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.

Adore every aspect about this game! Love the story, the story telling, and the character development. Main mini games are: Diner Dash, Rock band/Guitar Hero which are my favs. All the songs are absolute bangers too.

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

I'm so incredibly happy this game came out! I've had it on my Steam wish list since 2023ish. I've finished the first episode and already looking forward to playing more.
