This Cozy Virtual Pet Sim Is 'Microsoft Clippy, But Better'

Weyrdlets mixes Animal Crossing and Clippy into a Tamogchi-like game that hopefully stands out from the crowd

One night, as I’m playing Selaco—a fast-paced retro-inspired FPS—I round a corner and shoot three space guards with a grenade launcher and watch their body parts fly through the air. Meanwhile, watching from my desktop is Mustard, my new digital pet. He’s from a different game, Weyrdlets, and he’s hanging out with me as I work and play games on my PC. After killing some guards in Selaco, I make sure to pet Mustard before reloading and getting back into the mayhem.

” The team says balancing the virtual pet on your desktop was tricky. The cute pet needs to require some of your attention, you’ll sometimes need to feed it or pet it, but they always had to make sure your cute critter never felt annoying. How this all works, according to the devs, is that Weyrdlets is running on screen with a transparent background. So you can see and interact with your desktop as your virtual pet runs around and demands food.
