Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We're launching Desktop Gremlins in Early Access because we want to grow the game alongside our community. The core experience is already fun and fully playable — 5 characters, an evolution system, pranks, and Steam Workshop support. But we have much more planned: new characters, new mischief behaviors, achievements, and features shaped by player feedback. If people enjoy having a little gremlin on their desktop, we'll keep building.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to stay in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. The timeline depends on community feedback and how many new characters and features we're able to add. Once we feel the content is complete and stable, we'll move to full release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to expand the roster with more unique characters, each with their own animations and personality. We're also looking to add achievements, more prank behaviors, seasonal events, and deeper pet interaction mechanics. The full version will feel like a complete, polished experience compared to Early Access.

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable from day one. It includes 4 characters with unique animations, an EXP and evolution system, a needs system, speech bubbles in 4 languages, music and app reactions, prank behaviors, and Steam Workshop support for custom sprite packs. The experience is stable and bug-free for everyday use.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to raise the price when we leave Early Access and add more content. Early Access buyers get the best price and all future updates for free.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to actively gather feedback through Steam discussions and community hub. Players can vote on new characters, suggest prank behaviors, and upload custom sprite packs to the Workshop. Community input will directly shape what gets added next.”

About This Game

Meet your new desktop companion — a mischievous creature who lives on your screen, reacts to everything you do, and refuses to be ignored.

Desktop Gremlins is a transparent, always-on-top desktop pet that evolves as you play. Feed her, pet her, watch her grow from a tiny slime into a full-blown dark sorceress — or face the consequences of neglect.

🌱 Evolve Your Pet
Start as a simple Slime and evolve through 4 unique characters with their own animations, voices, and personalities. Every interaction earns EXP.

😈 Chaos Mode
Tired of your other apps? Turn on Bother Mode and let her shake windows, shuffle your desktop icons, spin your browser around, and flash your taskbar. She will be noticed.

🎵 Music & App Reactions
She dances when she hears music. She perks up when you open Steam, Discord, VS Code, or Photoshop. She has opinions.

💬 Speaks Her Mind
Hundreds of phrases across 4 languages (EN / UA / RU / JP). She's hungry, she's happy, she's furious — you'll know.
