This game is cute and very cool. My only issue is that it tosses all of my stats onto high. gpu is 75% to 100% (flatlined at 100%) depending on what else I am doing such as watching TV, Most importantly, when you close the game, your pet's needs will go down

Not recommended Sep 19, 2026

Another AI companion that freezes progress if you turn off your internet connection to prevent traffic from being read while afk. There is absolutely no reason, in my opinion, for this type of app ignore all offline activities or progress we do on our local machines and revert to the last cloud state the app was in when it was online. I have more than 6 play time hours in. I have at least 6 more hours of the app open that was not recorded because I turned my internet connection off overnight.
