3 | |
4 | It's a simple game, really. You have a little yellow pet chick, which you name and accessorize. You can feed them, give them a bath, and as you take care of them, unlock more things to do with them, like play ball, video games, or take them cycling. Very lighthearted fun....[[DisguisedHorrorStory Or is it?]] |

6 | A mobile version of the game is available, along with sequels and spin-offs, like ''Can Your Lemon'' and ''Can Your Pet: Returns''. |
7 | ---- |
8 | !!This game provides examples of: |
9 | |
10 | * AnthropomorphicFood: The lemon in ''Can Your Lemon''. |
11 | * BlackComedy: Pretty much the main reason the game exists. |
12 | * BlatantLies: The original game's description states "There will be great messages at the end of the game". What you actually get probably wouldn't be considered "great". |
13 | * CrueltyIsTheOnlyOption: The only way to "win" the original game is to click on the "bicycle" and [[spoiler:shred and can your pet]]. |
14 | * CruelTwistEnding: Clicking on the bicycle results in it [[spoiler: turning out to be ''shredders'', which chop up your pet and stuff them in a tin can]]. |
15 | * DisguisedHorrorStory: It may seem like a cute, simple, and fun pet simulator game, but whatever you do, [[spoiler:don't click on the "bicycle"…]] |
16 | * DoubleMeaningTitle: The game is titled ''Can Your Pet?'', as if asking what your pet ''can'' do. [[spoiler: It's actually asking if you want to ''can'' your pet (kill them and stuff their remains in a can)]]. |
17 | * DownerEnding: The game ends with [[spoiler:your pet chick getting killed and stuffed in a can]]. |
18 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: In ''Can Your Pet: Returns'', once you earn enough cans, you can choose to let your pet escape and survive. |
19 | * {{Feghoot}}: The entire game is incredibly short, and it all leads up to [[spoiler:the dark punchline in which your pet is, indeed, canned]]. |
20 | * IdleGame: ''Can Your Pet: Returns'' becomes this once you upgrade enough times. |
21 | * IntentionalEngrishForFunny: The games' text and descriptions in the App Store are deliberately written in broken English. |
22 | * LighterAndSofter: ''Can Your Pet: Returns'' tones down the blood and gore from the original game and includes an alternate happy end, though the black comedy and implications remain. |
23 | * NewGamePlus: Restarting the game after completing it once updates the title screen [[spoiler:to show a bloody and traumatized chick instead of a cute and happy one]] and adds an additional item to the room, [[spoiler:the can of your previous pet]]. |
24 | * RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The little chick. |
25 | * StealthPun: The game's title. It actually means [[spoiler:killing your pet and stuffing its remains into a tin can]]. |
26 | * SoundtrackDissonance: [[spoiler: The lighthearted Richie Kavanagh song "Chicken Talk" plays in the credits as the remains of your dead pet chicken slowly fall into a can.]] |
27 | * SurprisinglyCreepyMoment: The game, on the surface, appears like a simple, lighthearted children's pet simulator, but pushing the last option [[spoiler:kills and shreds your pet]]. |
28 | * VideoGameCaringPotential: You can play ball with your pet, give them food, give them a bath or, you know, [[spoiler:not click on the "bicycle"]]. |
29 | * VideoGameCrueltyPotential: You can choose to push the "bicycle" button, which [[spoiler: drops the chick into a pair of buzzsaws, before stuffing what's left into a tin can]]. |
30 | * VirtualPet: The little pet chick in the original game, and the lemon in ''Can Your Lemon''. |
