Meet Ember, Your Pet and New Best Friend

Take care of a furry friend in Stay: Your Forever Pet! In this cozy simulation game, explore a whimsical world, collecting resources and earning goods to accessorize your pet. Your Ember will bring magic and mischief into your space and take you on an adventure in a fantastical land. Believable behaviors and animation make Ember the world’s most spontaneous and vividly alive virtual pet ever made.

A Day with Ember

Every day with Ember follows a rhythm. You start by giving her what she wants to start the day, getting her ready for what's ahead. You can spend your downtime together, then set out on an expedition into the Shimmershift to recover her magic and just maybe, find her pack. Back home, you celebrate the day's finds, care for her, and wind down before it all begins again.

Low-Stress Gameplay

Play at your pace. You and your Ember work as a team to hunt for resources, banish thorny weeds, and explore the mysterious Shimmershift.

Craft Your Look

Use the resources you forage every day to trade for treats, toys, pet clothes, decorations, and more. There are dozens of toys and clothes to choose from -- 70 at launch -- find an outfit that suits your Ember’s unique look and personality.

Expeditions to the Shimmershift

Beyond your home lies hers: the Shimmershift, a strange wilderness where Ember's curiosity can run ahead of her caution. Embark on expeditions together: thorn-walled blockades that her magic can clear, sudden dangers to shelter her from, Mosslings to chase off, and quiet moments of wonder along the way. Ember can't do it alone. You read what she needs, call her back when she strays, steady her nerve, and decide together which path to take, spending her energy wisely so you both reach the end. Expeditions are the heart of Stay's adventure, and the system we'll keep deepening all through Early Access: new lands, new challenges, and new ways to face them, side by side.
