“Whether it’s remembrance or longing, we offer you a new beginning.”

Let Companionship Go Beyond Limits
Whether you’re looking for a lost partner or just can’t have one in real life, we want this to be your safe refuge💗
In real life, many people have lost their closest companions and can only remember them through old photographs. Others adore animals but are unable to have one due to housing restrictions, allergies, studies, financial constraints, or lack of time. They all want the same thing: smooth breathing, patient company, and unconditional affection.
The Companion Diary was made for them. With face customisation and augmented reality co-presence, your buddy returns to your side in a gentle and regulated cadence. One minute of daily care and mini-games goes into a Memory Album, transforming longing into a daily routine. It does not replace reality; rather, it creates a realm beyond it into which you can come, pause, and share whenever you need companionship.
Recreate the look of the pet you know best.
Our technology generates a highly accurate 3D prototype by combining coat-pattern boundaries and face landmarks from one to three front or side photographs that you supply. To achieve the “most like them” look, you can change the nose curve, eye distance, ear length, markings, and even import frames from prior recordings. Restoring presence—the hesitant double wag, the slight ear lift when you say their name, the half-second pause in their gaze—is our goal, not merely likeness. Customisation is more like reconnecting with an old friend than completing a model.
As if right beside you—soft and real.
High-definition fur rendering provides each strand with precise directionality and beautiful depth. Instead of a harsh glare, the illumination is soft, like afternoon window light. As you lean in closer, the coat trembles slightly, and the dorsal fur blows softly in the breeze. Strokes with haptic aid provide a fine, pleasant resistance. You should perceive what you see as warmth that you naturally want to touch, not as a “model.”
Mood Mirror
Pets in Companion Diary function as both emotional reflections and companions. The “Mood Mirror” tool detects players’ emotions by analysing their tone, phrases, and even facial expressions. When you’ve been away, it gently reminds you of its presence, rejoices with you in delight, and soothes you in sadness. It’s more than simply a game; it’s about digital empathy.
It understands you—and keeps you company.
Your pet learns and develops rhythm alongside you; it is not a collection of pre-recorded lyrics. Say “let’s go,” and it glances at the door; sigh, and it approaches. It can recognise instructions and tones. It attracts you to the grass in the summer and coils about your feet on wet days. Training feels like a shared habit, rather than a checklist. “Three sit-downs today, deal?” — “Woof!” It responds to need and emotion in discussion bubbles, sometimes clumsily but always trying, and this subtle imperfection gives it life.
Player: “Want to go out and play?”
Pet: “Woof! Let’s go!”
Companionship is a journey of exploration.
This is a family book that you make together, not a numbers race. A mild breeding process progressively unlocks breeds and coats ranging from pale cream to mist-grey gradients, a little forehead blaze to a constellation-like gloss. Rarity has a narrative meaning: pawprints in the fall produce distinct patterns on fallen leaves, and pups with specific temperaments shine brighter-eyed in moonlight on specific nights. There is no need for limitless cycles because each mechanic is carefully designed. Each meeting is a gift.
Mini-games
Mini-games portray scenarios from everyday life, such as morning walks, sitting by the window to listen to the rain, and twilight fetch. They’re vigourous but leisurely—a three-minute run to get some fresh air or a quiet gaze at one’s reflection in a fishing pond. We value small pleasures that last: it waits for applause after a beautiful catch, and it nudges the ball to your feet after a miss, eyes asking, “One more time?”
