Whimside, an indie game featured in Steam's Creature Collector Fest, offers a fresh take on the traditional monster-catching genre. Focusing on collecting and breeding creatures rather than combat, it presents players with adorable procedurally generated critters composed of various random parts and colors. This unique design creates a large variety of creatures, keeping the gameplay engaging and appealing to obsessive shiny hunters. While it lacks the distinctive personalities found in games like Pokémon, its charm lies in its cuteness and collectible variety, making it an attractive idle game option.
When you boot up Whimside, it sits at the bottom of your monitor, showing a field full of critters romping around. Unlike in Pokémon, there isn't an encyclopedia full of bespoke monsters.
Each creature is made of a random collection of parts - heads, bodies, ears, and tails - with one of several color palettes, so there's a huge variety of critters available.
