The Demo includes DesktopKin 1 and its Avatar Editor. DesktopKins 2–4 and external model imports require Full. Editor customizations apply to the editable DesktopKins. Soccer is a local desktop activity with your avatars, not online multiplayer.
Is DesktopKins a game or a desktop companion?
A little of both. Let your avatars keep you company while you work, then take control for Parkour, try a Soccer kickabout, or play Dodge. You don’t need a game running to enjoy your companions.
Can I use my own avatar?
Yes, in Full. Import a compatible humanoid VRM or Mixamo FBX model, including external textures when needed. Rigging and model quality affect the results. Your original model files stay yours; make sure you have permission to use them.
Can I edit my DesktopKin?
Yes. The free Demo includes DesktopKin 1’s Avatar Editor. Customize hair, clothing, accessories, colors, face and body details, then save the appearance for your companion. Full includes all four editable DesktopKins. External VRM / FBX imports are available in Full only.
Does it read my files or record my music?
Desktop surfaces use local window and icon geometry, not file contents. Activity awareness can use the foreground app/window title and overall activity signals, not typed text or document contents. Music rhythm analysis runs on-device without saving, sending, or transcribing the audio. You can switch these controls off in Settings. Read the details.
Will it move my desktop icons?
Icon pushing is a separate setting in Play Parkour. When enabled, avatars can move actual icon positions; icon awareness alone does not grant that permission. Check the setting if you want positions to stay fixed. File contents are unchanged.
Does it work on Mac, Linux, or with a controller?
The current DesktopKins app is for Windows, using mouse and keyboard controls. This website does not promise Mac, Linux, or controller support. The manual lists the keys for each activity.
Can I play with friends online?
The current activities are local to your desktop. Several avatars playing Soccer together is not online multiplayer. We’re not advertising online play as an available feature.
