Game developer Triple Topping (Welcome to Elk) has unveiled its upcoming game, Dead Pets Unleashed, for PC and Mac platforms. Dead Pets Unleashed is a punk rock story about a band making one last effort to get big or grow up. Triple Topping has just launched a Kickstarter for Dead Pets Unleashed and a playable demo is available on Steam. Those wanting to follow and support the game’s progress can register on Kickstarter. Dead Pet’s Unleashed will also have a playable demo at the Indie Arena Booth at Gamescom (August 24-28).

Dead Pets Unleashed follows the punk rock band Dead Pets, who have been in the music scene for a decade. Set in the world of Ether, Gordy and the band live in New Void City. An entirely new world, the planet is inhabited by different species of demons.

Players will decide if Gordy, the band’s lead singer, will follow her big plans to get the band’s big break or decide to put away childish things after turning 30. While the game does deal with some heavy topics, Dead Pets Unleashed will run players through several fun slice-of-life mini games, let them listen to a real punk rock EP played live during the game, and engage in Gordy’s daily schedule to determine the future of the band.

Inspired by cartoons Bojack Horseman and Tuca and Bertie’s colorful, surreal worlds, complicated adult friendships, and zany, offbeat humor. At its core, Dead Pets Unleashed is a game about friendship. The band have all been friends for a very long time, and the game explores how to manage old friendships that are taking different paths.

Being about a band, music is incredibly important to the game. However the punk rock music of the game isn’t too heavy, and is intended to be enjoyed by everyone with other music genres also intertwined in the game. You can listen to Dead Pet’s full single featured in the trailer, I Own My Smile. Inspired by female-fronted punk bands like Bikini Kill and Bratmobile, I Own My Smile is Gordy’s ode to catcallers.
