Description
Peridot fulfills your fantasy of bonding with a magical, brag-worthy creature that can fly through the air, always wants to be by your side, and might have a secret love for turkey sandwiches. With the power of AR, this pet simulation game places whimsical beings known as Peridots (“Dots“ for short) in the real world with you. And with Peridot, playing with friends is better, simple as that. Meet up with your besties IRL to Hatch new Dots that will inherit the Traits of their parents, then snap a pic and share it with your friends!
_______________
ADOPT your very own Peridot, creatures that feel and look totally real. Each Dot has unique DNA which makes them a truly special companion made just for you.
NURTURE your creatures and help them live their best lives. Play fetch, teach them how to shake their butt, give them belly rubs, and dress them up in hats, mustaches, bowties, and more!
EXPLORE the world, get outside, and see the world in a new way through your Dot’s eyes. Your Dot is curious about the environment and might uncover hidden items depending on where you adventure with them. When your Dot is looking particularly adorable, snap photos and videos to share with your friends on social.
COLLABORATE with your friends and other players to breed your Dots together and Hatch entirely new Dots that are genetically unique. Discover together what’s possible and encounter endless possibilities of Peridot Archetypes that resemble some of your favorite animals, including cheetahs, unicorns, peacocks, and more. You can even combine and pass down these rare Traits to the future generations of Dots.
EXPAND your beloved family of Dots by unlocking badass Peridot Archetypes and Traits as you climb the ranks within the Peridot Keeper Society.
EXPERIENCE a rich narrative as you learn about the mysterious ancient past of these creatures and work to preserve the species for future generations.
Join this heartwarming journey today and rediscover just how beautiful the world around you truly is.

Editors’ Notes
We love how Peridot’s cute, fantastical AR pets will even sniff real-world flowers.
Very relaxing and comforting! 💚⭐️
This game has changed so much sense release mostly for the better! Nests are now free and quite easy to get if you have been playing for a little while not to mention how relaxing it is to feed and care for your dots it’s a great way to keep yourself entertained when you’re waiting somewhere or just bored. Hatching new dots is addicting so you can quickly end up with more dots then you can manage which can become a problem but at least having lots of dots is a quick and easy way to level up and insures you never get bored. The chaos traits are a bit of a mixed bag though some of them are really cute and unique and others are just ugly and glitch wildly on screen however if you don’t want any on your dots they are easy to avoid and discovering traits is really fun so overall I think there a good addition to the game! A big shame though is that no more official traits seem to be added along with the archetype contests where fans can submit their ideas it really is a bummer to see that go I hope they continue adding those in the future Oh also the music and sound effects are a nice touch. Overall I really love this game I play it daily and the community’s for it on campfire are lovely I will continue to play and enjoy my adorable little pets!
Thanks for reading my review…….YOU CLOD!
Ha ha im just kidding! 💚
Good idea - but pay to play and buggy
I love the feel of raising and caring for your dots. Love playing with them, feeding them, teaching them tricks. But there are some massive issues that right now I can’t overlook.
The biggest issue is that you need to spend money (and a lot of it!) to get nests to raise more dots. $5 per nest, with only 1 free, is ridiculous when a main draw for this game was to breed and raise multiple dots. Can’t do that without nests, and the only way to get those is spend money. Hard pass.
The other issues I have are the bugs in the game itself. It often stops responding or recognizing locations/people/animals and has to be closed and reopened to have the hope that it will recognize things. The forced AR is a battery draining nightmare and while it’s cute to see your dot in your environment it often glitches and disappears or has missing cells. The game has no ability to sense things when it is even remotely dark out (I will often take walks after dark to wind down and I hoped to be able to play with my dot during them). The dots want you to feed them specific foods or play with specific balls, but the random generation of items means you can be searching for a ball type or food for 10 minutes without finding it - and good luck if you need an item from a biome that you can’t currently access.
TLDR: Overall I love the idea. The pay to play makes the game unplayable. And the glitches and battery draining aspects are also difficult to manage.
