A home full of personality. A new game around every corner. Otomates is a cozy pet arcade where you care for your Otomate, build a home together, and play games to earn Bits for your next discovery. MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME Step into the refreshed Home: a living space for you and your Otomates. Arrange furniture, grow ingredients, cook dishes, and work toward room goals. Discover new room environments, invite roommates, learn their favorite foods, and visit friends' homes. SERVE UP COMBOS IN SUSHI SWAP Match colorful sushi, create special pieces, and combine them for satisfying board-clearing combos. Take on the Daily Challenge or play through 30 Story Mode levels across six chapters, with new goals and obstacles along the way. KEEP HOPPING IN OTO CROSSING Hop across roads, rivers, and rail lines with your Otomate. Dodge cars and trains, ride floating logs, and keep moving before the hawk catches up. Chase your best score one hop at a time. ANSWER CALL MALFOID Malfoid is calling. She's definitely not excited to see you. Probably. Speak out loud or type, tease or compliment her, pat her head, and meet her owl. Watch this proud AI character react as you try to win her over. Your microphone is used when you choose to speak. MORE WAYS TO PLAY Solve five-letter puzzles in Word Guess, tackle snowy runs in Heli Drop Sled, and explore a growing library of arcade games, puzzles, cooking, and trivia.
