Where is My Pet? leads.

Just dropped

Twelve demos dropped yesterday, nearly all self-published, with exploration and strategy the two tags doing the heavy lifting. Only one demo in the batch already carries reviews, so today's early movers stand out simply for having any signal at all, while the fresh arrivals earn their spot on craft and an odd genre mix rarely seen together.

HERO PICK

Where is My Pet?

Why it leads: the most complete, serious store page of the 12 demos that dropped yesterday, with a genre mix you don't see often.

A shelter-management sim where you sort and rehome animals while building out a shabby operation into something resembling a business, part hidden-object puzzle, part cozy tycoon.

Catching on

Demos that launched in the last few days and are already getting noticed. From the moment a demo goes live we watch two things - the reviews players leave on the demo itself, and how many people are playing it right now. These are the ones where early players clearly like what they tried.
