My Talking Tom vs Tabikaeru: Travel Frog
My Talking Tom
My Talking Tom is a pretty unique game where you get to adopt your very own virtual tom cat. Of course, you'll start off with a kitten (named Tom) but by taking good care of it and catering to its needs, your kitty will gradually grow into the cat it is meant to be. Being a pet simulation game, you'll not only get to dress up your cat; you can decorate his surroundings as well. You can even send your cat to various locations around the world and take pictures for your scrapbook or play some fun mini-games with him.The best part about this game though is how Tom respond to your actions. You can poke, stroke, tickle or drag him around and he will react accordingly. Like a parrot, you can also talk to him and he'll repeat everything you say back to you. This sort of reactive interaction is practically unheard of prior to My Talking Tom.
Unlike most pet simulations, the "My Talking" game series often have pets that have incredibly realistic emotions and expressions, in addition to being very adorable, making it a perfect game for players of all ages... and yes, this includes toddlers. My Talking Tom is the very first game in the series and is definitely the most established one. So, if you are interested to give the game a try, this game is your best bet.
Tabikaeru: Travel Frog
Tabikaeru: Travel Frog is a Japanese simulation game that, in some way, depicts the journeys of an adorable little frog as it travels around Japan. The interesting thing about this game is that you have absolutely no control over what assumingly is your pet frog. It may decide to go on a trip any time it likes, disappearing for hours or even days. It sometimes sends you postcards or photos of the places it went to and the animals it meets, and bring home some gifts when it returns, but sometimes, it does none of those. In some way, you can learn more about your frog through its travels.The game also has a clover garden where you can collect clovers, the virtual currency of the game. You can collect 30 clovers every 3 hours or you can buy more clovers using real cash. Sometimes, your frog will bring home some clovers for you too.
As simple as the game is, it blew up in terms of its popularity at least among East Asian countries mainly because slowly makes the players, especially the 20-somethings, realize that they are actually the wandering frog in this story and that their elderly parents are at home eagerly waiting for their return. After all, in this game, you are put into the role of a parent to some extent - the person who prepares food, tools, and amulets for the travel-obsessed frog whenever it returns home. Also, the game brings the "idle game" genre to a whole new level.
Tabikaeru: Travel Frog is a game that's perfect for players who just don't have a lot of time to play and yet still like to have a very undemanding and interesting virtual pet of sorts... and for any young adults who are working away from home, be sure to visit your parents often! They miss you as much as you miss the frog when it's on its travels.
