Released

Li CongDiscovered Oct 9, 2026

About the game

KeyPet is a Windows pixel desktop companion. Characters live on your screen and react as you type. The free base game now includes Keystroke Dojo and Everyday Lives: unlock Xingan with 1,000 Move; Ayuan is an optional character DLC. You can also idle in pairs.

Original Steam description

KeyPet uses local keyboard input events only to trigger desktop character animations. It does not record, store, transmit, or analyze the text you type.

KeyPet is a pixel-art desktop companion game for Windows. Your characters stay on your desktop, react to your typing, and give small animated responses while you work, write, or browse.

Current features include:

Beastopia: Build a little street corner as you type

  • Meet Ling Xiaoye, a snow leopard teen with asymmetrical overalls and a long tail, ready to keep you company while you work or study. Unlock him in the gallery for 10,000 Move. No additional DLC purchase is required.

  • Two idle animations and two typing actions bring life to everyday keystrokes. Deploy Ling Xiaoye and gradually build his resting spot as you type, watching the street corner take shape. Construction progress is saved locally so you can continue next time.

  • Everyday Lives: unlock Xingan with 1,000 Move; Ayuan is an optional single-character DLC (sold separately; does not include Xingan)

  • Own both Xingan and Ayuan to select their sibling pair

  • Pixel characters that live on your desktop

  • Typing-driven action feedback

  • Character unlocks and a gallery

  • Two-character idle pairing

  • Tray controls and basic window behavior

During Early Access, KeyPet will continue improving character behavior, performance, interaction feedback, and future content. Player feedback will help shape pacing, unlocks, and long-term desktop comfort.

Privacy note: KeyPet listens for local keyboard input events to trigger character animations. It does not record, store, or upload the text you type.
