About the game

Dejinochi is a tiny virtual pet that lives right on your desktop. Feed it, care for it, and see what it grows into. Eventually, you'll have to say goodbye as it heads out into the world, but old friends come back to visit.

Original Steam description

Dejinochi is a tiny virtual pet that lives on your desktop.

Hatch an egg, feed your pet, play minigames, clean up after them, and give them medicine when they're sick. They'll keep you company while you work, study, or do whatever else you're doing on your computer.

Every Dejinochi grows up differently depending on how you look after them. Some need a little more attention than others, and you never quite know who you'll end up with.

Eventually, your pet will grow up and move out. You'll have a record of them in your album, and sometimes they might even come back to visit. Then you can hatch another egg and start all over again.

As you play, you'll discover new species, unlock shells, collect stickers, and gradually fill up your album.

Dejinochi is meant to fit around your day. Your pet will get on with their own little life while you're busy, so you can check in whenever you have a moment.
