LINE Play vs Virtual Families
LINE Play
LINE Play is a free to play, social virtual world game developed by the LINE Corp, the company behind the insanely-popular (mainly in the Asian regions) chat messaging app, LINE. Like other virtual world games, LINE Play allows you to interact with other players through the use of incredibly adorable characters which you can also customize and dress up to your liking. Players usually hang out in various lounges or virtual homes that they themselves decorate - you'll even get a virtual home to call your own too!Similar to its messaging app, LINE Play features a ton of entertaining and crazily-addictive casual games for you to enjoy. Rewards that you get from winning in these games will then be added to your personal collection.
In short, LINE Play builds on the success of LINE in many obvious ways, but ultimately, this game is a lot more fun to use mainly because it's actually a game and not just a chat app.
Virtual Families
Virtual Families is a fun family simulation game where you'll be in charge of taking care of a virtual family. Somewhat similar to The Sims albeit in a much smaller scale, you'll get to adopt a virtual person of your choice and encourage him or her to do what young adult humans do - find a stable career, meet a suitable partner and settle down to start a family. Instead of ordering your sim around though, you'll encourage certain behavior by praising and discourage others by scolding. In some way, you can say that you can actually shape the personality of your little virtual person.Aside from the sim, you'll also get to improve the newly-wed's home. There are even multiple hidden puzzles all over the place for you to find and solve. Sometimes, when you least expect it, an event will pop up threatening to turn the amazing virtual life you've built for your sim completely upside down! All of these provide some respite from the usual daily routine of your sims as they go about their day.
Virtual Families is an incredibly fun game especially for fans of life simulation games like The Sims. If you got the chance, you should really check this game out! The demo is free to play, but for the full experience, you'll need to buy the game.
