Stay: Your Forever Pet! looks like quite the cozy PC game for those wanting to unwind and relax, it is curious that the first game by this team was a VR game in the same series, this one is going to be more traditional since it won’t include VR support. I always say that VR is an overly pushed product that tries to capitalize in a niche market, always at the brink of becoming irrelevant. This is due to many reasons but the two most prominent ones are the fact that people don’t really have money to buy a VR headset that looks clunky and feels odd, and the second one is motion sickness.
Stay: Your Forever Pet! coming in Q2
For those who have been wanting to try out something new, Stay: Your Forever Pet! provides us with some colorful furry characters and an interesting world to explore alongside it. This game is clearly cozy as it tries to take advantage of the current boom of cozy games to unwind and relax in these trying times. Ember is our companion, and she will be highly customizable in any way we like, this magical dog will take us across an unforgettable journey in the Otherlands. We need to take care of her and explore the world alongside her too.
There’s a ton of emphasis in customization and stress free gameplay, while you have to take care of your new magical pet it does not seem like there is any real stakes behind it unlike a Tamagotchi. I would love to see more games that bring some stakes to the table but unwinding with some cozy decorations and interactions with such a colorful creature like Ember also sounds nice. If you are interested in Stay: Your Forever Pet! you should take the initiative and wishlist this new project.
