Are Tamagotchis a thing now again? I’m getting a sense they might be, but I’ll always associate them with the nineties. Ah, to return to a simpler time, where kids tripped each other up in the school hallways to steal toys , before Pokémon cards came along and everyone leveled up to stabbings. Sorry,Petal Runnerdevs, for opening a news article about your lovely wholesome game talking about stabbings. This gorgeous, fuschia-splashed, slice-of-lifeRPGis, if anything, the antidote to stabbings. In terms of game fatigue, anyway. It won’t cure tetanus, at least I don’t think so.

You’ll explore the town of Sapphire Valley, the name of which alone is such a knowing wink to Gameboy Advance-era creature collectors that you can be pretty confident what sort of vibes you’re getting here. You’ll play minigames and grow pets, and there may be a nefarious conspiracy of some sort lurking at the heart of the digi-pet craze. There’s certainly a scientist-looking fellow with no hair and bottle-rim glasses, the types most likely to be found at the heart of no-good goings on, say I. Still no release date on this one, but we’ll keep you posted.
