After a brief stint in a beta phase on Android devices, Hyperbeard’s Neko Atsume–like Adorable Home game has officially launched on both Android and Apple iOS devices. This is another entry in the “wait and see” sort of games where people pop in, perform a few actions to earn currency and check in on their surroundings, then go about the rest of their day until they feel like visiting again.
In Adorable Home, players first pick their avatar from an assortment of different options, then choose a second person to act as their partner. After that, you find yourself in a new, relatively empty home with your partner and your first cat, Snow. You then can start acquiring Love, the game’s currency, by feeding Snow and making lunches for your partner. If you leave, then come back, there is a chance you could acquire new “Moments” photographs of your pets and characters doing cute things.
Unlike Neko Atsume, Adorable Home has minigames connected to animals. For example, you can tap a cat to bathe them, cut their nails, or pet them to earn more love. (Bathing involves using the phone’s accelerometer to determine the water’s temperature while using the touch screen to hold the showerhead over the cat.)
Love can be spent on a variety of items. You can buy a garden space, furniture for the living room, bento boxes for your partner’s meals, food for your partner’s meals, and additional cats.
Adorable Home is immediately available on both Android and Apple iOS devices.
