'Schitt's Creek' inspired game makes you take care of David's 6 Tamagotchis
Schitt's Creek's Alexis Rose is perhaps best known for her all-singing, all-dancing performance of her hit (?) single, "A Little Bit Alexis."
But who could forget she's also the person who was once left in charge of six Tamagotchis and killed every single one of them. Here to immortalise that feat of human negligence is a game called Turbogatchi, created by Niantic, Inc game designer Joe Magdalena.
In Season 5 of Schitt's Creek, you might recall David Rose (Dan Levy) feeling hesitant to entrust his shop to the hands of his sister. "Is this about those stupid Tamagotchis?" Alexis asks David. "You left me with six of them, David. Taking care of that many is like a full-time job!"
Why so mistrustful, you might rightly ask? Well, all six of those Tamagotchis departed this mortal coil.

Turns out, it's pretty challenging. You've got to feed them, clean them, and pick up after them. I managed to keep mine thriving for 40 days, according to the game.
"Your brother David has left you, Alexis, in charge of his 6 ADULT virtual pets that are in PERFECT HEALTH! How long can you keep them all alive and happy," reads Magdalena's description of the game. "After they’re all dead (they WILL die) you’ll get a score for how long they all stayed alive for. Be sure to share and brag about your highest score!"
Eww, David!
