I just finished the game! Loved it! So happy that this game came out. Truely captures the chaos and passion of being in a band! I was happily surprised by how much narrative content there is. Loved being given choices but also some times you just go into debt with out a choice and that feels realistic. The Rhythem game is a lot of fun I kinda wish there was an option for more buttons to press on harder modes but I

Description

- Killer Soundtrack: Dead Pets features a punk rock EP performed during the game.
- Minigames for Days: Including working a shift at a diner (diner dash), rhythm games, and making hot dogs.
- A Demon City Filled With Life: New Void City is filled with NPCs to befriend, with their own storylines.
- Success is in Your Hands: There will be multiple endings - with the success of the band determined by your choices throughout the game.
- Cartoonish Inspirations: For fans of Bojack Horseman and Tuca and Bertie. We were inspired by their colorful, surreal worlds, long-term and complicated adult friends, and zany, offbeat humor.
- Manage Your Choices: Every choice affects Gordy's wellbeing, the band's power, her social points, or costs money.
- Play As the Band: Embrace scorching riffs as you shred your way through rhythm-game heaven featuring crossover tracks from other Akupara favorites like Cryptmaster, Airframe Ultra, Star Viking, and many more in Jukebox Mode.
About the Game
Gordy and her punk band, Dead Pets, have been playing together for… a while, and have never made it big. Heading into their 30s, their personal responsibilities and the band's uncertain future is looming over them. Do they have what it takes to give Dead Pets one last shot at success?
Dead Pets is a feminist, management-lite, minigame-heavy, slice-of-life, narrative game; about music, friendship, and maturing. Playing as Gordy, you’ll go to band practice, manage Gordy’s finances, her wellbeing, and try to find enough time and money to cover... well, everything. Gordy's life is a mess. Decide where Gordy’s priorities lie to shape the future of the band. With different endings, you'll have the chance to help Gordy grow in a ton of different ways.
Long-term friendships can be messy, especially when everyone grows up at their own pace. Can you stop a job, a relationship or a lifestyle from hurting the band?On top of everything else, the band's first taste of success comes at the cost of Gordy’s mental health and physical wellbeing. Just how much is she willing to sacrifice for fame? Or for justice?
From the creators of Welcome to Elk, dive into the demon world of New Void City, and give your childhood dreams one last chance.It’s time to get loud, grow up, and rock out.Recommended system requirements

This game is a true gem, and very relatable to us aging punks out there. Other than trying to make it as musicians, there is no big quest in this game. Just a story that brings up everyday issues in life we have all dealt with at some point - and thats what makes it so great. There are different choices to be made, and each choice will affect Gordys mental health, what other people think and the band. And if your
Somewhere between Bojack Horseman and Rockstar ate my Hamster. Really fun artstyle and minigames wrapped up in a punk story set in hell. A fun few hours and doesnt outstay it's welcome at all. Really hope more people can be exposed to this and give it the credit it deserves
