He talks to you.

Tap him and type a message. His replies pop up as speech bubbles right above him, in the middle of your home screen.

Teach him to talk and the app downloads a language model once. After that, he works out his replies on your phone.

REAL FOOTAGE FROM THE APP

HIS ROOM

He has a room of his own.

That's where your time together adds up: a diary he writes in the evening, his dreams and a picture on the wall.

Once he's roamed around outside enough, you bring him in. One tap and he's back out.

The goldfish lives in an aquarium instead: with bubbles, a snail and a clam that opens and closes.
