Pixel Pal Diary is a cozy virtual pet that actually remembers you. Adopt a little pixel companion, give it a name, and care for it day by day — feed it, play with it, keep it clean, let it rest, and give it love. Your care shapes its mood, and every day your pet writes a short diary entry about what it got up to while you were away. A happy pet writes cheerful little notes; a lonely one writes wistful ones.
