Pest Whisperer

Information
Pest Whisperer is a wholesome story-driven game about a pest control specialist in a quirky alien world.
Learn about the villagers’ lives, help them with their pest problems, and find new homes for the weird creatures - from mail-snails to veggie-haunting ghosts!
Beyond the light puzzle elements and exploring the peculiar world, the main focus is the various characters and the relationships the player builds with them by completing various pest-related jobs.
Peasy comes home to his old town after failing in the big city with his humane pest-controller business. His old house is in ruins, and he feels like a failure. He is greeted back home by his old friend Pofren, who is the postman in the town. He is friendly, sociable and outgoing, and he helps Peasy get back on his feet by pointing out people in town who might have pest problems of their own.
With his new business, Peasy will take care of the pests as much as their clients! He uses his straw-like snoot to inhale and exhale related ‘objects’ to fix the pest issue: sometimes this could be the pest itself, but it’s not always that easy: it could be something to lure the pest away, or something that interacts with it. It’s a simple mechanic to use to explore, talk to NPCs and solving puzzles.
We want to make a game that promotes kindness and consideration to all kinds of creatures, and nature in general – as well as to create relatable characters and stories that the player cares about.
