Forget the little paperclip guy from Microsoft Word, it's all about pet Chaos. I remember having little desktop pets on my PC when I was a kid, and they were the best things to procrastinate with when I was doing my schoolwork. As a huge fan of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, I would have loved to have a Chao running my taskbar, but would have probably got even less done!

✨CHAO DESKTOP PET IS NOW AVAILABLE!✨

This is a small desktop game that gives you a Chao that walks and does other activities around your taskbar!

💙Only Neutral Chao available for now💙

This little game from Itch.io lets Chaos mess around at the bottom of your screen and do little actions in your taskbar. You can interact with them, move and drag then, and have multiple little critters eating and playing while you work.

For now, there's only the blue Chao colour scheme available, and it only works on Windows. There are a few bugs that seem to disappear when you have more than one Chao on the screen (oh no, what a shame!).

Head to Itch.io to check it out for yourself!
