Every step you take in the real world becomes Pep, the energy your little pixel pet needs to explore. Walk more, adventure more. RAISE YOUR PET Hatch a tiny companion and level it up from your daily walks. Feed it, play with it, teach it new battle moves, and watch it evolve. EXPLORE A COZY WORLD Follow stepping-stone trails through moonlit meadows and beyond. Every stone can hide treasure, a friendly surprise, or a wild monster. BATTLE CUTE MONSTERS Turn-based fights against slimes, sprouts, and stranger things. Win XP and loot, but watch your HP: bold adventurers nap off their bruises. REBUILD THE VILLAGE Meet ten villagers with their own stories, wishlists, and shops. Bring them what they need to rebuild their homes and bring the square back to life. MAKE A HOME Plant a garden, decorate your cottage, and sell your adventure loot at the Trading Shop. WALK EVERY DAY Daily quests and a step tracker turn your routine into rewards. Your steps are counted on your device and never uploaded. PepQuest is free
