Raise your very own Hatchi monster in this retro-inspired game.

Anyone who enjoyed the virtual pets that were made popular in the late ‘90s.

You don’t have to be a ‘90s kid to enjoy Hatchi. Your Hatchi monster will need to be hatched, fed, played with, bathed, and generally looked after to ensure it grows up happy and healthy. Hatchi monsters can also be pitted against each other in multiplayer battles. While you’re not tending to your Hatchi, you’re able to play some mini games including Whack a Hatchi and Hatchi Matchi.

You can’t resist adorable simulation games. Hatchi monsters aren’t just fun to take care of, they’re also a blast to play with.

You find tending to virtual pets monotonous. It’s the same tried and true formula from the ‘90s.
