Adopt a rock. That's it. That's the game. Your rock does nothing — and it does it perfectly. Pet it, feed it minerals it won't eat, polish it to a proud dull finish, and watch the Zen flow in as your rock sits there, unbothered, thriving. EARN ZEN BY DOING NOTHING Your rock generates Zen every second, even when you're away. It's not lazy. It's geological. DRESS YOUR ROCK Googly eyes. A tiny hat. Sunglasses for a sun it cannot perceive. A crown, because it earned it by sitting still. A friend pebble — they will never speak, and they are best friends. ACHIEVEMENTS Pet the rock 1,000 times. Reach Enlightenment. Own everything. History will remember none of it. RANDOM EVENTS A bird may land on your rock and pay rent. A snail may challenge it to a race. The rock will win by not entering. Just you and a rock, doing nothing together. Optional tips exist if you wish to thank the rock. It will display no gratitude. Warning: the rock does nothing. That is the point.

About

Chill Capy

Read full description

Chill Capy is a modern take on the classic virtual pet: a capybara who lives in a hot spring, wears a yuzu on his head, and is completely, permanently unbothered. Feed him snacks. Give him baths. Soak with him in the onsen. Dress him in ridiculous hats. He'll blink at you, squeak, and be genuinely thrilled you exist. A PET WHO NEVER PUNISHES YOU Classic virtual pets guilt you into coming back. Capy doesn't. Skip a day — skip a week — and he never dies, never runs away, never lectures. His mood droops, he gets dramatic about snacks, and the moment you're back he's delighted. Care is a warm routine, not a hostage situation. A HOT SPRING THAT LIVES His onsen follows the real time of day: sunrise light in the morning, stars and steam at night. Yuzu bob in the water, ripples spread, and as Capy levels up the neighborhood notices — a bird moves in, then a turtle, a duck, a frog. Decorate it with lanterns, bonsai and fairy lights. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Add the widget: Capy in his current outfit, his mood and his line, your streak and the next event, on your Home Screen or Lock Screen. It keeps up through the day, even with the app closed. THREE TINY GAMES Yuzu Drop (catch the falling citrus), Bubble Pop (pop the fizz) and Steam Says (the stones hum a pattern — hum it back). Games earn coins for snacks, hats and decorations. DRESS HIM UP Over thirty fits across four slots: straw hats, flower crowns, heart shades, knit scarves, duck floaties. EIGHT SEASONS AT THE ONSEN Something is always blooming: Warm Hearts in February, Sakura Soak in spring, Hydrangea Rain in June, Summer Splash, Moon Viewing under the harvest moon, Spooky Springs, Autumn Leaves and the winter Yuzu Festival — straight out of the real capybara onsen tradition. Each brings its own weather to the hot spring, limited fits and decorations, and bonus coins. PLAYDATES WITH FRIENDS Your capy is a scannable code. Meet a friend, scan each other, and your capybaras soak together — friendship grows to five hearts and pays out daily. Far away? Send your invite link: friends who have Chill Capy get a playdate, friends who don't get the app first — and a welcome gift. Send postcards from your onsen to your story. Bring three friends into your crew and earn the Friendship Bandana — it can't be bought. No account needed. STREAKS, QUESTS AND KEEPSAKES A daily reward calendar, three little missions a day, achievements, lifetime stats and a daily capybara fact. Streak freezes exist because life happens. NO ACCOUNT, PLAYS OFFLINE No sign-up, no login, no wifi needed to care for him. Your capybara lives on your device — and a backup code moves him to a new phone. IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, 日本語, 한국어, 繁體中文, Português and Español. Chill Club is an optional subscription (with a lifetime option): it removes interstitial ads, adds daily gems, boosts coins, protects your streak, and unlocks member-only fits plus every seasonal item. Gem packs are one-time purchases. The pet, the games and the care loop are never paywalled.
