A brand new kind of virtual pet experience has just landed on Meta Quest, and it’s stealing hearts already. Stay: Forever Home, a mixed reality pet simulator from the creators of popular titles like Bogo and First Steps, is now available exclusively for Meta Quest headsets. And at the center of it all is Ember, an adorable virtual companion who’s ready to turn your home into a playful and interactive MR world.
Developed primarily for mixed reality by Windup Minds, Stay: Forever Home blends the physical and digital worlds in a way that feels surprisingly natural. Ember isn’t just a cute digital pet—she interacts with your scanned environment in real time. During setup, players are even asked to accurately measure the height of their real-world furniture, like couches, so Ember can realistically jump onto them. It’s these little touches that make the experience feel incredibly immersive.
Meet Ember – Your New MR Best Friend
Ember is more than just a virtual pet. She’s got her own personality, quirks, and behaviors that evolve based on how much time and affection you give her. Whether she’s playfully begging for treats, exploring your living space, or guiding you through light-hearted adventures, she feels truly alive.
From the moment you meet her, Ember starts forming a bond that feels genuine. Over time, she responds differently based on your interactions—making each player’s journey feel unique and personal. For many, she’ll quickly start feeling like another pet in the house.
A New Kind of Immersive Experience
Stay: Forever Home isn’t just about taking care of a digital pet. It’s about companionship in a new dimension. By utilizing the power of mixed reality, the game creates an emotional connection that’s hard to ignore. It’s fun, heartwarming, and surprisingly immersive.
This isn’t just a game for kids or pet lovers—it’s for anyone who wants to experience what it feels like when virtual companionship meets real-world presence. And because it’s designed for Meta Quest, the entire experience is untethered and truly interactive.
Now Available on Meta Quest
Stay: Forever Home is now available for download on Meta Quest headsets. Whether you’re a longtime fan of virtual pets or completely new to the genre, this MR experience offers something fresh, emotional, and endlessly entertaining.
We’ll be spending more time with Ember in the coming days, exploring her world and seeing just how deep this connection goes. But one thing’s clear already—this isn’t just a pet sim. It’s a game that might just love you back.
