Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago launches to give you a new digital pet obsession, but with a pointless RPG twist

• Train your little elf pet and defeat the Frog Lord
• Or just play with your digital friend and relax
• Nostalgic retro-inspired images

If, like me, you spent hours desperately trying to get a pixelated pet from a tiny plastic egg to love you, then Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago might just be your thing. As a guardian spirit, you are tasked with raising and nurturing future heroes of the realm, so it is up to you to train your little baby elf into a mighty warrior who will save the world from all evil.

Or you can just play with them as your new digital friend. Who cares if the Fairy Queen and the dark forces of the Frog Lord threaten your world?

In Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago, you can relive that Tamagotchi feeling in a retro-inspired pet-raising sim-slash RPG, lovingly crafted by indie studio 14 Hours Productions. Protect your egg from the unforgiving weather and make sure you give it lots of love. Then train them to become an excellent member of the Adventurer’s Guild, or let them travel the country while you’re AFK.

When you think your little elf might be unnecessarily needy, that’s where the useless mechanics come into play: you can just enjoy your digital friend at your own pace.
