Fantasy Pet Shop

FANTASY PET SHOP

Would you like to experience an immersive, fully interactive game in which you can become a magician that is surrounded by all sorts of magical beasts? Well... All we can offer you is sucking animals' souls and toxic workplace relationships.

Fantasy Pet Shop is a 1st Person Shop-keeping Puzzle game, playable on Windows PC and in VR on Oculus Quest 2. You only have to look after the Owner's Fantasy Pet Shop for 10 minutes. It's The Great Plague, people are desperate for animal company and it's your job to get it to them. Deliver cards filled with the souls of animal through a pneumatic tube to fulfill the orders. The Shop Owner only has 3 rules:

1. Don't touch the animals
2. Don't make a mess.
3. Don't turn on that machine

I'm sure you can follow all 3 of those, right?

This project was created as part of a second year university brief at the University of South Wales, in association with Tiny Rebel Games. BA Computer Games Design and BA Game Art students were given the module brief... "When is a Card Game NOT a Card Game?". Teams were asked to make an 8 to 10 minute experience.

This module has been recognised for it's excellence with a Grads in Games 2022 Award for Collaborative Initiative.
