Murong Yi's Celestial Pet Zone
Bright, cheerful and set in a Xianxia world filled with lush backdrops and soothing background music, Murong Yi's Celestial Pet Zone is a free and easy-to-play virtual pet simulation game. A player can adopt up to three different eggs, hatch them and raise the animals until adulthood.
The characters and pets are lovingly hand-drawn and cycles can be continued on loop until the player chooses to quit. You can forage for herbs and potions along the way too!
Be careful though, some of these little creatures can be pretty fussy!
Look after these little rascals and see what they transform into! Have fun and stay bright always! ✨
Created with the Ren'py Visual Novel engine for Virtual Pet Jam 2022.
As the secondary theme is "in the Zone", players can only adopt a pet from the main pet zone.

Super nice game with an adorable art style, but maybe consider adding more pets, and more items beyond just the grass and the potions? I really enjoyed this though. :D
Thank you! Glad you liked it! I'll look into it when I have some time~
short and cute. love it!
Aww, thank you darling~~
Aww this was a cute short pet simulator, I love the cute artstyle and how different each of the little pets are, I also like how we see a cute familiar face~ Great job with this one!!
Aww thank you! I like to call it a good use of stock images, hehehehehe!
A short and sweet xianxia-themed pet sim that focuses on showcasing a simple concept with bright atmosphere and relaxing game play.
I finished the game in around 15 minutes or so, and after successfully raising all three celestial pats happily I went the opposite route and ignored/fed the pets food they didn't like. Murong Yi ended up taking me pet away from me for being a bad parent (lol).
If the game were expanded, I'd want to see more complex mechanics and less repetition. It would be cool if there was a storyline too with characters involved (and talking pets!!).
The serpent is my favorite ^^
Oooh thank you for your comment!! I'm glad you like it and noted in regards of expansion! Definitely need to make some things different for each pet. They should definitely talk too, like a parrot! Parrots are so cute!!
