Mirokami is a little character that grows by mirroring your real life, through the photos you actually take. Photograph your day and it absorbs the moment, evolves, and reacts to what's really in that image. The name says it: Mir[o] (mirror) plus Kami (spirit, in Japanese). A spirit that reflects you and echoes how you actually live. Photograph a meal → it eats Photograph a workout → it gets fitter Photograph a book → it learns Photograph a sunset → its mind settles HOW IT WORKS Photograph anything from your day: food, exercise, books, landscapes, friends. The AI reads each photo and turns it into your character's growth and new experiences. Four life areas grow at their own rhythm: Food, Fitness, Mental, Knowledge. Dozens of finer traits sit under them (sports, creativity, reading, gastronomy, and more). WHAT'S INSIDE 300+ real, photographable experiences to discover, some hidden until you live them Seasonal packs and collections Skins, horns, wings and cosmetics you unlock by living your life Quick daily mini-games and missions (daily, weekly, monthly) A weekend check-up: a calm, non-judgmental read of your week, with Clara pointing out the detail you missed Meet friends by scanning a QR in person. No profiles, no followers, no feed. Groups that show what everyone's been up to, with no ranking and no comparison WHY IT'S DIFFERENT No feed. No likes. No followers. No doomscroll. Here you just live, and every photo is a small win. The screen exists to send you back out into the world. MIROKAMI CLUB (OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION) Mirokami is free to play.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Remagotchi at none against Mirokami's shown. Remagotchi also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Mirokami's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 81%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
