User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
The game is a super fun desktop companion. A tall virtual house sits right on the screen, filled with adorable little creatures. The pixel graphics look really charming. Cute pets wander across the taskbar, adding a really nice touch to the display. As a casual idle experience, the game runs perfectly in the background. Collecting new digital friends feels very rewarding. The creature collector mechanics are simple and relaxing. The whole gameplay loop stays totally stress free. Watching virtual pets on the monitor pairs perfectly with hanging out with real cats at home.
DO NOT listen to the negative reviews unless its something you specifically wouldnt like about the game. Most of them are just a bunch of whining babies and ive never seen so many bad takes on game before its really astonishing. First "its boring but i know its an idle game" its actually not boring and one of the more involved and interesting idle games ive seen in a while. Idle games are probably just not ur thing if u think its boring and in that case move on. "It takes so long" again its an idle game but also ive played this game for a week and in the first couple days I had almost all the rooms and most of the characters so I dont really know how bad ur attention span is if thats too long for you. One of my positives is that its not just an idle game theres more too it. IF U WANT. as in. ITS A CHOICE. "I considered getting a spread sheet for the breeding" there is one in the game. That shows u what breeds u have or dont have. Complaining there is game in ur game is actually crazy to me. If u dont want to breed and just want it to be a fun idle game u really dont have to. Im not glazing this game but it is fun and cute and the negative reviews are just so weird to me youll have fun if u like cute animals and gatchas!
Absolutely love this game, super obsessed and I adore all the cute graphics and little pets!! Had a blast so far playing this and collecting nearly all the original pets, now I've been breeding a bunch of super cool variants It is very nice that you can let this game run a lot in the background and let it collect stuff for you, which is nice if you can't give it full attention while doing other things Probably my favorite idle desktop game besides Bongo cat, incredibly fun, love the claw machine too, very fun to play It's also very nice with the little soothing ambiances you can play, it's a nice touch, and some are very calming I do really appreciate that there are many ways to earn money as well very easily as you progress, makes it pretty easy to actually buy houses and all the tokens I need for the blueprints, which I thought were crazy prices at first until I realized you just gotta put some time in lol Overall, very much enjoyed my time with this game, and plan to possibly 100% it at one point!
