WonderPaws is a cozy multiplayer life sim set in Paw City, a bright metropolis where anthropomorphic animals, called Paw Pals, run shops, chase stardom, and build careers. You arrive as a human newcomer and shape your own routine: decorate a downtown apartment, take on jobs around town, join social events, and, if you like, drink a potion to become a pampered animal yourself.
Quick answer: WonderPaws has no release date yet, but you can wishlist it on Steam and complete pre-registration on the official site to be notified when it launches.
Paw City: an animal-built metropolis
Paw City serves as the game’s open urban setting, with neon signs, soaring skyscrapers, and billboards that change their ads. Animal residents keep the streets lively as they handle daily routines, including a scooter rider along the coastal road and shoppers moving past places such as the Bops iced lemonade stand and the Paw & Glee cafe. On the main stage, idol group Paw-Paw Chorus performs while the crowd’s cheers rise to your balcony.
The city grows and changes as you build your life in it. Festivals, concerts, and celebrations happen throughout, and the reveal closes on the full cast dancing together as fireworks burst over the skyline.
What you can do in WonderPaws
Everyday life in Paw City runs on small jobs and hobbies. Each one plays as a short activity with its own interface, from mixing drinks to reeling in a catch on the pier.
| Activity | What you do |
|---|---|
| Drink crafting | Assemble boba and smoothie cups with ice, syrups, and toppings for customers |
| Delivery | Ride a scooter, following a street distance marker, to hand off packaged orders |
| Gardening | Plant seeds and harvest crops from rooftop planter beds |
| Cooking | Pick ingredients from a recipe menu and prepare dishes on the stove |
| Fishing | Fish from the wooden seaside pier |
Your apartment is fully customizable through a grid-based interior design mode. You can place ceiling fixtures, wall decor, furniture, and plumbing, then invite friends over. Photo mode lets characters strike poses at the boardwalk or on lit night streets.
Multiplayer and social events
WonderPaws is a multiplayer game, and much of it centers on doing things together. The reveal highlights a range of group activities:
- Synchronized dance emotes at home and on stage
- Rooftop conga lines and group dances
- A timed competitive burger-eating minigame with score counters
- Band and idol stage performances under “Let’s Dance” signage
- Birthday parties with cake and party poppers
Competitive and cooperative moments run side by side, from face-offs in colorful indoor arenas to teaming up to tug a stubborn plant out of a rooftop planter.
Animal roommates and choosing your path
You share your home with animal roommates who are not pets. They hold jobs, have their own personalities and plans, and want you involved in their lives. You might plan out the apartment together, coordinate outfits before an event, or find them turning the bathroom into a party.
Paw City also lets you pursue longer goals. You can grab friends and audition for a pop group at the main stage, head to Town Hall to act on what local residents want changed, or take up design work and build lofts tall enough for giraffe neighbors. There is no single required career path.
Turning into a Paw Pal
You can play as either a human anime avatar or an anthropomorphic animal. A magic potion gives you ears and a tail, after which you can stay with a human friend and receive treats such as snacks, head scratches, and the couch’s sunniest spot. In animal form, you can also operate the town’s street-side brush machines and roll through a giant sandbox.
Your protagonist is customizable, with clothing, hairstyles, accessories, and both human and animal forms changing across play. The world is shared with a wide mix of NPC and player-controlled characters.
