How it feels
A gentle, encouraging companion that runs quietly in the background while you do real-world tasks, rewarding you with small collectibles upon return.

What players say
Players must keep the mouse pointer inside a tiny square to make a character walk and earn hats, and the game stops if the window loses focus. The last hat takes 500,000 steps, and many find the game helps them get away from their computer or keep their system from sleeping. Some call it too limited and point to other idle games with more customization.
