Chill Capy
A capybara to come home to.
He lives in a hot spring, wears a yuzu on his head, and is doing amazing. Feed him, bathe him, soak with him, dress him in ridiculous hats — with the one promise old-school pets never made: he never dies, never leaves, never scolds.
The onsen follows your clock.
Sunrise light at breakfast, stars and steam after dark. It's daytime where you are, so that's how the scene above opened. Tap one to peek at the rest.
Four meters, four verbs, and nothing bad ever happens.
Food, energy, clean and fun drift on real time — including while the app is closed — and his mood, his expression and what he says all follow from them. Care is a warm little routine, not a hostage situation.
Feed
Eight snacks with real tradeoffs — watermelon is a treat, grass roll is a meal.
Bathe
Scruffy fur is the worst that neglect does. A bath fixes it, and he enjoys it enormously.
Soak
He slides into the water for a ten-minute mood buff. Floats show while he's in.
Sleep
Lights out: the scene goes to night and energy regenerates while you do your own thing.
Small app, big onsen.
Five tabs and three games. Here's the whole tour.
Habitat
Your status screen is a living scene. Friends move in as you level: a bird, a turtle, a duck, a frog.
Play
Yuzu Drop, Bubble Pop and Steam Says. Thirty seconds each, coins and XP out the other end.
Shop
Snacks, 26 fits across four slots, decor that shows up in the scene. Previews are the real capybara in the real hat.
Friends
Your capy as a QR code. Scan a friend's and they soak together; friendship pays daily.
Journal
Days together, lifetime stats, your collection, ~30 achievements, and a share card for the feed.
Chill Club
The onsen's optional VIP section. Same capybara, considerably more perks — details below.
Retention through rewards. Never guilt.
Classic pets trained you with dread. Modern players uninstall dread. So Capy makes three promises, and the whole game is built on them.
He never dies
Stats droop, he gets a bit scruffy and dramatic about snacks. That's the ceiling of bad.
He never leaves
Offline drift is capped at eighteen hours. A week away reads as "he missed you", and the recap on return says so.
He never scolds
Notifications are one care nudge, one streak reminder, one comeback note — local, opt-in, off by default. Streak freezes exist because life happens.
Gentle, but weirdly competitive.
Each costs a little energy so play feeds the care loop, and each pays coins, XP and fun.
Yuzu Drop
Three lanes, falling citrus, a golden yuzu worth three. It speeds up over 45 seconds and you will absolutely try again.
Bubble Pop
Pop the fizz before it floats away. Thirty seconds, and a zen streak for keeping your cool.
Steam Says
The onsen stones hum a growing pattern — four soft pentatonic tones. Hum it back until you slip.
Your capy is a scannable code.
Meet a friend, scan each other, and your capybaras soak together. Friendship grows to five hearts and pays coins every day. No account and no server — the same Capy Code is plain text, so it works over any messenger too, for friends who aren't in the room.
- Scan in person, or paste a Capy Code from anywhere
- Both of you profit — daily, per friend
- Share cards for your capy, level and streak
- Nothing leaves the device except what you choose to send
The camera is used only when you tap "Scan a friend's QR". No photos are taken or stored.
Optional — and every perk is a daily one.
The onsen's VIP section. Same capybara, considerably more perks, built so there's a reason to be a member every single day rather than once.
- Zero interruptions — all interstitial ads removed, forever
- 3 gems every day, with your daily reward
- 1.5× coins on games, quests and playdates
- Streak armor — missed days never break your streak
- Exclusive fits: the Captain's Hat and Gold Chain
- Reward-calendar protection
Gem packs are one-time purchases. The pet, the games and the care loop are never paywalled, and nothing is gated behind watching an ad.
The short answers.
Is it free?
Yes — the pet, the games and the care loop are never paywalled. Chill Club is an optional subscription (with a lifetime option) that removes interstitial ads, adds daily gems, boosts coins, protects your streak and unlocks member-only fits. Gem packs are one-time purchases.
Can he die?
No. Never. That's the whole point. Neglect makes him scruffy and a bit dramatic about snacks, and that's as bad as it gets. Coming back is always a happy event.
What about ads?
Most ads are rewarded videos you choose to watch — double a payout, top up coins, refill energy, one free daily gem. A brief interstitial can appear after every third mini-game, never during care, never on your first day, and Chill Club members never see one. No banners, ever.
Do I need an account?
No sign-up, no login, no server. Your capybara lives on your device — even playdates work device-to-device by QR code or a pasted Capy Code.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Care, games, streaks, the wardrobe — all on the device. The only things that need a connection are ads and purchases.
Is the capybara scientifically accurate?
He is the largest rodent on Earth, he loves hot springs, and other animals genuinely enjoy sitting on him. The app also delivers one real capybara fact per day, so you'll both be learning.
The world is a lot.
The onsen is not.
Free. No account. He's already in the water.
