Starting the Game

When G. Pet opens, you will see the Title Screen. Here you can check the version number of your copy of G. Pet, and an alert will appear if your version is out of sync with the latest available version.

In the center of the screen, you can click a button to either Continue with your saved data, or Start a New Game and view a scene with Dr. G.

There is also a Gear icon button to open the Config submenu, where you can change screen resolution, mute sound effects, or erase save data.

Main Menu

The rows of buttons at the top and bottom of the main screen comprise the Main Menu.

• Some Main Menu buttons will take effect immediately, while others will open submenus of options, and the Touching & Music buttons toggle between two settings.
• Not every button in the Main Menu will be available at all times.
• The Alert icon appears in the top row alongside the Main Menu, but it is not a button.

Status

The Status button opens the Status submenu. Here you can view your G. Pet's name, Life Stage, and Stats. An Illness indicator will appear here when your G. Pet is ill. Click on your G. Pet's name to change it.

Cards

The Cards button begins a simple card game that you can play with your G. Pet. Choose one of the two facedown cards to play, or view the full game rules in another submenu.

• Find the white Life Card to win the game. Your G. Pet will get +1 Happiness.
• Find the black Death Card to lose the game. Your G. Pet will get -1 Happiness.

Touching

Click this button to toggle between Touching mode and Pushing mode. When you click on your G. Pet, you will either touch or push your pet, depending on this setting in the Main Menu.

Food

The Food button opens a submenu with three different dishes you can choose to feed your G. Pet. When your G. Pet eats, its Stomach stat will refill.

• Pizza +1 Stomach
• Burger +2 Stomach
• Bento +3 Stomach

Flush

Click the Flush button to remove your G. Pet's Poop. Leaving Poop laying around will be detrimental to your G. Pet's health.

Mating

Click the Mating button to begin the Mating process.

• Mating is only available to G. Pets who have reached the Adult Life Stage.
• Confirming Mating will result in the retirement of your Adult G. Pet and the arrival of a new Egg.

Music

Click the Music button to take out or put away the Boombox.

• The Boombox can play five different songs.
• Click the Boombox to skip between the five tracks, or stop it.

Graves

Click the Graves button to visit the Graveyard of G. Pets. There is no limit to the number of G. Pets that you can raise. When G. Pets die, they are memorialized in the Graveyard.

Life Cycle

There are five Life Stages that G. Pets pass through.

1. Egg
2. Baby
3. Child
4. Teen
5. Adult

It takes time for a G. Pet to Grow! Take good care of your G. Pet, and as the days pass, it will mature into adulthood. When your G. Pet Grows, it may change shape, growing longer limbs.

Digestion

Once per hour, your G. Pet will Digest.

• Young G. Pets with low Discipline will Poop when they Digest.
• The energy spent Digesting will be deducted from your G. Pet's stats. When Stomach is at 0, Happiness and Discipline Stats will be drained instead.
• If all Stats are at 0 and no Stat points can be Digested, your G. Pet will Die.
