Weyrdlets is the virtual desktop companion you didn't know you needed
Weyrdlets might look like a typical virtual pet game, but if you search beneath its adorable exterior, you’ll find it's secretly helping you with self-care.
It's ended up encouraging me to take proper screen breaks of my own so my eyes don’t feel the strain of staring at my monitor so much, and when my Weyrdlets need feeding or one of their stats has dropped dramatically, I'll ask myself the same questions to see if there are any needs I’ve been neglecting while working as well. Your Weyrdlet's stats are easy to parse at a glance, too, and if you don't spot the red ring indicating that something needs your attention, an icon will eventually appear above your pet's head to remind you they need to take action. | Image credit: Eurogamer/Weyrdworks As I've been typing all of this, my little Weyrdlet (called Milkshake) has been sitting happily on the back of its tiny boat with a fishing rod in the bottom right corner of my screen, oblivious to all the deadlines and things I need to do today.
