About the Game 

Players in Pet Universe can build and manage their very own animal shelter in a cozy 3D world. The game lets them care for adorable animals and customize the grounds and buildings of their shelter to reflect their personal style.

Core features include a modular building system, deep animal care mechanics, and a donation-based economy. Every animal has its own backstory and unique needs, creating emotional bonds and providing varied gameplay. Animals can be cared for, treated and finally given a new, loving home.

Explore the world with your 3D player character, construct and design new buildings, and watch your shelter grow and thrive. In the enclosures, you can pet your furry companions and give them treats to strengthen your bond.
