Have you ever got a new cat, and spent months trying to understand the animal's unique personality?

Plaything re-enacts this on a digital level, but it’s not a cat, it is a new species created by shapes selected by you. Each set of shapes will affect its personality, and that is where the gameplay exists.

With no verbal prompts or instructions, it is up to you to ensure your new plaything lives a safe, stimulating and happy life, but you can only rely on facial expressions and unique behaviours from your plaything to determine how successful you have been.

This simplistic, yet charming looking game is still in development, but is scheduled for a 2020 release. Platforms to be confirmed.

While details about the gameplay elements of Plaything are scarce, its core idea is intriguing to say the least. Maybe this can be the game to finally surpass Nintendogs when it comes to interactive and stimulating virtual pets.
