About Desktop Pet Project

Tired of doing your daily chores?
Think you need to break up the gray, lonely days at your computer?
Do you want to be interrupted for fun?


Desktop Pet Project is designed to do just that.


Inspired by such a wonderful invention as Shimeji, Desktop Pet Project has tried to collect the most interesting and curious mechanics.
  • You can summon up to four pets that will have slight personalities in behavior.
  • You can give them names.
  • Several cats of several colors are available by default.
  • You can also import your favorite Shimeji by going through Shimeji Import Manager (downloadable shimeji, not browser extension) and customize your pet's behavior in a certain way.
  • Support Steam Workshop, which will allow you get the community-created pets.
  • Don't forget to feed your pets.
  • You can play several mini-games with your pets.
  • Pets need sleep, so it is not recommended to interrupt their sleep.
  • Pets don't like to be dragged around the screen, who would like that? But with the help of a treat you can peacefully move the pet to another place.
  • If you treat them poorly, pets will surely remind you how important it is to treat them well (you can turn it off, but it is not recommended).
  • They sometimes will play with some mouses on screen (you can disable this, but then it would be less fun).
  • A pet creation manager for creative individuals that allows you to fine-tune the interaction and each sprite. Once created, you can easy upload to Steam Workshop.

When your an youtuber and have background recording on, this game SUCKS. You record manually? Directs instantly to DPP. YOU NEED THOSE RECORDINGS FOR CONTENT AND MEMORIES! it's only fun for like 2 days while your figuring stuff out then it gets boring.

this is so good. i like making shimejis for fun and this is SUCH a cute app. the cat brings me joy. I don't think it lets me add customs from my folders either. It does not let me Continue past the Select File menu. I might just be bad at this tho. anyway. really cool. i like the features lots. i am glad its being made. i am happy. i like when he wiggles. he is so playful. this is the first review i am leaving simply because i am experiencing so much joy.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

Games like It Takes Two, where the second player is the point

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.
