1st Anniversary Update! New translations, QOL updates, and more!

Hello! It's the first anniversary of a pet shop after dark so I have a special first anniversary update for you...



  • New Basque, European Spanish and Traditional Chinese translations, along with revisions to previous translations
  • QOL updates like you can now knock on a door many times to proceed through a certain section faster (though you can still wait like previously), changing it so that you can only input numbers into the telephone, and other puzzle revisions
  • Better Steam Deck support (*However, please note that because of the way the game plays Steam Deck is not really recommended!)
  • A couple of silly extras because thats what anniversaries are for right? (Check OPTIONS)

For a bit of a personal story, I actually quit my job to become a full-time indie game dev starting this April, and a big part of why I could do that was because of this game This game is made just by me and the composer who wrote the music, along with the translators who helped make it possible for more people to play in different languages. (Sometimes I get emails addressed to your company or the npckc team but literally its just me in my living room making games on a laptop that overheats playing videos)

So I just wanted to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to everyone whos played this game - its changed the course of my life and its just been really exciting for me seeing so many people enjoy it across the world just playing on their own or with friends or streaming to share with others!

In short...

THANK YOU FOR PLAYING...

a pet shop after dark livestream

a pet shop after dark is a horror point-and-click adventure game where you've taken on an odd job at a little pet shop. The owner tells you the job is easy - all you have to do is water the plants, feed the pets, and stay the night.

There's just one thing - do NOT, under any circumstances, turn off the lights.



For Steam Next Fest I'll be streaming gameplay from the demo! This is the second livestream during the fest for people who couldn't catch the first one.

The story in the demo is exclusive to the demo so don't miss it

Check out the demo on the store page & wishlist!
