Required ageNone

You only have one week to befriend the one who lives on the other side of the screen. He’s waiting for you, remembers all your visits, and even notices how long you’re gone. Play mini-games, listen to his thoughts, and simply watch how the world around you changes.

This is a story about friendship with someone who lives right inside your computer. Buddy never forgets a single one of your meetings and always notices when you’ve been gone for too long. You have exactly seven days. Listen to his monologues, play mini-games, and watch how everything around you changes. Your attention will determine the ending of this story. And the moments you share will remain as 11 achievements.
