In a time of growing social isolation, young adults often crave interaction, but face barriers like fear of rejection, or the ease of passive habits like scrolling or streaming. This makes going solo the default.
Social Creatures take the first step for you—removing the pressure of initiating plans. Designed to live in your home and be shared among friends, each one observes your behavior and responds to environmental cues, with distinct personalities shaped by their context, triggers, and animal mentors.
