# MurBuddy

> MurBuddy is a cozy virtual pet game with AI chat. Core play is free in desktop and mobile browsers, with no download required.

MurBuddy is the game; a Buddy is the virtual pet you hatch, name, and care for.

- **Play:** Feed and care for your Buddy, respond to their needs and moods, and unlock activities, collections, and customization as they grow.
- **Getting started:** Start with an anonymous trial. Save your trial through Account before relying on cross-device progress or purchasing membership; see Support for the available account options.
- **Free access:** Hatching, care, and core play are free. Free chat uses recent conversation context and consumes Buddy energy; Buddy needs to rest when energy runs low.
- **Membership:** Optional membership adds long-term memory, longer chat context, and member badges and decorations. Member chat does not consume Buddy energy; service rate limits still apply.
- **Memory:** Long-term memory stores selected context from chats with the current Buddy, separately from chat history. AI-generated memories can be incomplete or incorrect. Saved memories can be reviewed, corrected, or deleted in Membership Center; learning and recall require eligible membership and enabled memory.
