Fear not, dog lovers. While plenty of games force you to do combat with canines, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will spare you the trauma of having to take down Spot in a hail of gunfire. Developer MachineGames has a clever workaround that means you’ll never have to harm a dog in its upcoming adventure game that’s both humane and in character.
"Indiana Jones is a dog person," creative director Jens Andersson told IGN, explaining MachineGames decision to make Indiana Jones and the Great Circle pooch-friendly. That fact is established in the films the game is based on, where it’s revealed that Indy went as far as naming himself after a beloved family dog. Because of that, it only makes sense that you won’t be mowing down dogs in the game the way you casually do, in so many others.
