How is EmpathyWorks different from Tamagotchi® by Bandai, WiZ?
The EmpathyWorks Infant edition is similar to Tamagotchi in that both emulate an ego-centric individual, unable to form relationships with others. Tamagotchi owners spend their time attending to the needs of their Tamagotchi, but the Tamagotchi does not recognize them as unique individuals. Instead, Tamagotchi owners pretend to live their fantasies through their Tamagotchi, much like how children play with Barbie dolls. In contrast, all of the EmpathyWorks editions except Infant are able to interact with the specific individuals that send them events.
