Nekopara Alternate Universe Visual Novel ‘Inupara: Dog’s Paradise’ Coming West

At Anime Expo 2022, publisher Sekai Project announced that they will be localizing the NEKO WORKs-developed Inupara: Dog’s Paradise at a currently unknown release date.

Inupara: Dog’s Paradise was initially an April Fool’s joke as an alternate universe version of Nekopara, featuring dog girls instead of catgirls. However, it was later confirmed to be a real project in development.

The following synopsis is available for Inupara: Dog’s Paradise:

Transported to another world?!  Our protagonist is sent to a world with humanoid dogs!

He’s a young man that’s attending college while working part-time as a pet groomer. Although he lives by himself, he has two dogs—a Pomeranian named Tanpopo and a Shiba named Himawari. One day, Tanpopo and Himawari randomly turned into humanoid girls.

The dogs from his sister’s and his parents’ place come to live with him as well, which causes him to panic. As he freaks out, a girl with the same name as the Corgi he kept at his parents’ house in his childhood, Botan, starts to talk about things only he and Botan would know, which ends up slowly convincing him.

As expected of someone who works part time as a pet groomer, his brushing skills are top notch.  He’s skilled enough to even cut hair if he wanted. However, since he doesn’t have the qualifications, he only gives cuts to the dogs at his home.
He’s always had his older sister, a master coddler, trying to smother him since childhood, so he has the skills to deal with girls and dogs with slightly difficult personalities.

Additionally, profiles for each of the dog girls were shared, all viewable below:
