Have you ever been to the dog opera before? Well, you simply *must* go! If you haven’t, David Kanaga has you covered. Co-creator of *Proteus* (2013) and *Panoramical* (2015)*,* Kanaga will be showing off the *Oik OS Book* during the Fantastic Arcade from September 26-29th in Austin TX. According to the information provided by the [Fantastic Arcade website](http://fantasticfest.com/news/entry/fantastic-arcade-second-wave-titles-unleashed?ref=killscreen.com), Kanaga’s game “is a dog opera computer game for Mac OS and Windows. It is the first book of a planned series about getting the household in order.”

The Fantastic Arcade curates a selection of independent games from upcoming game makers and designers that offer something different and interesting. The event treats games as a medium akin to independent films—so an interactive dog opera won’t be barking up the wrong tree. But what exactly is a dog opera? [Kanaga’s website](http://davidkanaga.com/oik%5Fos/?ref=killscreen.com) for the project offers a few glimpses: upon entering the site, a wave of sporadic-sounding notes flood the room. Illustrations of dogs and a slow moving GIF featuring what I can only assume is screenshots from the opera are featured as well.

If the cryptic website above is a little too confusing, there’s a video on the Fantastic Arcade website. It’s a serene, minute-long video with a goat and a rabbit perched on the edge of a cliff, enjoying the sunset and gazing across a body of water. The background music is silly but fits the tone. There is a lack of [good boys](https://www.killscreen.com/every-creature-no-mans-sky-dog/) in this preview but one thing is for sure: the *Oik OS Boo*k will be an interesting display of four-legged friends.
