Take Care of Your Own Shadow Milk

Take Care of Your Own Shadow Milk is an experimental game built on the Scratch platform, based on the character Shadow Milk Cookie. Instead of battles or adventures, this game revolves around taking care of (or disturbing) Shadow Milk in a small but free space. This is not just a regular virtual pet game, but also an "improvisational stage" for the creativity and humor of the player.

What is the core gameplay?

The strongest point of the game is that it does not impose clear rules. Players can choose between two different styles.

Care mode

• Feed in the kitchen with all kinds of food, from delicious food to weird things.
• Bathe, keep clean in the bathroom.
• Put Shadow Milk to bed to restore energy.

Mischief mode

• Use items to tease, observe angry or mischievous reactions.
• Create funny situations without long-term consequences.

Pay attention to Shadow Milk's energy index

• Energy: represents the strength after eating or sleeping.
• Health: reflects the overall level of care.
• Hunger: determines the mood and actions of Shadow Milk.

3 This system helps players feel the minimal responsibility of the owner for their lovely pet. However, it does not put too much pressure on you. While playing, it is also special care and mood relief.

What experience did I have on Take Care of Your Own Shadow Milk?

Compared to traditional virtual pet raising games such as Pou or Kitty Cats, Take Care of Your Own Shadow Milk has some differences that make me very excited and unable to take my eyes off.

• Small space but rich in symbolism: Each room is not only a functional place (eating, sleeping, bathing) but also suggests a "short scenario" for the character.
• Character with two sides: Shadow Milk is both cute and mysterious, creating a “half pet, half prank” feeling.
• High experimental: Since there are no rewards or punishments, players set their own goals – perfect care or make Shadow Milk the center of mischief.

Take Care of Your Own Shadow Milk left a deep impression on me because of its freedom, humor, and unique character. It turns an original character from Cookie Run into a “chaotic virtual pet”, both to nurture and to tease. This is a typical example of the creative power of the Scratch community: turning the familiar into a new experience, both accessible and surprisingly deep. If you are also a passionate owner of taking care of your funny pet, play Take Care of Your Own Shadow Milk today.
