Hello, my pet

Features
Read full description

Just 6 actions a day. Spend that time together โ€” and watch your pet grow. Hello, my pet is a quiet, 99-day companion game. You walk together, study together, fall asleep together, share the occasional dream. Small moments stack up into diary entries and memories. โ–  One cycle, 99 days Each day you spend 6 action tokens โ€” meal, walk, play, study, rest, adventure. Close out the day without pushing too hard, and your pet writes a short diary entry coloured by how that day felt. โ–  A small coin economy and shop Your pet picks up coins on walks. Place in a contest and you'll see a prize. You can also take part-time jobs yourself for a steady payout. Spend coins on snacks, toys, and outfits to enjoy together. A small weekly upkeep keeps the relationship grounded โ€” be a thoughtful caretaker. โ–  Warm details - A short Korean-style handwritten diary entry every day - Pin photos, voice notes, and favourite memories - Build relationships with neighbourhood NPCs; small events unlock - Four life stages: BABY โ†’ JUNIOR โ†’ ADULT โ†’ SENIOR, paced gently โ–  No pressure 6 actions a day is enough. Watching ads is optional and capped at 5 per day. Missing an upkeep payment only nudges affection โ€” the game keeps going. After 99 days, you'll welcome a new friend. Coins from the previous one are passed forward. The cycle quietly continues.

About

Aquary

Features
Read full description

Aquary is a living aquarium designed around care without fear. Feed your fish, refresh the water, adjust the temperature, decorate your world, and return in your own time. CARE WITHOUT FEAR Fish may become hungry and water may cloud, but they never die or disappear. Missed days never erase what you have earned, and the calm chain pauses instead of resetting. Care remains meaningful without turning your aquarium into a source of pressure. SEE THROUGH THEIR EYES Choose a fish and enter a moving fisheye view that follows its swim through the tank. Meet the rest of your aquarium from a completely different perspective. A WORLD THAT FOLLOWS YOUR DAY Morning rays, clear noon water, sunset warmth, and moonlit night blend with your device clock. Curious, shy, playful, and calm fish each move with their own temperament. CARE TOGETHER, WITHOUT COMPETITION No email, password, public feed, chat, or leaderboard. Exchange a short code with someone you trust, visit their aquarium in 3D, and, with permission, feed fish, refresh water, or restore temperature. Permission can be withdrawn at any time. GROW AT YOUR OWN PACE Discover fish and decorations, open treasure chests, collect pearls, and shape an aquarium that feels like yours. There is no energy gate controlling core care, and every essential care action is available without a real-money purchase. AQUARY+ (OPTIONAL) Aquary+ adds four atmosphere modes, three exclusive decorations, and a daily diamond gift. Aquary+ subscriptions and the one-time Starter Pack can be restored from the Store. Aquary launches in 10 languages and contains no advertising or cross-app tracking.
