and most experience at least a brief amount of hesitation before-hand, and there's a fair use of the word 'bitch', which is nice in this context. But the taboo just doesn't feel sharp or lived-in for me in their dialogue or thoughts. For comparison, in incest it's the difference between "I'm fucking my dad," and "I'm fucking the dick that made me." One is far more taboo than the other, and Man's Best Friend sticks firmly on the safer path. Expecting realism in taboo from a game where the dogs have actual dialogue, however, might be my problem, not the dev's.
Also, be forewarned, there really isn't much choice here. No narrative branching yet. You'll mostly just follow various threads to their conclusions, like side-quests and main missions in an RPG. There are a couple of choices early on, but these stop pretty quickly as the narrative settles into gear.
Which brings me to the last reason for why this isn't a five-star yet in my book. A good chunk of the game starts off as a visual novel (again, with only a couple choices), and the VN style goes on long enough that it's genuinely shocking when the game sets you loose in the dreaded sandbox style. Thankfully, there's a checklist screen, which tells you what (or who) Rex wants to do next, and will either hint at or outright tell you which room or area you need to go to next in order to progress the story. It's not that big of a deal, but the whole VN-to-Sandbox change feels a little cheap, like it wasn't planned out beforehand but switched to mid-devolpment. However, this might change when all is said and done, as that initial VN section might just wind up feeling like a long prologue if the game's length keeps expanding like it seems to.
CONCLUSION:
Bestial entertainment for discerning degenerates; have dog will swallow. Many, many pretty girls get the doggy d, the game's renders are swell and the only thing I'm left to nitpick about is some of the design choices and that I don't think it's dirty enough for what it is.
So far, thumbs up. Please neuter your pets before they impregnate your wives and daughters.
