In Petit Planet, players step into the role of a Planet Tender, beginning life on their own personal world within a vast cosmic sea known as the Starsea.

As planets connect, entire galaxies begin to form, unlocking shared stories and evolving experiences.

Gameplay focuses on relaxed life simulation activities such as farming, fishing, cooking, beachcombing, and decorating your planet freely. Players can also spend time with fuzzy Neighbors, building relationships through conversation, gifting, and shared daily life.

The game’s social ecosystem expands further through Luca, a mysterious life force that shapes the environment as bonds deepen and planets flourish.
