Peridot, a video game from the makers of Pokémon Go, is using AR to energize audiences of all ages. Niantic launched the game officially on May 9, making it available for download both on Google Play and the App Store. Inspired by the popular pet games of the late nineties and early aughts like Tamagotchi and Neopets, the app allows users to "hatch" a creature and watch it explore the world around them. Unlike Tamagotchi, the pet sims will keep their owner's company for however long without dying. Players are presented at the start of the game with three eggs.
