PFN Editorial Verdict
Sit tight: a coronation for the annals of the Hao realm. I’m Jiahao, your desktop pet—its absolute strongest, stock investing’s uncrowned king and fashion’s hig
Jiahao (嘉豪) is a desktop companion from 豪意有限公司 and OddLemon. It released on 9 September 2026 at $2.09 — and the character it puts on your screen has no intention of behaving.
He moves in uninvited
The studio describe Jiahao as the supreme powerhouse of the Hao realm — still young, still a demon king in his prime, still the man who never feels pressure.
The practical description is blunter: Jiahao moves into your desktop uninvited, and with no intention of toning himself down.
Five ways to interact
You click, rapid-click, hold, drag or right-click Jiahao directly on the desktop. Five distinct inputs is more interaction depth than most desktop pets offer, where a single drag is usually the whole feature set.
Each presumably triggers different reactions, which is what gives a companion app replay value beyond the first hour.
Jiahao is a companion, not a game
Set expectations correctly: this is a desktop mate. There is nothing to complete and no progression to chase.
Steam genre tags reflect that — Casual, Indie and Simulation, with no Action or Adventure. The value is having Jiahao present while you work, not playing him.
A well-specified listing
The listing includes Steam Achievements, Adjustable Text Size, a Mouse Only Option and custom volume controls.
Achievements on a desktop pet is unusual and suggests hidden interactions worth discovering. Localisation covers English, French, Italian, German and Spanish. Eight store screenshots and a trailer are up.
Two dollars at the time of writing
Jiahao is on Steam at $2.09 at the time of writing. Discounts change often — the spec table below is checked against the live listing.
One correction worth making: the studio announced a 1 September launch in their countdown posts, but the Steam listing has not flipped and still shows no date. Treat the store page as authoritative rather than the announcement.
With nothing posted there is no value judgement to make yet. Jiahao has a demo listed separately, which is the sensible way to test whether the character appeals before any price is set. A Boundary Heroes Supporter Pack is also listed.
Full details are on the official Steam store page.
