Tabikaeru: Travel Frog vs Talking Ginger
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.
Talking Ginger
Talking Ginger lets you take care of and have fun with your very own adorable little and talking ginger cat that's simply named Ginger. There are many ways you can interact and play with him, be it by talking to him, tickling or poking him, or even by playing some simple games. Of course, as his sole caretaker, you'll need to take care of his needs as well. This includes feeding him his timely meals, get him ready for bed, give him baths and more.Interestingly, in this game, you can actually see what Ginger is dreaming about and from there, you can collect unique jigsaw puzzle pieces which you can then assemble to form the complete version of Ginger's vivid dreams. As expected in a talking simulation game from Outfit7, you can also record videos of your fun times with little Ginger and share them with your friends.
