Teo-watching Journal

I document my sightings and notes while observing the planet Teo in the game Fin Fin On Teo the Magic Planet. I also reblog and post about Finfin and Teo! I encourage anyone to also document their Teo-watching, and I would love to compare notes! For more information about Finfin and how to play the game, please refer to my pinned post!

Information Post

Hello! I have decided to begin documenting my sightings while playing Fin Fin On Teo the Magic Planet as if it were something akin to birdwatching. I will refer to this activity as Teo-watching!

Below are some Q&A style pieces of information, including things like what Finfin/Teo is and what I'm using to play the game!

What is Fin Fin?

The simple (and in my opinion, inaccurate) answer is that Fin Fin On Teo the Magic Planet is a virtual pet game set on an alien planet.

My answer is that it's a game that largely you can just put on while doing other things, and every so often you can interact with a creature named Fin Fin via your microphone or limited game actions.

Its interactivity is not at the level of the standard virtual pet game. You can feed Fin Fin if he Deigns to grace you with that honor, but there's little else in terms of having a direct impact on Fin Fin's health. Fin Fin is treated as a wild animal that you can get used to you over enough time, but you do not own.

As such, Fin Fin On Teo the Magic Planet is really more like a virtual birdwatching game set on an alien planet. But that's just my take on it!

What are you using to play Fin Fin?

I use Fin Fin on QEMU by jadetank! I am specifically using version 2.2

Why are you doing this?

While I already know quite a lot about Fin Fin and Teo, I don't know everything. And I have a suspicion that's the case for most if not all people who are interested in this game right now. I believe this will be a fun activity for me, while also providing data for the community. There's also so, so few concrete images and other media regarding the game, so I feel even providing the odd screenshot may help the amount of information about the game out there.

Admittedly, this is all rather experimental and rocky at this point. But I will endeavor to keep this up as best I can and provide helpful information.

My last plush of 2025 was this little Finfin I made for a friend. Lovely number 11 on my list of plushies! He was made with @livinginteo ‘s free pattern, which I greatly appreciated as I certainly did not have time to make a pattern myself! Thank you 🥰
