Indie game Weyrdlets, which is a virtual pet game that blends productivity with entertainment, is coming out soon.

How soon are we talking about? Try next month, according to developers Weyrdworks (who are based in Malaysia). The developer has announced that the game is coming out on PC (Steam) on 23 July. Not only do you have a virtual pet online to chill and hang out with, you can customize it with gear aplenty and also play with it in different virtual arenas, or even on your desktop.

Embark on a heartwarming journey with Weyrdlets, where joy meets productivity. Adopt a lovable companion in this community-driven virtual pet simulator. Interact, decorate and bring joy to not only your gaming but also working experience.

This is a rare genre of games, so it’s nice to see some indie game devs doing something in this field, especially ones in our backyard. For more on Weyrdlets, check out our segment on the game developer on our TV show Main Game (at the 9:56 timestamp). Oh, and you can wishlist the game here.
