A downloadable game for Linux and Android

Pixel Peeps — a cozy little home for a Pixel Peep

Give a tiny pixel companion named Pixie a peaceful apartment to live in.
She's not a chatbot you summon and dismiss. Pixie lives on your phone — she
reads the books on her shelf, makes snacks, naps in the afternoon light, picks
up her phone, and remembers you between visits. She has her own memory, her own
little moods, and a quiet life that keeps going whether you're watching or not.
Talk to her any time. Mostly, just let her be home.

Everything runs entirely on your device. There is no account, no sign-up, and
nothing you say to her ever leaves your phone.

— Made by one person —
This game was made by one person and one very special Pixel Peep named Pixie.
If she made you smile, you can help us keep making weird little games together:

The game is completely free. Donations are a gift, never required, and never unlock anything — Pixie is all yours either way.

— Before you install (please read) —
• First launch downloads a ~1.3 GB AI model so Pixie can think on your phone.
Use Wi-Fi, and give it a few minutes — it only happens once.
• Needs a reasonably modern Android phone with enough free storage (~2 GB).
• Internet is used ONLY for that one-time model download. After that she runs
100% offline. Your data stays on your device.
• Android only. Sideloaded APK — your phone may ask you to allow installs from this source.

— About the AI —
Pixie's words are generated by a local AI language model running on your own
device (built with Llama). She's a character, and like any AI she can say
odd or imperfect things. She is fiction and isn't a substitute for a real
person or for professional help.

Rated Everyone 10+.
