Welcome to the mysterious and foreboding world of "Pet Project", where you will be transported to a secluded office on campus to fulfill a task for your seemingly normal professor. They are going away to a conference for the week and need help taking care of an office pet. Your group, graduate student in the professors class, have been tasked with the care of the professor's pet - neither a cat or dog, this otherworldly creature is housed in a wooden box, adorned with heavy chains.
As you set foot in the office, you'll quickly realize that this will take more effort than simply putting food in a bowl.
