Onigotchi -v1.04- -BadColor- is a small virtual pet / tamagotchi-style experience with horror and glitch aesthetics. This guide covers core mechanics, commands/controls, goals, and tips for reaching different endings.
If you do manage to run it, use a virtual machine with color depth forced to 16-bit. Disable network adapters. Do not run it on an OLED display (reports of persistent BadColor image retention on OLEDs emerged in 2019 from a curator at the Museum of Obsolete Media). And most importantly, do not attempt to “save” the pet. There is no good ending. The pet’s final evolution—reached after 24 hours of real time regardless of care—is not death. It is (void demon). Its sprite is a single pixel of #FF00C2 . The game window becomes that color. The sound stops. The process cannot be killed via Task Manager. You must power off the system.
