Play as a Dog Agent in This Funny and Charming Stealth Platformer

BARKOUR is a fast-paced stealth-action platformer from indie developer VARSAV Game Studios, putting you in the paws of a special agent who also happens to be a dog.

The game is a spy comedy following the story of a canine character on a mission to defeat the villains and save the world. As Agent T.H.U.N.D.E.R., the game's protagonist and a very good boy, you fight enemies by skillfully combining stealth, barkour – a parkour for dogs, and gadgets to complete your missions. You also have a secret weapon: a bark, which can be used to distract or alert enemies at just the right moment.

BARKOUR lets you play however you want, sneaking through shadows, going in guns blazing, or bouncing across rooftops. And if you just want to mess around with the emote system, nobody's stopping you.

The developers have been sharing sneak peeks and updates on the development process – for example, how lighting changes the scene:

The game even has a stick library:

The game's release is scheduled for 2026.
