Hang out with a talking dog
Talking Ben is a free kids' game by Outfit7 Limited, the same publisher who created the popular games My Talking Tom and My Talking Angela. This simulator game lets players interact with Ben, a talking dog. Players can press different buttons to get various hilarious reactions from Ben. You can even talk to him and record your funny conversation.
Ben is a retired chemistry professor enjoying a peaceful life. He may seem a bit grumpy, but he hides a cheerful personality that you have to discover in the game. Players have to interact with Ben and his surroundings.
Catch Ben’s attention to speak to him
In Talking Ben, Ben is focused on reading his newspaper, so you need to get his attention and have him put it aside. To do that, you have to employ all sorts of tricks. Poke his newspaper and he will put it away and be available for a conversation. Ben can hear you through the microphone and will repeat everything you say in a funny voice. You can record your interactions with Ben and share them with your friends.
There are plenty of ways you can interact with Ben aside from talking. You can poke various parts of his body such as his face, belly, feet, and hands. Each poke will elicit a different reaction. The game also has buttons to make Ben eat, drink, or belch. Try swiping Ben’s graduation picture to see how he reacts. Ben is a bit rude or grumpy, but there is a place where he’s always in a good mood.
Make experiments in the chem lab
Tapping on the game’s chemistry button brings you and Ben to a chemistry lab. Being a chemistry professor, this is one of Ben’s favorite places. The chem lab has test tubes filled with chemicals of different colors. You can have Ben mix two of them at a time in his flask and create an interesting reaction. The chemical reaction can be an explosion, a tornado, or even a carnivorous plant.
Talking Ben is an old game, yet it continues to receive updates. Unlike other virtual pet games, the game’s focus is on players’ interactions with Ben instead of taking care of him. Ben’s design is adorable and holds up well graphically despite the application’s age, but his personality and reactions can feel eerie sometimes. Most interactions with the game are available for free, but those who want more can purchase them in the application’s store.
Somewhat eerie but still enjoyable
For newcomers to Outfit7’s series of “Talking” games, Ben’s look and personality can feel somewhat eerie. However, those who try the application will most likely find a lot of fun interacting with the talking dog. Ben’s reactions range from adorable to hilarious and the game is pretty creative in how players can interact with him. Ultimately, Talking Ben is a game for kids, but adults can enjoy it too.
