Is there any virtual pet device/app where you are the pet? (lemmy.eco.br)

What I mean is, is there any virtual pet device or app where the pet actually represents you, the user, and in it you report if you have eaten, showered, exercised, how you're feeling, etc, and that is reflected in the pet/avatar? Could be a helpful thing for people with depression or any problem that makes them have difficulty for self care.

accomplishing your goals as a thriving family of four in a big house and then closing the game and realizing you've done absolutely nothing all day and it's dark outside

When I was broke and I was living with a roommate I bought a Humble Bundle with Sims 2 included. Played it for a while and eventually started a new save creating my roommate and myself in a small house the size of our apartment.

A couple hours in and the virtual two of us were sitting on a couch while virtual me played a video game. This was happening while my roommate and I were sitting on a couch and he was watching myself play the Sims (pc hooked up to television) watching the virtual us do the same thing.

The same thought hit us both at the same time. It got too existential for us at that point and I had to stop playing. I never picked the Sims up after that.
