About the Game

Your job is simple: find loving homes for unusual animals.

That includes zombie cats, vampire mosquitoes, emotional support demon dogs, and other beings that technically count as pets.

Accept these animals into your shelter, review adoption applications, screen the applicants, and decide who gets approved, rejected, or reported. Every decision affects your money, reputation, safety, and the fate of the creatures in your care.

Match The Right Pet To The Right Owner

Every adopter has their preferences, secrets, or hidden agenda.

A perfect match can bring glowing reviews and huge tips.

A bad match can lead to returns, fines, hauntings, or worse.

Features

  • Review strange animals with paranormal traits, habits, and hidden risks.

  • Inspect adopter applications and decide who is suitable.

  • Follow adoption licensing rules, district policies, and special case files.

  • Approve, reject, report, or investigate suspicious applicants.

  • Balance money, reputation, animal welfare, and public trust.

  • Deal with consequences: returns, complaints, and supernatural incidents.

  • Unlock new animals, rules, rooms, tools, and shelter upgrades.

  • Experience dark comedy, weird cases, and branching outcomes based on your choices.

Every Adoption Is A Judgment Call

Do you give the lonely vampire a nocturnal therapy dog?

Can the adopter neighbours handle a cat that goes through walls at 3 AM?

Should anyone be allowed to adopt something labelled “probably a dog”?

And there are cages you really should not open after midnight.
