Pet games are a genre of simulation games that focus on the care, training, and interaction with virtual pets, allowing players to adopt, nurture, and develop relationships with their digital companions. These games can range from casual mobile apps like Pet Rescue Saga and Neko Atsume, where players engage in simple tasks and mini-games, to more complex simulations like The Sims, where players can customize pet breeds, train them, and participate in various activities. Pet games often emphasize nurturing mechanics, such as feeding, grooming, and playing, and may include social features that allow players to interact with friends’ pets or compete in pet-related challenges. The genre appeals to animal lovers of all ages, providing a fun and engaging way to experience the joys of pet ownership without the responsibilities of real-life pets.
