About this game
What do your pets get up to when you're not home? Petwhile lets you find out.
Petwhile is a cozy pixel art pet game where your cats and dogs carry on without you. While you're away they nap, groom, chase each other from room to room and stare out the window. Peek in on the pet cams any time to see what they're up to, from a nap in a strange spot to a bird on the sill or a stray wandering through the yard.
When you come home, they notice. They run over to say hello, someone may have left you a gift, and a short report tells you what you missed. Who hid somewhere very good. Who napped nose to tail. Who knocked something over.
Over time you adopt more cats and dogs, each with a personality you discover as you bond. Dress them in hats, collars and scarves. Move from a city apartment to a cabin, a house and an old barn. Befriend the strays who visit the yard until they ask to move in. Play with your pets from the cameras with gadgets like the Bubble Puffer and the Treat Dropper, and keep a Scrapbook of every first.
Petwhile is made to be played a few minutes a day for months. There are no streaks to lose and no guilt. Miss a day and your pets are just happy to see you.
