What the community wishes

We analysed the 13 most impactful community reviews and collected 20 ideas and suggestions on how the game could be better.
Add more achievements
Players enjoy the achievement system but suggest adding more achievements to provide additional goals and replayability.
Improve English translation quality
The English translation is rough around the edges, which can detract from the user experience. A more polished and accurate translation would improve accessibility and enjoyment for non-Chinese-speaking players.
Add desktop interaction features
Players suggest adding features where the pet can interact with the desktop, such as pulling up random objects or leaving items on the screen, to enhance immersion and engagement.
Fix Steam stop reporting bug
Steam incorrectly reports the game as still running after it has been closed. This bug should be fixed to avoid confusion and potential concerns about system performance or security.
Add nose boop animation
Players request a nose boop animation for the pet, as it would add a cute and interactive element to the game, enhancing the emotional connection with the virtual companion.
Improve tutorial for new players
Some players find it difficult to understand how to feed or interact with the pet. A more intuitive tutorial or in-game guide would help new players get started more easily.
Expand modding support
While modding is praised, players suggest expanding modding support to allow for more customization and functionality, such as integrating productivity tools or smart device control.
Add more English support
Players request more English support, including better translations and documentation, to make the game more accessible to a global audience.
Fix uninstallation persistence issue
Some players report that the game continues to prompt for reinstallation even after being uninstalled. This issue should be resolved to improve user experience.
Add more pet interaction options
Players enjoy the pet's interactions but suggest adding more options, such as additional animations or dialogue, to deepen the bond between the player and the pet.
Address minor bugs and glitches
Players note occasional small bugs or glitches that, while not game-breaking, detract from the overall experience. These should be addressed in future updates.
Add leaderboard customization options
Players suggest allowing more customization or filtering options for the leaderboard to make it more relevant and engaging for individual players.
Improve pet stat management
Some players find the early game grindy due to the need to manage the pet's stats. Balancing or streamlining stat management could improve the gameplay experience.
Add more diverse pet activities
Players suggest adding more diverse activities for the pet, such as unique jobs or hobbies, to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging over time.
Enhance pet personality traits
Players enjoy the pet's personality but suggest adding more traits or behaviors to make the pet feel more unique and lifelike.
Add more customization options
Players request more customization options for the pet, such as outfits, accessories, or environment decorations, to enhance personalization and creativity.
Improve pet AI responsiveness
Some players feel the pet's AI could be more responsive to player actions. Enhancing the AI to react more dynamically to interactions would improve immersion.
Optimize system resource usage
While the game is light on resources, players suggest further optimization to ensure smooth performance on lower-end systems.
Add more dialogue options
Players suggest expanding the dialogue system to include more varied and context-sensitive responses, making conversations with the pet more engaging.
Improve pet animation variety
Players request more diverse animations for the pet, such as unique movements or reactions, to make the pet feel more dynamic and alive.

Cutest vpet ever, I can't believe this software is free. The Workshop has lots of mods available. I will purchase VUP-Simulator whenever they release it. To set it in English: 1.Start game. 2.Right-click the character image,Then choose "系统“. 3.Open the "设置面板>图形". 4.Change the Language "NONE" to "en" Credits for the info on changing the language to @Plüschtiger from the Discussions section.

y'all know tamagotchi? yeah now make it for PC and not locked down from hardware limitations. this is that game. its a fun little background game that is great for when you are waiting for something or whatever. my only complaint is the english translation seems a little rough around the edges, but otherwise it runs fine, i haven't run into any glitches, and can easily recommend it. I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favourite chinese spyware on Steam. (for those of you genuinely worried: it's not. I believe they actually have a github repo of the game.)

    • I haven't encountered any glitches, and the game runs fine overall.
    • I can easily recommend this game despite the translation issues.
    • I joke about the game being Chinese spyware, but I believe it's safe and even has a GitHub repo.

Negative

While being able to exploit child labor is pretty amazing. One way that this game falls short on is by not allowing me to use the child to mine bitcoin. The children yearn for the mines as we all know and the fact that there is no option for this is a grave disappointment. Would not recommend for this reason. 9/10

    • I believe that children yearn for the mines, and the lack of this feature in the game is a grave disappointment, impacting my overall enjoyment.
    • Despite the disappointment, I still rate the game 9/10, indicating that I find it highly enjoyable overall despite its shortcomings.

Negative

Steam didn't report stop properly the first time I used it, probably an innocent bug, as apposed to something more serious. But its a bit concerning to me that steam say's it's not stopped, even when nothing appears in task manager.

Played this game for a minute and wasn't interested but I got 6 achievements, now no matter what I do to remove this from my profile (hiding the game, marking it as private, removing it from my profile) it still won't go away and is now nestled in between portal 2 and tf2. Great.
