Livlings is a virtual-pet and home-building game where you care for an animal companion, shape their personality, and build a house that grows around them. It is quiet, personal, and designed to be returned to every day. There is no rush โ just a little life unfolding at its own pace. โข Choose from ten animal companions, each with their own name and character: Max the squirrel, Mia the corgi, Toby the raccoon, Luna the owl, Kai the fox, Ruby the cat, Finn the capybara, Zoe the otter, Leo the lion cub, and Ava the hedgehog. โข Care for everyday needs โ feeding, rest, play, washing, and relaxing together โ with routines that continue naturally over time, whether you are there or not. โข Furnish every room with purpose. Beds, sofas, showers, bookshelves, and games each unlock activities and give your Livling favourite spots around the house. โข A better bed makes sleep more restorative. A favourite chair becomes the place they go to unwind. Furniture shapes daily life, not just the look of a room. โข Arrange your home freely โ move between homes, place multiple copies of any furniture type, and build spaces that feel genuinely lived-in rather than staged. โข Your Livling's personality develops through play, so the companion you end up with reflects the time you have spent together. What sets Livlings apart is the way the home and the animal grow together. Most pet games treat the living space as a backdrop. Here, what you build changes how your Livling spends their time, where they feel comfortable, and what they look forward to. A house furnished with care becomes a place that feels like theirs. A little life is growing. Come and see what it becomes.
