A dog daycare. Your friends. One mop.
Kennel Chaos is a co-op dog daycare simulator where you are the staff, not the manager. No hiring screen, no spreadsheet — you are the one holding the scoop. Bring up to seven friends, split the jobs, and watch the plan survive roughly ten minutes.

It goes badly.
What is Kennel Chaos?
Ch.01 — OpenThe dogs are the challenge
Twenty-one breeds, and every one of them has a habit. The Escape Artist is testing every gate right now, and she will find the one you forgot. The Sneaky Pooper waits until you are facing the other way. Zoomies does not care what is in the way, including you. You learn them by name, because that is the only way to stay ahead of them.
You can carry one thing
A dog, or a tool. Never both. Tools live on the racks you bought and put somewhere, so “somewhere” turns out to be a decision you think about a lot — usually while jogging back across the building holding a wriggling beagle.
Small problems compound
A fresh poop takes two seconds to scoop. Ignore it and somebody walks through it, and now there are paw prints down the corridor. Ignore those and they dry, and dried needs a scrub. That is how a nice afternoon becomes a Code Brown.
Build the place, then pay for it
Start with an empty building and a small pile of money. Buy runs, tubs, grooming tables, food prep and play equipment. Paint the walls, hang wallpaper, put a clock up. Then open the doors and find out which of your decisions were stupid — takings in, upkeep out, stars up or down depending on whether every dog got what its care card promised.

Wishlist Kennel Chaos
One click, no cost, and it is the single most useful thing you can do for a small studio. Steam remembers, tells you the day the doors open, and wishlist numbers are what decide whether anyone else ever sees the game.

Meet the troublemakers
Ch.03 — DogsEvery dog arrives with a care card and at least one habit that ruins your afternoon. A few you will learn to dread:
The Escape Artist
Quietly testing every gate, right now. She will find the one you forgot to latch, and then so will everybody else.
The Sneaky Pooper
Waits until you are facing the other way, then picks a corner you will not think to check for another ten minutes.
The Shaker
Perfectly calm in the tub. Waits until she is out, standing right next to you, and then returns the entire bath to the floor.
Zoomies
Full speed, no brakes, no interest in what is in the way. Including you. Including the food bowls you just filled.
Rolls In It
Has already found the mess you were walking over to clean, and is currently wearing it. That is a bath now.
The Poop Eater
Solves the mess problem in the worst way available, then trots off to say hello to a customer.

Kennel Chaos FAQ
Ch.05 — AskWhen does Kennel Chaos release?
Kennel Chaos is targeting Q1 2027 on Steam, which is the window shown on its Steam page. Wishlist it and Steam emails you the day it goes live.
Is Kennel Chaos multiplayer?
Yes — 1 to 8 player online co-op. Bring friends, split the jobs between you, and find out how quickly a plan falls apart when eleven dogs disagree with it.
Can I play Kennel Chaos solo?
Yes. Solo is a real way to play, not an afterthought, and the workload scales to how many of you there are. Co-op amplifies the chaos rather than being required to find it.
How many dog breeds are in Kennel Chaos?
Twenty-one, and the breed is not just a skin. Each one carries traits that genuinely change your day: escape artists that test every gate, shakers that empty the bath onto the floor, and one that eats what the others leave behind.
Is there a Kennel Chaos demo?
Not yet. Wishlisting the Steam page is the easiest way to catch a demo the moment one opens, because Steam notifies wishlisters first.
What platforms is Kennel Chaos on?
PC, via Steam. No other platforms are announced yet — the Discord is the best place to ask about them.
How much will Kennel Chaos cost?
The price has not been announced yet. Wishlisting means Steam tells you at launch, including any launch discount.
What kind of game is Kennel Chaos?
A first-person co-op job simulator with a management layer. If you like the cascading panic of a co-op kitchen game, the satisfaction of cleaning something properly, or a business sim where you personally do the work instead of assigning it, Kennel Chaos sits in that space — with dogs.
Who makes Kennel Chaos?
Watashi Games, the indie studio behind Jank Yard, Damashi Game and My Suika. Kennel Chaos is in development now and the Steam page is live for wishlists.
Somebody has to hold the scoop
Kennel Chaos arrives on Steam in Q1 2027. Wishlisting is the single most useful thing you can do for a small studio — it decides how many players ever see the game.
