About this game

Peridot fulfills your fantasy of bonding with a magical, brag-worthy creature that can fly through the air, always wants to be by your side, and might have a secret love for turkey sandwiches. 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!
_______________

ADOPT your very own Peridot, creatures that feel and look totally real. Each Dot has unique DNA which makes them a truly special companion made just for you.

NURTURE your creatures and help them live their best lives. Play fetch, teach them how to shake their butt, give them belly rubs, and dress them up in hats, mustaches, bowties, and more!

EXPLORE the world, get outside, and see the world in a new way through your Dot’s eyes. Your Dot is curious about the environment and might uncover hidden items depending on where you adventure with them. When your Dot is looking particularly adorable, snap photos and videos to share with your friends on social.

COLLABORATE with your friends and other players to breed your Dots together and Hatch entirely new Dots that are genetically unique. Discover together what’s possible and encounter endless possibilities of Peridot Archetypes that resemble some of your favorite animals, including cheetahs, unicorns, peacocks, and more. You can even combine and pass down these rare Traits to the future generations of Dots.

EXPAND your beloved family of Dots by unlocking badass Peridot Archetypes and Traits as you climb the ranks within the Peridot Keeper Society.

EXPERIENCE a rich narrative as you learn about the mysterious ancient past of these creatures and work to preserve the species for future generations.

Join this heartwarming journey today and rediscover just how beautiful the world around you truly is.

Older reviews for this game mention that it's difficult to progress without spending money, but I'm happy to say that has been entirely fixed in recent updates. Obtaining nests is not difficult using Blightbux, which can be obtained by going out and exploring your environment. The game is adorable and it's fun to see all of the different possible Dots. Definitely worth trying.

Update: Changing score to 4 stars, the game has improved a lot. They've introduced more in game ways to get nests and currency, and there's more to do in game after you raise your dots. Sadly I'm stuck dealing with a bug where the game isn't displaying the camera feed. I don't know if it's due to my phone upgrade to a pixel 10 as the game runs fine on my other devices. Oh, and it still overheats my devices pretty bad while playing.

Thank you for your feedback. We're introducing additional opportunities to earn Nests in-game starting in early August. We hope you give it another try.

Early Access so I'll offer some leeway but it's definitely a little rough around the edges; mostly some visual errors happening with models seeming to stretch/break, especially longer tails, and the teaching tricks thing not being very well explained/executable as it is. But! The critters are cute, there's variety in colors and traits, it's not hard to interact with them, and having them need to interact with actual real world objects is pretty fun!
