SQOOL Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kenji Kato), a company that operates game media and provides game marketing support, today, July 20, 2026, released "Sill Sticks," a desktop-resident idle
app, free to download on Steam, the PC gaming platform.
"Sill Sticks" is a desktop-resident idle app in which you simply watch over "Bota," a lazy stick figure who has taken up residence on your desktop. It is a sister app to "Sill Cats," the popular desktop-resident pet app the company released in May 2026.

About the App
Bota is a stick figure who is sloppy, always slacking off, a bit of a handful, and yet somehow impossible to dislike. He grumbles his way through each day as he lazes about, and yet he also looks somehow
content. Bota admires cats, has a weakness for sweets, holes up indoors at every opportunity, and spends his days on games, TV, and sleep. The app simply lets you glance in on his mutterings during
breaks in your work. "Sill Sticks" will continue to receive gradual updates going forward.
Pricing and DLC
The main app is free to download. By purchasing paid downloadable content (DLC), users can add dress-up features or add additional stick figures.
There are two paid DLCs:
・Color & Dress-Up Pack: Adds color-change and dress-up features for Bota
・Partner Pack: Adds a new stick figure
From today, July 20, 2026 through August 3, both DLCs are available at 10% off as a launch sale.
