Harkening to the nostalgia of the early 2000s, Weyrdlets melds the best of titles like Nintendogs and Tamagotchi while also aiding players in day-to-day tasks. What’s better than a kawaii little creature keeping them company? Helping with completing the dreaded to-do list, of course!
While raising their pets up, players can collect charming items, personalize their pet’s appearance with various accessories, and embrace their inner interior designer, curating their pet’s home, furniture, and overall vibe.
There’s time for work among all the fun and games, though! When they’re not waddling around and being adorable, the Weyrdlets also assist with daily activities through features like the integrated Pomodoro Timer and To-Do list. Plus, while they idle, they accumulate coins—in-game currency that allows players to purchase even more delightful items within the game!
Key Features of Weyrdlets:
- Adopt a Virtual Desktop Pet: Experience adopting a unique virtual pet with quirky behaviors. Just like in reality, engage in lifelike interactions—pet, grab, feed, and play with your companion both in-game and on your desktop!
- Work and Chill Together: Turn work into play with your companion! Bring your pet onto the desktop to watch videos with you, roam around, and beat stress while you study, tackle emails, or doomscroll.
- Personalize and Customize: Personalize your pet and its environment with accessories and stickers, from Viking hats and shades to charming home decor. Express your style and creativity by decorating both your pet and its home with flair!
- Pet-Centric Productivity: Increase your productivity with in-game tools on your desktop, including a Pomodoro Timer and a To-Do list. Enjoy enhanced focus and efficiency while your companion keeps you company.
- Mental Health Tracker: Wind down at the end of the day and log how you feel. Track your mood and mental health changes over time, and learn to practice mindfulness with your little on-screen buddy.
Weyrdlets is now available free-to-play on Windows PC via Steam.
