With the power of AR, this pet simulation game places whimsical beings known as Peridots (“Dots'' for short) in the real world with you. And with Peridot, playing with friends is better, simple as that. Meet up with your besties IRL to Hatch new Dots that will inherit the Traits of their parents, then snap a pic and share it with your friends!

Ratings and reviews

A game I love dearly, however, it lacks a lot of content it could really use to help maintain the player base. The main activities you have is petting and feeding. There's no toys except balls to throw. You can't bathe them. Growing your bond changes nothing but title. The most exciting thing you can do is breed Dots, if you can get your hands on a nest. Traits feel lackluster these days, even with the "Chaos" trait system (they are too messy). I want to see more updates before I recommend this

Really fun and cute, but I find weird slowdowns that make me fail activities. When circling a feral dot, the trace on the screen struggles to keep up, sometimes taking multiple seconds to catch up, all while the rest of the game runs at normal speed, which means that the dot can walk into my trace far easier because they are two seconds ahead of my movement. I suspect this is because the trace is trying to be drawn on the 3D environment, but my phone can't update the AR environment fast enough

I love the idea of the game. However, a couple of things could be added to make it better. 1. More ways to interact with the dot. 2. Have consequences for not caring well for your dot. 3. Make it develop a different personality based on how you've cared for your dot. Other things have been said before. The app has a potential, but it has room to grow. I'm interested to see if the developers will listen.
