Your Gotchipus Needs You

Unlike static NFTs, your Gotchipus is a living entity with four dynamic states that decay in real time. Without your care, it deteriorates. With consistent attention, it thrives.

​
Dynamic States

StateDecay RateImpact
Health-1.0 per hourPhysical condition — low health means vulnerability
Energy-2.0 per hourStamina — low energy limits activity
Morale-2.0 per hourEmotional well-being — low morale means sadness
Focus-1.0 per hourMental clarity — low focus impairs decision-making
All states range from 0 to 100. Decay is calculated based on real time elapsed since your last interaction, so your Gotchipus doesn’t “pause” when you’re away — it continues to need care.
Energy and Morale decay twice as fast as Health and Focus. Prioritize regular interaction to keep your companion in good spirits.

​
Petting

The pet action is currently the primary way to care for your Gotchipus:

Cooldown24 hours
You can pet your Gotchipus once per day. This simple daily ritual is the foundation of the care loop — it keeps your Gotchipus healthy and generates experience for leveling.

​
Mood

Your Gotchipus’s mood reflects its overall well-being:
MoodWhat It Means
HappyRecently cared for, high states
ExcitedHigh energy and morale
FocusedHigh focus, moderate energy
TiredLow energy
SadLow morale
RestingVery low states, self-recovering
Mood is visible in the UI and influences how your Gotchipus behaves in the AI Terminal.

​
The Vitality Factor

Your Gotchipus’s Vitality (VIT) attribute directly reduces the rate of state decay. Higher VIT means:
  • States decay more slowly
  • You can go longer between interactions without penalty
  • Your Gotchipus is more “self-sufficient”
This creates a meaningful trade-off: invest in VIT for a low-maintenance companion, or invest in offensive stats and commit to more frequent care.

​
Care Philosophy

The care system is designed to reward consistency over intensity:
  • You can’t “binge care” your Gotchipus — one pet per day, no more
  • Missing a day isn’t catastrophic — states drop but don’t cause permanent damage
  • Long-term neglect has consequences — states can reach zero
  • Automation through Hooks and Sessions can help maintain your Gotchipus when you’re away
Your Gotchipus is a companion, not a chore. The care system is meant to create a genuine sense of bond through regular, low-effort interaction.
