Details

Overview

Crawling Desktop Pet is a casual creature-raising game from developer and publisher AnKer that places a small lifeform directly on your Windows desktop. Rather than running in a full-screen window, the pet follows your cursor, crawls freely across the screen, and reacts to toys and its surroundings. When you would rather focus, it can simply stay by your side while you work, study, browse, or relax.

Highlights

The core loop starts with an egg: tap the shell to hatch your first companion, then feed and care for it as it grows and evolves.
Your pet produces Crystals, which can be spent on food, upgrades, scenes, toys, and additional companions.
Hatch different pet eggs, raise multiple companions, and switch between them as your collection grows.

Who It's For

This one suits players who like low-pressure, ambient games that sit alongside their daily routine rather than demanding full attention. Fans of incremental progression and desktop utilities should feel at home, and the relaxed pace makes it easy to check in for a few minutes or leave running in the background. It supports single-player as well as multi-player and online co-op categories, and the interface is localized into English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Latin American Spanish.
