About the Game
Build a home. Attract pets. Grow your world.
Galactic Getaway is a wholesome life sim inspired by games like Viva Piñata. Settle into your own peaceful pocket of space and build a home that attracts adorable creatures. Every crop you grow, every decoration you craft, and every detail you put into your home determines who might arrive and who might choose to stay.
🪴 Carve your very own slice of life in the stars
Your world begins with just the basics — trees, soil and sky. Create your character, choose your style and begin shaping a home that feels like your own.
🛠️ Gather resources, craft furniture and decorate your cozy new home
Everything you place changes how your world feels. Some creatures are drawn to calm. Others love color and clutter. Grow glowing vegetables, gather rare resources and craft furniture and decorations to bring your vision to life.
🐾 Attract adorable little creatures
As your world evolves, new creatures will begin to appear. Each one has its own preferences and personality. Some will visit briefly. Others might settle in if the conditions feel right. Keep changing and experimenting to learn what makes them stay.
🎯 Relax with light-hearted minigames
Between farming and decorating, take time to unwind with a selection of wholesome mini-games. From pastel tank battles to spaceball and fashion shows, they’re a fun way to earn rewards and enjoy the sillier side of your getaway
🧑🤝🧑 Play Solo or With Friends
Invite your friends to visit, decorate, and collect pets together. Trade decorations, team up to attract rare creatures, or just relax while your planets come to life.
👕 Customize Your Character
Design a cozy explorer that feels like you. Choose your hairstyle, outfit, and color palette Whether you're going full pastel space-elf or rugged galactic gardener, your vibe helps shape the world around you.

New
- Pet Station - Befriending your creatures will now make them residents of your planet instead of just being put away in storage. Residents will roam your planet and interact with one another. The Pet Station is where you can manage what pets you want to keep around. The storage is still there to keep any pets that overflow the station. Upgrades to the station size will be coming in a future update.
- Feeding - Feed your pets to increase the new PetPak level. There are no longer star levels for each PetPak but a level 1-100 for each slot on your pet. Without revealing too much, I can say that PetPaks now work on a whole new system. This means recipes have changed for PetPaks and so you will have to discover them all over again. Each pet whether befriended or hatched will have different comptabilities with different PetPaks. Feeding items and PetPaks will now show up in the indicator when you get close to pets.
- Eggs! - Get your pets to romance and lay an egg! Hatch the egg to get a pet that inherits traits from its parents. Certain pet colors can only be obtained through romancing!
- Pet Naming - You can now name your pets! Pet names can be a maximum of 12 characters.
- The Tutorial - The entire beginning of the game has changed to focus more on pets and the idea that building on your planet will attract more.
- Rain - There is a chance that you will get rain periodically. Rain will automatically water all of your crops.
- Virtual Keyboard - A custom virtual keyboard to help with all the issues we have been having with the Steam Deck. Official verified steam dec
Changes
- One True Grid - all of the items in the game now work on the same grid (buildings, crops, furniture, etc.) This will allow you to put machines in your home. Also this includes better position snapping for fences.
- Pet Visit Conditions - There are many more pet visit conditions than just planting crops. I'll leave these for you to figure out!
- Pets have animations for chopping down trees, smashing meteors, and sitting.
- Crops - The grow time for crops has been fixed so they no longer grow instantly. Crops will also now grow even while you're away from your planet. You will still need to water each growth stage.
- The minimap now shows you a live view so it's always up to date.
Bug Fixes
- Fashion Show - The camera will no longer turn black and you should be able to play the game normally.
