Eight tiny creatures.
Enormous problems.

Degenchi is a tamagotchi for degenerates. Eight very cute critters, each hooked on something, each one referred to only by its own ridiculous nickname. Keep them fed, keep them calm, and try to stop anybody having a meltdown in public.

The roster

Meet the crew

Adopt one for free, then earn the rest. Every critter has its own palette, its own decay rates, and its own quirk that changes how you have to babysit it.

Puff

Cloud Bun
🚬Smoky Sticks

Needs a Smoky Stick every twenty minutes. Gets genuinely unpleasant without one.

🧬 Chain Bun

Fizzy

Bubble Bear
🍺Bubbly Juice

Loves you. Loves everyone. Cannot walk. Crashes about an hour later.

🧬 The Crash

Nugget

Sleepy Sprout
🌿Green Snacks

The chillest thing alive, right up until he eats your entire pantry.

🧬 Munchies

Chip

Lucky Kit
🎰Spinny Coins

Down bad, up next. He has a system. The system does not work.

🧬 Degen Luck

Bean

Jitter Owl
Bean Juice

Has not blinked since Tuesday. Has already restructured your kitchen twice.

🧬 Wired

Wobble

Melty Lotl
💊Happy Buttons

Feels nothing, in a nice way. Very low maintenance, very hard to reach.

🧬 Numb

Shroomie

Giggle Cap
🍄Giggle Caps

Currently talking to your lamp. The lamp appears to be answering.

🧬 Visions

Sugar

Frost Chin
❄️Sparkle Sugar

Talks fast, has a business idea, and is quietly falling apart.

🧬 Fast Burn

The loop

Craving is the whole game

It climbs in real time whether the app is open or not. What you do about it is the entire product.

Chilling

Fiending

Meltdown

Blissed out

🔥
01

The craving climbs

It only ever goes up. Every dose you hand over raises their tolerance, so it comes back faster and hits softer the next time.

😰
02

They start to lose it

Past seventy they are fiending, and their mood bleeds out while they wait. At ninety five it is a full meltdown, the screen shakes, and health drains until you do something.

03

You sort it out

Hand over the goods, get some real food into them, play with them, or book a weekend retreat and wipe their tolerance back to zero. They will be furious about that one.

🎯
04

Then do it again tomorrow

Three fresh challenges roll at midnight, the streak bonus grows for showing up, and there are forty skins waiting to be bought.

Collection

Forty skins. Zero loot boxes.

Every skin has a fixed price in Degen Bucks. You buy the exact one you want and you can see what it costs before you spend anything. No cases, no odds, no gambling for cosmetics.

What is in it

Built like a real pet, not a timer

It runs while you are gone

Craving, fullness, mood, energy and health all move on real world time. Close the app for six hours and you come back to consequences.

🎭

Nine faces each

Every critter is hand drawn for chilling, thriving, blissed out, fiending, meltdown, down bad, starving, running on empty and rough shape.

🧬

Everyone breaks differently

Nugget burns food twice as fast. Bean never sleeps but his mood swings wildly. Sugar spikes hardest and falls apart quickest.

🎰

The Lucky Wheel

Chip lives here. Fake money, rigged odds, triple sevens pay fifty to one. Losing is the entire point of the bit.

🎨

Forty skins

Five per critter across five rarity tiers. Every prop recolours with them, from Chip visor to Shroomie cap.

🚫

No loot boxes. At all.

Every skin has a fixed price and you buy the exact one you want. No cases, no odds, no gambling for cosmetics.

Questions

The obvious ones

Is this actually about drugs?+

It is a comedy game about cartoon animals with bad habits. Nothing in it is advice, an endorsement, or remotely realistic. The money is fake and the healthiest thing in the shop is sparkling water.

Do I have to pay to play?+

No. Everything is earnable. Daily challenges and the Lucky Wheel pay Degen Bucks, and you can watch an optional ad for a top up if you want to move faster.

Are there loot boxes?+

None. Skins have fixed prices and you buy the specific one you want. We built cases first and then deleted them, because a game about compulsion loops should not run on one.

What about my pets while the app is closed?+

They keep going. Stats decay on wall clock time, capped so a week away does not wipe everyone out the second you open it.

Somebody has to look after them

It may as well be you. Free to play, no loot boxes, and the healthiest thing in the shop is sparkling water.

DEGENCHI

Cartoon nonsense for grown ups. Nothing here is advice, an endorsement, or remotely realistic. The money is fake, the slot machine is rigged against you on purpose, and no actual creatures were enabled in the making of this app.
