Mr. Lupine

cheesy hunger

It all seems harmless enough, right? You are in a room with a table with a box on it, and inside the box is a creature. His name is Mr. Lupin, and all this animal wants is lots of cheese. You step into the shoes of a girl named Suzie, and only you can find Mr. You can get the cheese Lupine needs.

Of course, you are not obligated to do anything. You can leave. But the longer you wait, the longer you have to think. Thoughts creep in about why you are here, who Mr. Lupin is, and why this cheese is around. It may seem simple, but it's not at all.

Pookie Pet

light in the dark

Ah, your portable screen now has a little pixel pet. They are so cute and happy to meet you, so you should give them the care they deserve. You can take it to different rooms and interact with it to give it comfort. Feed your Pooky Pet and make sure it gets enough rest to keep it happy.

The problem is that there is only so much you can do… darkness is inevitable. Your little pet is trapped in a world that is slowly being absorbed by a haunting force. It is distorting everything, and neither you nor your pets are powerless to stop it. How long will we fight the inevitable?

Beat Buddy

digital dependence

Of all the virtual pet games, this one may have passed your way a few times. This isn't surprising since it's made by the same developer as the infamous Pony Island, and BitBuddy feels the same way. It feels like everything seems fine, but the longer you stay, the more cracks start to appear.

You will be given a pet that will talk, interact, and have fun with you. The distractions come whenever you want to step away. Because closing the game means death for your friend. There's no way to keep the game running, so you'll eventually have to back out when your friends beg you to stay.

cooked into existence

It’s not as basic as putting a bag in a machine and watching it pop out… Oh wait a minute. Welcome to Creature Packet.

Kinito PET

Secret Binary Friend

In the early days of computers, we did our best to understand how computers worked and even created little characters to help us. KinitoPET is featured here because it is a desktop assistant from an old-fashioned era. Once launched, Kinito moves around the screen and performs a variety of tasks, from navigating apps to playing games.

It seems like a harmless virtual friend, but something seems wrong. Kinito seems to want more than you're expecting, and maybe you're not ready to provide it. The real risk is whether you think Kinito will give you a choice.

Babette

another kind of cat

This takes place in the bedroom, where Babette happily receives all your attention. But the more time you give Babette, the more you realize how greedy she is and she will soon be unhappy with your behavior. Be prepared, because she will find a way to bring her reality into yours.

target out

keychain escape

The beauty of Tamagotchi is that we are always the one looking in. We are their caretakers and they depend on us. But what if it's more complicated than that? In Tama-Get-Out, the script is flipped and we see what Tamagotchi is going through.

Living in one of these devices, this virtual pet is confined to a minimal amount of space, unable to do much on its own, and entirely dependent on a giant observer for its survival. We can't continue like this. They must find a way to escape, and you must either help them or watch them meet their end.
