A Digital Pet

Adults who miss raising a virtual pet, but want a story to follow instead of a feeding meter, are the audience for A Digital Pet.

A Digital Pet is an AI pet simulation game powered by ChatGPT, and it works as a chatbot and roleplay game where the plot is generated as you play rather than scripted in advance.

Storylines can run on without a fixed ending.

You can let ChatGPT steer the adventure or pick your own direction.

Day to day, that means looking after your pet, making friends with other pets and taking yours to the vet.

The pet can also learn tricks, from simple ones to more complex ones, so time spent with it builds on itself.

There is a competitive side too.

A Digital Pet has a leaderboard, so you can compare your pet and your playing with other users.

The project calls itself a new videogame genre, which is a big claim, but the pairing of open-ended AI storytelling with familiar pet care is easy to grasp.
