Dead Pets: A Punk Rock Slice of Life Sim

Gordy and her punk band, Dead Pets, haven't hit it big but they will any day now! Go to band practice, crush a diner shift, chat with friends and manage Gordy’s mess of a life. Unleash your inner demon in a feminist, slice-of-life, management-lite, minigame-heavy narrative rhythm 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
