Alien Pet

An un-finished game made for Holmesglen Game Jam 2026 — Theme: “Lights Out”

Made in 2 days by Luke Pham, Riley van Heeswyk & Jay Webb around the theme "Lights Out". It was intended that when the lights were out, you were trying to escape from the overly protective alien who has kidnapped you as her pet. Unfortunately there was a lot of gameplay that wasn't finished but a good amount of other stuff got done. Here's the result.

STORY:

You were just minding your own business… and then you were abducted.

In Alien Pet, a well-meaning (and slightly overwhelming) alien has decided you are now her“Snookums.” The details are unclear, but what is clear is that she is very committed to your wellbeing.

Escape from your kennel while your overly affectionate caretaker keeps coming back to check on you, scold you gently, and insist you stay safe when the lights go out. She means well… probably.

But as the lights go out, her idea of “keeping you safe” starts to feel a little… intense.

Hide, explore, and try not to get lovingly smothered by an alien who just wants the best for her new favourite pet.
