- Announcing Dead Pets Unleashed - 17 August 2022
We have some huge news: we're so excited to share our upcoming game with you all: Dead Pets Unleashed! 🤩🎉 Support us on Kickstarter and Play the demo on Steam! About the Game: Struggling punk rock band, Dead Pets, are still looking for their breakthrough after almost 10 years.

- 1.22 Patch - 2 March 2022
This update fixes a problem with save files and achievements that were introduced in the last patch. The last patch introduced a bug where save files were being saved to and read from a wrong location. This meant that users who played before the patch, couldn't load their saves. This has now been fixed, and your saves should be back. In case you've played the game while between the last patch and this patch, the two saves will be merged together, picking the file from each save, that is the furthest along. Sorry to everyone who experienced the bug. If you have any problems or need further assistance, feel free to contact us on our Discord server or mail [email protected] Hope you have fun! (Thanks to Jeanette and Bigfoot for reporting the problem)
- 1.21 Patch - 16 February 2022
This patch fixes a couple of issues introduced in the latest release. Fixed: Problem where some sprites in mini games were invisible. Missing audio on videos. Have fun! 😁 (Thanks Cristina!)
