GLITCHY

[Made with Claude.ai and Ludo.ai]

GLITCHY looks like any other pocket pet: big eyes, pastel colors, a happy little beep when you feed it. Keep it fed, happy, and rested and it stays adorable. Let your attention slip, and you'll find out the hard way that "Cute Mode" is a setting, not a personality.

Feed, Play, Rest, and Pet aren't instant — each one takes a moment to actually land, so yanking your hand back mid-action doesn't just waste the effort, it visibly rattles the bot and makes things worse. Nights are harder than days: energy burns faster, and a poorly-timed play session can do more harm than good. Survive eight days without your pet's hidden Threat meter maxing out, and you walk away with your very cute, very deadly companion still in cute mode. Fail, and you'll see exactly what's underneath.

A short, replayable dark-comedy tamagotchi built around one question: how long can you keep a Terminator convinced it's a puppy?
