About This Game

This is a story about friendship with someone who lives right inside your computer. Buddy never forgets a single one of your meetings and always notices when you’ve been gone for too long.

You have exactly seven days. Listen to his monologues, play mini-games, and watch how everything around you changes. Your attention will determine the ending of this story. And the moments you share will remain as 11 achievements.
