"Sfronzols" is a game but it's also a character and it interacts with you. They are born in a special way. No other Sfronzol will be like your own. It's a colourful little thing who is also needy, funny, witty and even a little cheeky. It has its own shape, colour and look but the path your Sfronzol takes in the game will also be unique because you are one of a kind! You will take care of it and adopt it as if it were a child or, if you prefer, a special pet. Another reason why you must never be far from your device. The Sfronzol is born, it eats, gets sick, laughs, dances, plays, goes to the toilet, it gets angry if you don't look for it and it will sneeze on your screen. If you continue to ignore it, it could get gravely ill! When it's tired and needs to sleep, it will let you know and you will then have to rock it to sleep by gently rocking your device. In this way, your special pet will fall asleep. It has its own place. A village and stores to buy anything. Food, medicine to make it feel better, spectacles, clothes, hats, anything that can be bought with virtual money. A Sfronzol is a special friend who needs you. You only have to spend a little bit of time with it and it will find a way to say thank you, even if with just a smile.
