Welcome to IncuPets — a pet game where every new generation is shaped by genetics. Hatch your first IncuPet, care for it and discover the traits hidden in its DNA. Pair compatible pets and breed new generations, combining characteristics inherited from both parents. EVERY INCUPET IS DIFFERENT IncuPets are created from a genetics system that influences their appearance. Eyes, colours, markings, proportions and other characteristics can be inherited and combined across generations. Breed selectively and watch your family lines develop over time. Choose the traits you love and see where generations of breeding can take them. CARE FOR YOUR PETS Your IncuPets need attention. Feed them, play with them and spend time together while keeping an eye on their needs. BUILD A FAMILY Pair male and female IncuPets to create offspring. Children inherit characteristics from their parents, while genetic variation means every generation can bring something new. Explore your pets’ family tree and follow their lineage across generations. DISCOVER THEIR GENETICS Look beneath your IncuPet’s appearance and explore the genetics behind its traits. Dominant, recessive and hidden genes can influence what appears in future generations. CREATE PREMIUM PORTRAITS Turn a favourite IncuPet into a unique artistic Premium Portrait inspired by its individual appearance. Premium Portrait generation is available as an optional in-app purchase. YOUR INCUPETS, YOUR FAMILY Hatch them. Care for them. Breed them. Follow their family lines and discover what the next generation will become. IncuPets is designed around collecting, caring and genetics — with no two family histories needing to be the same.
