How does your entry adhere to the theme "virtual pet"?
It is about trying to figure out how to take care of a strange creature so it won't escape

One of the coolest games i've played this jam, love that weird doggo.
Everything about this is fantastic, even though I'm really bad at it! I LOVE all the animations, holy crap they're amazing.
What a game, love it!
Really nice pixel art, and also very good animations. I like a lot the overall idea, nice game!
An absolute treat. The art is, of course, beautiful. I loved the writing! Both the overall narrative and the hints, which were pretty fun. I lost on day 30 once
Really fun! I loved the art, the animation, the sound, the concept, the puzzle aspect to it, the only thing i'd like would be volume sliders, but that's a real minor nitpick. Overall a fantastic entry.
This is clever! I like the framing of virtual pet as mystery lifeform/puzzle.
I got to day 24 on my first go just doing random things, but I never got back there again, and I am not even sure I figured out how to make the dang thing eat lol. Great game tho!
Very interesting game! I included it in my Virtual Pet Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out. :)
This guy just doesn't understand great art! I played him Beethoven the whole time but he kept escaping
Ok managed to get to day 12! It's quite hard to guess what the lil guy needs but I wouldn't want to spoil the mystery with obvious hints. If you can come up with a way to give subtle hints that might help - I was thinking like you can read research notes or something that hint at the observed behaviours? Anyway great job love the animations :D
The "cause of breach" messages are intended to be little hints as to what specifically you did wrong, but some are more vague than others (and sometimes the reason it escapes isn't necessarily the biggest thing you did wrong, just the straw that broke the camel's back)
