Little Soul Companion is a cozy 2D virtual pet game developed in Godot 4, inspired by the training mechanics of Digimon World Championship (Nintendo DS). The art direction is heavily inspired by the playful, imperfect look of childhood drawings, aiming to capture their honesty and imagination.
The game invites players to care for, customize, and play with their unique pet in a richly interactive world.
With a top-down 2D perspective and a warm, hand-drawn art style (resembling a child’s drawing), the game features over 1,000 item variations, fully customizable pet.
Players can interact with their pet by cleaning,petting, feeding and picking up
Without forgetting playing minigames like card-matching, endless jumping, or 2048 to earn in-game currency.
A day/night cycle and month-based weather system bring the world to life (using a gradient texture according to the actual hour of the day).
Over time, players unlock achievements called "The Truth", gradually revealing the lore and origins of the game's world.
