When I first got my hands on a Tamagotchi, I really enjoyed it, and always wanted to play more of it, but every time i attempt to play with it / something similar, I always get disinterested within the same session.
I realized that I was hooked the first time because it was novel/new and it felt like I was interacting with something that I had no idea how it works, then after i figured out that its a strict series of patterns resulting in knowing it as an easily predictable experience is why I lost interest. This is why cats or dogs, among other reasons, are more interesting/entertaining than something like a Tamagotchi.
What would make me want get hooked again on something like a Tamagotchi, is increasing the dynamic-ness of such a thing, and with AI that can become possible now, an autonomous Tamagotchi. Looking forward to whoever makes it and basically have infinite variations of it.
