Hardy must complete a series of steps, each of the five steps worth ten points, making a score of 50 possible, in order to get the sandwich from the human owner. Taking place within just a few rooms of living space, the interactor must position themselves from a dog's perspective in order to successfully complete the game.

Development
editChoba is an interactive fiction writer who has completed other interactive fiction works as well, coming in the form of "Stink or Swim" (2009)[2] and "History Repeating" (2005),[3] during which she collaborated with Mark Choba.
Reception
editReviewers explained "What makes the game so charming is the way Choba (the author) exploits the fact that Hardy (the dog-PC) has a set of concepts that doesn't quite match the human player's. For that purpose, a dozen words are worth a thousand perfect 3D-renderings."[4]
Awards and honors
editIn 2008, Choba and Hardy were awarded the Best Individual PC award at the XYZZY Awards Ceremony,[5] and Snack Time! was named 6th best interactive fiction work at the 14th Annual Interactive Fiction Competition[6] in 2008.
