Benoit Bark!

Benoit Bark! is a game created by Simon Ames and Hayden Sohn in 48 hours for the 2026 Global Game Jam. It was designed to be played with the OVR Omara device which was provided to us during the jam and allowed us to trigger different scents during gameplay. 

When the background image changes, that is when a related scent would be played.

In Benoit Bark! you play as both a dog and a detective, switching between them as needed to smell as the dog or talk to people as the detective, trying to solve the case of the dog's missing owner.

Controls:

• WASD to move
• SPACE  to open doors and interact (smell if playing as the dog)
• Click-and-drag to move the camera
• TAB to swap perspectives
