Weyrdlets Launch Date and Steam Next Fest Participation Announced
Ready to get weyrd? Malaysian indie studio Weyrdworks is hyped to announce the launch of their free-to-play virtual pet sim, Weyrdlets, set to drop on Windows PC on July 23. Plus, the demo is part of Steam Next Fest, showcasing its chill vibes and productivity-boosting features.
Weyrdlets: The Best of Both Worlds
Described as Animal Crossing meets Nintendogs, Weyrdlets is a desktop virtual pet game that merges the relaxation of caring for cute pets with a sense of real achievement through productivity. This game also packs a punch with Twitch integration, allowing streamers to engage with their communities during co-working streams or while queuing up in their favorite multiplayer games.
Work and Play with Weyrdlets
As you grind through your tasks, features like the integrated Pomodoro Timer and To-Do list help keep you on track. Meanwhile, your Weyrdlet roams around your screen, keeping you company. The best part? While your pet idles, it earns coins—an in-game currency you can use to customize your pet’s look and decorate their home.
Key Features of Weyrdlets:
- Adopt a Virtual Desktop Pet: Experience the joy of adopting a unique virtual pet with quirky behaviors. Interact with your companion both in-game and on your desktop—pet, grab, feed, and play with them.
- Work and Chill Together: Turn work into play! Bring your pet onto the desktop to watch videos with you, let them roam around, and beat stress while you study, tackle emails, or doomscroll.
- Personalize and Customize: Express your style by personalizing your pet and its environment. Deck out your Weyrdlet with accessories and stickers, from Viking hats and shades to charming home decor.
- Pet-Centric Productivity: Boost your productivity with in-game tools like a Pomodoro timer, a to-do list, and a daily self-reflection logger. Stay focused and efficient while your companion keeps you company.
The Weyrdlets demo is live now on Windows PC via Steam, with the full release set for July 23, 2024. Get ready to adopt, customize, and chill with your new virtual buddy while turning productivity into pure fun!
