Genepet
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Genepet is a virtual pet game about genetically engineered pets. Each pet is generated with a unique personality and preferences. Through spending time with your pet, you will learn who they are: what kinds of food they like, what forms of play they enjoy, how comfortable they are in social situations, whether they're a cuddly sort or prefer their personal space, and many other things. This information will help you to give them the best possible care and make them happy.
At the beginning of the game, your pet is an embryo in an incubation tank, and all you need to worry about is setting their diet and responding to an occasional event. As your pet grows older, you will have to manage a growing set of responsibilities including scheduling playtime, training them in life skills, and responding to a wide variety of events that can occur in your pet's life. Effectively managing all of these things will require you to become thoroughly familiar with your pet's unique personality and needs.

Love the game, I'm always a fan of games where you can customize your own creature, power, etc. and the simple style is nice too!
However, is there a way to make it full screen on Windows? It's not unplayable without it, but it's a little annoying. Or at least a way to make it not bordered or smaller?
Thanks for the comment! I'm afraid there's no way to change the window size, sorry.
It’s alright, thanks for answering!
For bugfix~ adult genepet asked me about "the origin of species" if I'm not wrong. They were worried about being created instead of born.
In "The Differences", instead of their name it says [Petnname]
I assume the extra n tripped the value!
Also, she finally left. I would like the loads to also show me their stats when they left! XD
I don't know if I'll add any significant features to this project (as opposed to bugfixes), as I'm eager to move on to other things, but if I do revisit this, I'll consider adding that!
I understand!
Just felt like pointing it. It's a fun game, even if it went from raising a pet to raising a kid XD
Thanks for catching that! I've uploaded a hotfix.
i ADORE your game ! The concept is original,very sciency and in depth mechanics ..i hope you keep developing it this way because so far its truly fascinating ! ..i mean ,you just published and its already my favorite here <3
Thank you! However, I'm afraid to tell you that this is currently planned to be the final release, aside from bugfixes or balance tweaks.
