Ayo awakens one night to a deafening crash, but not from the storm that roars outside his bedroom window. No… it seems it came from within the room. He stumbles in a stupor to his dog Bo’s bed and finds a mess. The flower pot has been knocked over and the wall is decorated in muddy paw-prints. But Bo is nowhere to be found. Devastated and confused, Ayo charges into the storm to find his favorite canine juggling partner.(Storyline via IGDB)
