Description

Gordy and her punk band, Dead Pets, haven’t hit it big, but they will any day now! Go to band practice, crush a diner shift, chat with friends, and manage Gordy’s mess of a life. Unleash your inner demon in a feminist, slice-of-life, management-lite, minigame-heavy narrative rhythm game!


Features

  • Killer Soundtrack: Dead Pets features an original punk rock EP performed during the game.
  • Play As the Band: Embrace scorching riffs as you shred your way through rhythm-game heaven featuring crossover tracks from other Akupara favorites like Cryptmaster, Airframe Ultra, Cabernet, and many more in Jukebox Mode!
  • Manage Your Choices: Every choice affects Gordy’s wellbeing, the band’s power, her social points, or costs her money.
  • A Demon City Filled With Life: New Void City is filled with NPCs to befriend, with their own storylines.
  • Minigames for Days: Including working a shift at a diner (diner dash), watering your plant Satan, and making hot dogs.
  • Success is in Your Hands: It’s up to you to hold the band together or let it crumble, one member at a time
  • Cartoonish Inspirations: For fans of Bojack Horseman and Tuca and Bertie. We were inspired by their colorful, surreal worlds, long-term and complicated adult friends, and zany, offbeat humor.
