Weyrdlets is a quirky free-to-play virtual desktop pet game developed by Malaysia-based Weyrdworks. The game is out now and is getting a new round of content update.
The Bright Days & Cozy Nights Update brings in a day-and-night cycle, which will see the island where you adorable little desktop buddy resides in full screen mode will get all dark for the first time. The update also adds new furniture to decorate the island, including lamps and lanterns.
Speaking of lanterns, there will be a special limited-time in-game event to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Players can light up the island with glowing lanterns and feed mooncakes to their pets, for good luck.
Weyrdlets, released last July, brings back the nostalgic days of the early 2000s where people who surfs the internet would download desktop toys and pets that hang out on the computer desktop.
What Weyrdlets does more than your typical Desktop Toa or other desktop toys of thee yesteryears is that it also allows players interact with the grearter community of Weyrdlets players where they can send friendly messages. trade in-game items and hang out in shared spaces. Which explains why this game has limited-time events. And in-app purchases.
Weyrdlets is free-to-play and is out now on PC (Steam).
