Neko Atsume VR offers players the chance to get close and cozy with their favorite kitties. This looks like such a fun and relaxing experience! I really hope we get an English PSVR release soon.
Fittingly for #WholesomeSnack, our last game is a real treat! I haven't laughed this hard at a trailer since Untitled Goose Game 🤣 @LittleKittyGame put together a good one and I couldn't resist saving it for last. Thanks to all the devs who brought this showcase to life 💖
Hello Kitty Island Adventure is an open-world adventure that, based on the trailer, is very much in the style of Animal Crossing.
"Welcome to Big Adventures Park! Join your new friends in a gorgeous world with adorable creatures, delicious food, and many mysteries to explore."
Explore a lovingly crafted world with all its odd inhabitants as you deliver messages to the spirits in Tiny Echo by @MightAndDelight. Puzzles, quirky hand-drawn graphics, a tranquil setting, and diligent mail delivery. How lovely. 💌
You're on a mission to save your favorite toy in Doggone Hungry! "Charm humans to earn tasty treats, scavenge for snacks, and grow bigger in this short, delectable adventure." This is a student project available for free on Steam.
"inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories" is a slice-of-life game centered around a small-town convenience store in the early 1990s. Stock the shelves, have meaningful conversations with your customers, and explore how you can impact their lives with your decisions.
Do everything while lying down in Exhausted Man. Play as an ordinary but very tired person as you complete everyday challenges and work toward a better and—I assume—less exhausted life.
