Animals to befriend

Find their favourite food, earn their trust and ride off – or take them into battle. Every one of them has its own nature.

Meet the animals

A place of your own

Sow, water and harvest on the village fields. Your very own farm waits in the Homesteads – build a house there board by board, with windows, a bed and lanterns.

Farm and build

Adventure with friends

Classic MMO controls, quests, loot in four colours and Fenris, the white alpha wolf, waiting in his den deep in Whisperwood.

To arms
Animals

Feed them. Win them over. Ride off.

Horses, donkeys, cows and alpacas live wild in the vale. Bring them their favourite food until they trust you – then they are yours for good.

  • Two companions, a whole farm full of animalsTwo animals come along wherever you go – call one to your side, it fights with you, gets hungry and thirsty and wants to be looked after. All the others live on your farm for everyone to see.
  • Animal journalEvery species you meet goes into your journal. About one in 25 grows up as a rare colour – and stays rare once tamed.
  • A bond that growsFeeding, riding and fighting side by side make your animal faster, stronger and less hungry.

Farming

Water in the bucket, carrots in the bag

Farmer Gerold lends you a bucket and a handful of seeds. Fetch water at the well, look after your field – and when it rains, the vale waters it for you.

  • Carrots, wheat and lettuceEach one grows in a few minutes per stage – as long as it gets water every time.
  • Well and bucketOne bucket waters a field or quenches your horse's thirst.
  • Food for your animalsWhat you grow is exactly what horses, cows and alpacas love.
Building

Every home starts with a single board

Everyone gets a farm of their own in the Homesteads, just south of the village. Your animals live there – and with H you start building.

  • Floors, walls, stairs, roofsTimber framing or stone, doors and windows, several storeys high.
  • Furniture and lightBeds, tables and lanterns that glow at night.
  • A house you can walk intoWalls fade away when you step inside, and your friends can come and visit.

A living vale

A day lasts forty minutes

Golden mornings, red evenings, starry nights in which the lanterns of the village light up. Rain rolls in for everyone at the same moment – and waters every growing field along the way.

Unzip and start Petaria.exe. If SmartScreen warns you, click More info → Run anyway – the game is not code-signed.

Unpack it into a folder you can write to (not Program Files) and keep Petaria.pck next to the program, so updates work.
