About the Game

This game is still in development: kind of a puzzle-platform-climb-story-adventure where your cartridge 'pets' glitches out from pet pee. You control a "debug" npc and all the NPCS are sentient

You find a retro console at a thrift store One of the games “Pets” falls victim to a pee attack and suffers severe damage (this wouldn’t have happened had you paid attention to your real pet instead of your virtual ones in the petting zoo). Play as a character in the glitching game. Speed-run or explore every nook-and-cranny. Gain achievements and pet skins


(more story/cutscenes still being implemented, expect updates to all content)

Link to the Discord can be found in the game, under the credits section
