About the Game

Deskpet is a virtual pet that stays on your screen all the time, keeping you company while you use your computer. It's the classic pet experience, but without interrupting your workflow.

Care, Evolve, and Collect

Inspired by vintage virtual pets, your Deskpet requires simple care:

  • Feed and Play: Keep it happy with food, water, and fun.

  • Real Risk: If you forget about it, it might meet a tragic end!

  • Low Maintenance: It won't die if you close the application.

  • Multiple Evolutions: The way you care for your pet defines how it evolves. Discover how to get every creature in the encyclopedia!

Earn Coins

  • Auto Collect: Your pet collects coins on its own over time.

  • Upgrades: Use coins to unlock new items and evolutions.

Hassle-Free Multitasking

Deskpet was built to be a companion that doesn't hinder productivity.

  • Discrete: Takes up very little screen space.

  • Always Visible: Interact with it at any time.

  • Overlay Mode (Fullscreen): Enable this to let it move across the entire screen, but without covering or blocking your other apps.
