Our take on Pet Chan
Its defining format is a movable desktop character: mouse controls let users position and resize the character directly on the computer desktop.
What is Pet Chan?
Pet Chan is a desktop character that can be placed anywhere on the computer desktop.
Characters have 6 animated poses and 3 clothing options. They can be moved and resized, with a free-transform function also available. Drag a character with the left mouse button; the right mouse button opens a function menu. Pet Chan is presented as a desktop pendant, rather than a game with levels or objectives.
