Don't Pet The Alien! by JohnnyR
After discovering a bunch of cute little creatures on your farm, you find yourself in a terrible situation.
A glowing meteor has fallen into the farm's fields, bringing along an unknown terror, who seeks the blood of said creatures. However, this unseen terror has killed one of the creatures and taken its form, so you don't know which one of them is the evil one. Now it is up to you to take care of them and keep their hunter far away!
INFORMATION:
This project was an attempt to make a "Virtual Pet + Horror" game. The Horror part was not like we wanted it to be, but due to the time running out, we had to make some changes to the game's mechanics.
Some stuff was also not correctly implemented, such as the cleaning and sanity mechanics. Also, right now there's no way to identify the correct disguised alien... However, those will be addressed soon!
However, the game will be updated over its Itch.io page. So check the links below to stay tuned, as we'll have updates soon!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Tap the creatures to see their Hunger / Cleanliness / Sanity status. Clicking one of these will open a menu bar with some items that you can use to feed them.
You can also kill them, by using the knife. Do that in order to kill the correct disguised alien!

As for the stabbing thing, well... Yeah, we are aware of the bugs, and we'll update it as soon as possible to make everyone feel as less guilty as possible! Hahahaha
I recommend it if you want to kill fetishes, harmless and cutes creatures <3
@dovakla Thanks for the feedback! And yes, so far there's not much to do other than killing the pets and preventing them to starve.
Our initial plan was to give tips every night on who is the Alien. There would also be random events, in which the pets' sanity would be lowered, or some of them would even die. So you'd be worried every day/turn about having them all clean/fed and sane before the night came. And that's about it. We're planning on updating it soon, as there's many things that weren't implemented on time. Check our [Itch.io Page](https://johnnyr-san.itch.io/dont-pet-the-alien) to see the Devlog. Any updates will be posted there!
@linus Thank you! And yes, like I said before, we didn't have enough time to implement everything we wanted to, so basically we tried our best! Hahaha
@pietro-ferrantelli Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! :smile:
I also had some UI bugs on my device, the settings didn't seem to properly go away, they just hovered in front of the arrow keys haha
Good luck for future Ludum Dares!
