That’s Dale!


Web GL Demo <- PLAY HERE

Play as my friend Dale, as he juggles the work-life-balance of being an animator and dedicated boyfriend. Hayley Tantau voices the role of Hayley Tantau, Dale’s partner. 

This game was made specifically for Dale (for his birthday) over the course of a week in September 2021. Art & Sound was done by Millie Holten.
