Tongochi: Pet Game in Telegram

Remember the tamagotchi? A pet in an egg that demanded food, sleep and attention. Tongochi brings that idea to Telegram, adds a multiplayer world and a $PET token. The game runs on the TON blockchain. 🐸

The project's profile honestly calls itself a demo version still under work. Let us look at what it has and what to know before your first investment.

A pet that needs care

You get a virtual pet, described as a frog, give it a name and take care of it: feed it, play, put it to sleep and train it. It is all classic tamagotchi, only inside a messenger.

The point of caring is more than fun. The better developed the pet, the better its chances in the game world.

A world in the year 2094

When the pet is ready, it goes out into a pixel world shared with other users. The setting is 2094, after a nuclear blast, and the main hub is called Friend City.

In the world you fight mobs and collect bags with items and tokens. Some of the finds go into upgrading the pet.

What is known about the $PET token

• Purpose. In-game currency for the market and farming.
• How to get it. For rare items, tournament wins and event participation.
• Spending. By the project site, the token goes to rent game locations and pay for ad integrations, which burn it.
• NFT territories. A collection of 1,000 plots that can be rented to other players for $PET.

You can start without a wallet

You can play for free and without a crypto wallet. For people far from blockchain, that is convenient: first judge the game, then decide if you need crypto at all.

Bot commands: /main_menu opens the main menu, /help shows help, /setlanguage changes language, /gettz shows the timezone and /old_items sends a list of experimental NFTs.

Where the risks are

Play-to-earn games depend on a stream of new players. Figures for active users and trading volume found on third-party pages are dated, and the token price may sit near zero. Check recent activity in the official channels.

Buying NFTs and tokens is an investment, not a salary. You can lose the money entirely. ⚠️

Playing calmly

1. Start without a wallet and without spending.
2. See whether caring for a pet appeals to you.
3. Read news only in the project's official channels.
4. If you decide to invest, use only an amount you can afford to lose.
5. Enter a seed phrase nowhere except your own wallet.

For fans of retro games and pixel graphics, Tongochi may make a pleasant evening pastime. Do not treat it as a source of income.
