What Ruff Day is

Ruff Day is an unreleased indie game in development at Badron Labs, currently scheduled for 10 December 2026. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only. It runs on Unreal Engine 5.

The premise, in the publisher's words

The bank is tired of losing money on your doggy daycare and wants its money back. They are upping your payments every week until you pay off your loan or else they're gonna repo your toys and tear the building down. It's crunch time for you and your coworkers! You never know what the day will bring but no matter what happens those dogs need to walk out your doors happier than when they came in. Every dog is different, some are chill and easy while others cause chaos or are divas that need special attention. Just like the dogs their owners can be crazy too with oddly specific requests that'll make you think "Why?"
