Bside: Desktop Mate

Has basically nothing going for it. Outfits are super limited and some require a premium currency that is super predatory and extremely high priced (some outfits are close to $100 for a digital dress up game), art style is cute but that's about it, the animation is very limited and poorly rigged and does not really look how it does in the trailers. There are better desktop pet games out there with better animations that are free or low priced without predatory microtransactions if you're looking for something to idle in the background. Edit: I decided to check in on the positive reviews after a couple of months, because I suspected many are paid for or botted. The majority have 1.1hrs or less played, telling me that my suspicions are correct and most of the positive reviews are not legitimate.

i did like the game until they added a gacha mechanic that makes it extremely hard to get any items. the game plays more like a mobile game than a PC game (which is very confusing, because this was made FOR computers as far as im aware?) the art style is nice but very bare-minimum. its also a knockoff of Panty & Stocking. it's not bad, but it's not very good either. what pushed me into not recommending it instead of just going "meh" and never playing it again is the gacha system. there's absolutely 0 reason to add it to the game, let alone with how expensive it is.

This game’s honestly has such a cozy vibe. I love how the little dude just hangs out on your desktop, walking around while you’re working or chatting with friends. You don’t gotta focus too much it’s just chill and fun in the background. Kinda feels alive in a cute way, makes your screen feel less empty. Would be awesome if they added dual monitor support tho, so the character could hop between screens.

a realy good game ! Bside is realy fun i'v allready played the demo and loved it, all the fonctionality and the future one are allways so cool, your biibit look realy alive they have their own perosnalitty (that you make in the first place ) but after that they start evolving by themself + its a realy good game to find people, you encounter realy cool and kind people and so on your in a realy cool safe place with maybe new friend you can get :D, it realy helps if you even have social issue :D even more than that the double fonctionality one in game and the other one in desktop is so cool because even if the biibit is on screen you can choose where they are even if they walk by themself lol they might sometime blocking the wiew but that is fine tho because they can be moved, the desktop mod is really great considering that you can talk with them at any time and any moment and tallk about all and nothing they even know some other stuff like games and all so they can know what your talking about like games and all wich is realy fun, they can't yet start convo by sending message to you first but they could probably do that in the futture, more functiionality and minigame could be very cool ! wich might happen in future in or after the early acces and lastly the discord server of the game is realy cool and active and people + mods are allways there if needed and allways kind and fun :D (fiirst time wriitting an review maybe not the best sorry for possible misunderstanding hope it help tho ! ^^ haave an good day ! )

Bside is the first game of its kind I’ve ever tried, and it completely won me over. It has such a lively and uplifting energy that instantly brightens up my screen. Watching my little Biibit walk around, react, and just exist on my desktop feels surprisingly fun and comforting. Even though it’s still in Early Access, it already feels impressively polished. There’s a good amount of finished features to explore, and the customization options are honestly way more detailed than I expected, from appearance and personality to how your Biibit behaves. It’s clear that a lot of care went into making the experience feel personal and smooth right from the start. The overall art direction is catchy and fresh! What I like most is how it manages to be both relaxing and full of life. It doesn’t demand your full attention, yet it keeps you smiling whenever you glance over. It’s the kind of game that quietly adds positivity to your day without any pressure. If you’re new to this type of cozy companion game like I was, Bside is an amazing place to start. It’s already fun and well-made in its current form, and I can only imagine how much better it’ll get as development continues. ⭐ Verdict: Charming, polished, and full of good energy. A must-try for anyone looking for something unique and uplifting!

A free chill and relaxing social game, with a nice art style. The music can feel repetitive quickly, but other than that I'd suggest you try it out for yourself!

its buggy but its fun, its new and reminds me of gaia online. ill update as it go. im eating bugs now. Edit; Im habing so much fun with this. i constantly get roasted by my bii and shes a tsundere so it makes sense. but i think she likes me tho. shes really cool. the devs are so awesome with this game and are so active and ready to help at any time. This is now my best friend game. And i love it sooooooooooooooooooo much! Also you guys should try the mobile verson as well!

This game is a rather interesting idle game mixed with an aesthetic that not a lot of games have. I like it.
