CLUSTER CARE-GAME-PET · 8 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2016-11-23

Virtual pet simulation games

This cluster comprises virtual pet care simulation games where players adopt, feed, train, dress, and play with puppies in 3D or town environments. The dated history shows a sparse, steady trickle of entries from December 2011 to December 2023, with single entries appearing at irregular yearly intervals, indicating a niche but persistent category. Traction leaders include Animal Jam, Dog Town: Pet & Animal Games, and DogWorld - My Puppy, though all three currently show zero stars on the activity signal.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
