About Can Your Pet

“Can Your Pet?” is a darkly humorous and deceptively cute pet simulation game developed by Korean indie developer GameAde. Initially, the game presents itself as a typical pet care game where players can feed, wash, and play with a cute yellow chick. Players can also customize their pet by giving it a name and decorating it with various accessories. The game’s interface is simple and user-friendly, making it easy to interact with the pet through various mini-games​​.

The twist in “Can Your Pet?” comes when players unlock the exercise option. Instead of a fun activity, the exercise involves placing the chick on a bike that ultimately leads to a shocking and gruesome outcome—the chick is processed into a can of pet food. This unexpected and abrupt turn transforms the game’s light-hearted tone into a dark joke, making it a memorable and controversial experience among players​.

The game’s notoriety increased significantly after popular YouTuber PewDiePie featured it in a Let’s Play video, which garnered millions of views and reactions. This exposure led to the development of a mobile version called “Can Your Pet: Returns,” which includes additional endings and more content. Despite its shocking content, “Can Your Pet?” remains a unique and widely discussed game due to its surprising twist and satirical commentary on pet care simulation games.
