Raise a virtual pet inspired by Korean food culture. Albo (알보) is a faithful digital pet game where your egg hatches into a tiny strawberry and evolves through 14 unique Korean food characters based on how well you care for it. Feed your pet rice, soup, and banchan. Treat it to bungeoppang and yakgwa snacks. Play mini-games to keep it happy. Clean up after it, give it medicine when sick, discipline it when it misbehaves, and turn off the light at bedtime. Your care quality determines evolution. Perfect care earns you Bibimbap — the ultimate character. Neglect leads to Nurungji, the burnt rice crust. But even the worst path hides a secret: give Nurungji perfect care and unlock the hidden Haraboji (grandpa) character. 14 characters across 6 life stages. 6 Korean dishes and snacks. 2 classic mini-games. Real-time stat decay, sleep schedules, and generation tracking. All wrapped in pixel art with a dark, gold-accented device shell. 알보 means "egg watch" in Korean (알 = egg, 보 = watch) — a direct translation of Japanese word Tamagotchi.
