Description
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.

Editors’ Notes
We love how Peridot’s cute, fantastical AR pets will even sniff real-world flowers.
Fun, but not “willing to break the bank” fun.
Growing up as a tamagotchi kid, I love playing this game. Going on walks with my dots, showing them a tree or a flower, digging in some dirt, playing fetch, seeing them grow up, etc. but I cannot justify spending so much money. If it was $1/nest with discount bundles from there, that would feel reasonable, considering it takes a dot about 3-4 days to mature so I’d be buying them so often. $5 just to continue progressing the game, without opportunities to buy with in-game money? No way, no app game is worth that. I’ve spent a decent of money on PoGo through the years, but at least I don’t absolutely HAVE to in order to progress, and that game is also getting too expensive for me to care about lately.
Besides the paywall, I also wish the hatch-a-dot system was less clunky. Having to send a message in Campfire, which is a separate app, and hoping somebody else checks their messages? The “send seed gift” should be replaced with the hatch request, since exchanging the same 400 seeds back and forth with someone seems pointless.
Love the idea behind the game, but the execution is lacking. I’ll play it again in the future if the paywall issue is mitigated, but for now it makes sense to abandon my 2 free dot pets...
Core Mechanic of the game stuck behind paywall.
Peridough should be way more accessible. I can dig up Sundrops and constantly farm Blightbux, so Peridough needs to be easier to get too. Also, at least every other day (if not every single day) there should be a Nest available for Blightbux or Peridough. If you can’t do that then bring back crafting Nests, I should at the very least be able to craft 2 Nests a day or every other day. Honestly who in this economy is able to pay $5 for a Nest every. Single. Time. It’s just not feasible and people should be able to just enjoy something without it hurting their pockets. You can keep the bundles and stuff. I’m sure people who can afford it buy it, which is definitely giving y’all enough money to keep the game running. I wouldn’t have an issue at all with the in-app purchases if the dev team of this game wasn’t basically making them mandatory. This game is pay to play, not pay to win. It’s entirely backwards; what app has ever done anything like that?? None because it makes no sense and doesn’t work. The whole point of the game is to breed for better traits and eventually get archetypes so why would you take away a CORE MECHANIC of the game?? It makes zero sense. Also, how much you spend breeding with rescued/feral and friend’s dots needs to be less random. It’s definitely randomized, otherwise I wouldn’t already have the archetype I do. You should spend less or more depending on how many traits from that dot are still locked for you.
