Virtual Pet Overload

ยป Gacha | Simulation | Tamagotchi

Virtual Pet Overload is based around a girl who loves collecting virtual pet toys! At first, she only owns one, but her happiness is tied to her need to grow it. She needs more toys to keep her happiness alive. What starts as a fun hobby quickly spirals into chaos and unhealthy obsession as her desk fills with buzzing, needy pets that all demand attention at once!

Here's a ๐ŸŒธ Girly Game Jam #2 ๐ŸŒธ submission (August 16th-26th)

It's a fun silly concept that made me think of a certain someone I know (you know who you are).

You start off with one Tama (a virtual pet) playing with it (as you normally would) and eventually levelling up.

Oh, but leveling up isn't a good thing in this game.

You see, gaining a "level" in this game is the manifestation of your ever growing dissatisfaction: Your desire for more stimulation, for that next dopamine hit, for more virtual fur babies.

(The game ain't that serious though)

Game Loop

Feed, bathe, and play with your Tamas to keep them happy, you happy, and to earn money. More money means more Gacha rolls, which means more Tamas.

As you play your collection grows and you eventually get overwhelmed by the crushing responsibility of managing an excessive amount of Tamas.

Who's this for?

If it isn't obvious, I'd share this silly game with your Tamagotchi lovers. It's not the same experience as the real thing but I think it serves a good laugh.

Set aside 20 minutes to enjoy this game. (or 40... or more... if you really like Tamas... seek help if you find yourself playing this game for more than 12 hours a day)

Next Friday

Annie's back! ๐ŸŽ‰

Get ready for her fantastical writing style while she dives into a game she found on Steam. I'll be off learning how to swim. ๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Talk soon,
