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.

Pets are super cute. Great graphics. Great animations. Great concept. But you can't release a game and lock your core gameplay mechanic behind a pay wall. The point of the game is to breed your pet to attain new traits and archetypes. But every breeding costs 6 €. That's insane. There's nothing else to aim for in the game once your pet reaches adulthood, which takes maybe 2 days. No achievements, no contests, no finding wild pets, nothing. Sadly, this game seems to be vastly mismanaged. :(

Thank you for your feedback. We've recently introduced additional opportunities to earn Nests in-game, such as by actively playing each day, by leveling up, and for special quests each month. We hope you give Peridot another try!

The game itself looks great and is fun to play. However. The monetization is atrocious. You want to breed your pet? Pay 5 USD for the nest. Traits cannot be inherited by the parents of you haven't unlocked them with your player level. You want a specific trait unlocked in the breeding process? You need to pay a hefty amount in the ingame currency which you can only get for real money. I tested it and it was like 15 USD for the gems = 20 USD for the breeding. Too expensive to play for longer.
