A retro virtual monster-catching RPG with Steam Inventory items!

Available Now on Steam

Your Quest Starts Here.

Welcome to Critter Quest! Bring back the golden era of handheld monster-taming RPGs, completely wrapped in a customizable virtual-pet-styled handheld interface.

Your team is backed by the Steam Inventory. Every Grublet, Embercub, or Mythical beast you capture is granted as a real Steam item — build your dream team, store them in Steam Cloud, and trade with friends across the platform.

Key Features

Catch Them All

Discover and capture up to 300 unique species from Common bugs to Mythical dragons. Use Wet Berries and Ultra Berries to boost capture rates.

Steam Inventory Integration

Captured critters, their IVs, and exact levels sync to your Steam Inventory. Trade your rarest catches with the global community.

Classic Turn-Based Combat

Master 18 elemental types including Steel, Fairy, and Dark. Exploit weaknesses, manage move PP, and overcome status conditions.

A Massive World

Journey through forests, volcanic ridges, and oceans. Complete quests, battle route NPCs, and conquer 8 Chapter Bosses to reach the Elite Hall of Masters.

Evolution Crafting

Combine duplicate catches on your reserve bench to evolve them into powerful next-stage forms.

Virtual Handheld + Auto-Battle

Play in a nostalgic on-screen retro shell with swappable device skins. Toggle Auto Mode to grind EXP and catch new team members while you step away.
