BitBuddy FREE

Low budget indie games tend to be some of the most creative around, assuming they aren't just flipping assets poorly in Unity. Without the budget to create an epic, the creators instead need to focus on one unique feature to make their games stick out. From these restrictions come some truly inventive concepts. One of them is BitBuddy, a Tamagachi-like game where the pet has a disturbing sense of self preservation. 

To play BitBuddy, simply run the executable after unzipping it to a folder.

The premise of this game is...incredibly disturbing. As soon as you boot the game up, the BitBuddy will beg you to not close the game and inform you that he doesn't want to die. He will also go on to say "I don't have much to live for, but I still don't want to die". That is the heavy theme with which this game starts you off. Your buddy will eventually die and it's up to you how you spend your time together.

The game gets really meta at times. For instance, if you spam the feed button, treats will eventually fill the screen and your buddy will beg you to stop because the game might crash and kill him. The normal story, however, is you using promo codes to play minigames with your pet. However, your pet will only live for 24 hours regardless, and the story will end with the pet dying from simple old age.

It's an incredibly heartwarming ending and a fantastic reason to play this game.

All in all, if you want to play a game with an incredibly unique premise, then you should give BitBuddy a download.
