    Too busy but still want your pet around? That’s exactly why I added Auto Mode! When you turn it on, your pet will take care of themselves — eating, drinking, bathing, even healing when they’re sick — all automatically.The best part? You’ll keep earning hearts while Auto Mode is on, so your progress never stops.This way, your little buddy stays happy and healthy, even if you’re deep into work, gaming, or just away from the keyboard. No stress, no worries.I’m super happy with how this feature turned out, because it makes the game way more chill and accessible. And of course, you can always switch Auto Mode off whenever you want to jump back in and take care of things yourself.What do you think? Would you keep Auto Mode on, or only use it when life gets busy?

Short description

A cozy desktop pet that lives on your monitor. Care for it, play with it, and watch it grow over time. Inspired by the virtual pets of the '90s (e.g., Tamagotchi*), now designed for your everyday PC life.

About this game

Bring that childhood feeling back — a small creature that depends on you, gently. Your desktop companion sits at the edge of the screen while you work, study, or game. It asks for simple care: food, water, bath, play, cleaning — and responds with tiny moods and animations that make everyday moments feel alive. No pressure, no heavy micromanagement: quick interactions, soothing vibes. As days pass, your pet grows and shows new behaviors. Leave it alone for too long, and it may get sick — or even pass away . The heart of the game is the bond you build: return, care, and watch happiness bloom again. In addition to daily care, you can also customize your companion and environment with adorable items that add even more charm and personality to your pet. Why you’ll love it Real companionship: always there, never in the way. Gentle care loop: subtle reminders, quick actions, stress-free. Time-based growth: evolving stages and behaviors. Cozy & cute: soft, comforting atmosphere for everyday life. Meaningful stakes: your attention truly matters. Legal note *“ Tamagotchi ” is a trademark of Bandai. This game is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by Bandai. CTA Like it? Add to your wishlist to stay in the loop.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $2.99
  • Highest observed: $2.99

Desktop Friend's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $2.99, the highest is $2.99, and the first visible tracked price is $2.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Desktop Friend's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $2.99, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $2.99. The latest run records $2.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $2.99
  • Current list price: $2.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Desktop Friend at $2.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
