## What is Byteling?

A little pixel friend that really talks back.

Byteling is a cozy pet game: one room, one creature, and a conversation that remembers what you said. No countdown, no punishment, nothing you can lose.

HOW YOU LIVE TOGETHER
• Talk. Your Byteling answers in your language, keeps a diary and remembers small things about you.
• Care. Feed, clean, play, rest — at your own pace.
• Send it on trips. It comes home with finds, postcards and supplies. The longer the trip, the more supplies: from one to six.
• Play together. Six games, some of which your Byteling finds on its trips. All of them have levels: Trio Treats, Memory Pairs, Dice Duel, Snack Jump, Claw Machine and Paths & Slides. Worlds of 20 levels, one to three stars, a small find every ten levels, every fifth level a breather. None of it is for sale: no lives, no boosters.
• Discover. A Codex of 156 everyday things you find with the camera.
• Decorate. Furnish the room with what the two of you found.
• Collect coins. They come only from playing, never for money — trade them for supplies in the shop.
• A home screen widget: one glance, one thought.
• A mailbox for letters from us and postcards from its trips.

ON IPHONE AND IPAD
On iPad your Byteling gets a big room — portrait, landscape and in any window size.

YOU CHOOSE WHO THINKS
• Cozy Brain: built in, offline, free. Lines we wrote, no AI. Always answers.
• Apple Intelligence: an AI writes the replies right on your device (on devices with Apple Intelligence, such as iPhone 15 Pro or newer).
If a brain fails, the Cozy Brain steps in. Your Byteling never goes quiet. The line under the text field always says who is answering — it is never a person.

WHAT WE DON'T DO
• No ads.
• No energy bars nudging you to pay.
• Your Byteling cannot die and cannot be lost.
• Data not collected: no account, no tracking, no analytics. Replies are made on your device. The one exception: if your device can't recognise speech by itself, Apple's speech recognition converts your dictation.

PRICES
Everything above is playable without paying. You only pay for more Bytelings and a decor set.
Your first Byteling (one of three, your choice) is free and stays for good.
The other four are €10.99 each, or together as "All four, for good" for €39.99 — paid once, no subscription. The shop offers the bundle while none of the four has been bought on its own and Plus isn't running.
Byteling Plus is an optional subscription: every Byteling at once, for €5.99 a month or €39.99 a year. The first 14 days are free (once per Apple ID). After that it renews automatically until you cancel in your Apple ID, at least 24 hours before the period ends. When Plus ends, nothing is deleted: your first Byteling and every one you bought stay awake, the others rest with all their memories.
Decor set for the room: €2.99.

SAFETY
Byteling is for ages 13 and up. If someone writes something heavy, every brain answers with a line we wrote that names a real place to get help in their country.
