Companion / Pet System
A downloadable asset pack for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
🐾 Companion / Pet System
Companion / Pet System is a lightweight Unity package designed to add a controllable companion, follower, helper, partner, or pet system to your game.
The package provides a ready-to-use foundation where a companion can follow the player, wait in place, and improve through a simple upgrade system.
Add a loyal follower, pet, support character, or adventure companion without building the entire system from scratch.
