Mochii: stroll, touch grass

where do discarded virtual pets go?
the ones from the 90s, left in drawers, batteries long dead. they have souls too. so we take them all in. every single one. but the shelter is getting full, and that's where you come in.

why are they called mochii?
they suppressed their feelings of abandonment for so long that those feelings turned into fillings, and they into mochi.

ADOPT A MOCHII
all it needs is a cozy corner on your home screen. each mochii is unique: its own coat, its own eyes, its own little face. once it settles into your widget, it's yours to look after.

ITS NEEDS ARE SIMPLE
• walks: it loves going on walks with you. (+5 HP every 1,000 steps)
• screen time: radiation from apps hurts its health. (−6 HP every 15 mins)

and a few little things, like any pet:
• snacks: it gets peckish a few times a day. tap to feed it
• cleaning up: what goes in must come out. don't leave it out past bedtime
• bedtime: once the lights are off, let it sleep. scrolling or walking around after bedtime disturbs its rest

mochii never blocks your apps, never nags, never judges. it just wants you out in the world a little more, and its health bar shows how it's doing.

IT TEXTS YOU
in its own little language. when a snack drops, when it enjoyed a long walk with you, when it's had enough of your phone.

SIMPLE LOGS
your mochii keeps a small diary: how far you walked together, how long it sat waiting, how its heart is doing.

PLEASE DON'T NEGLECT IT
mochiis can die of neglect. if yours passes, you'll have to write us an in-app mail and convince us you deserve another. we read every letter.

KEEP THE LIGHTS ON
every mochii lives on a tiny server that keeps it warm, delivers its snacks, and keeps the poop disposal system running. keep the lights on with a monthly or yearly adoption plan.

because if you're not in this world, who is going to take care of it?
