Read full description

A tiny creature. You care for it once a day. That's the game. Alive-ish is a small, calm ritual: check in, care for your creature, and go about your day. No energy bars counting down against you, no timers demanding attention, no pressure between visits. WHAT'S IN HERE - One creature to raise, cared for once a day - Ten friends to meet along the way, each with their own look and personality - Ten mini-games you play together with them - Rooms and props to unlock and decorate with - A daily challenge and a memory book of moments you've earned - A home-screen widget that shows how your creature is doing at a glance - Optional cosmetics and an ad-free option, never required to keep playing HOW IT TREATS YOU - No account, no sign-up, nothing to create - No energy system and no pay-to-keep-alive pressure - Rewarded ads are entirely optional and never forced on you - Works fully offline, all progress stays on your device Don't let it die. That's the whole rule.
