Your egg hatches in 7 days. Talk to it every day until then. Wiggly Pet is a care app where what you say to your egg becomes its personality. Favorites, dislikes, values, way of speaking — everything you answer over 7 days builds into one unique character. Even the same species turns out completely different depending on who raised it. ■ 7 Days of Shaping a Personality · 3 new questions arrive every day — just answer them · Your answers build 5 personality traits, a way of speaking, and preferences · On Day 7, a baby animal hatches with the personality you gave it ■ Life Continues After Hatching · Feed it, wash it, play with it, put it to sleep · Chat with it — it talks back in the personality you shaped, and listens to what's on your mind · Couldn't visit for a few days? It goes on a little adventure alone and leaves a diary entry ■ Who You Might Hatch Dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, foxes, raccoons, penguins, alpacas, capybaras, mini pigs — and even mythical creatures like haetae, dokkaebi, white tiger, nine-tailed fox, and phoenix. ■ Your Time Together, Recorded Day 7, Day 30, Day 365 — the days you've spent together become a little autobiography. ※ Chatting with your pet is not professional counseling.
