# A Small Garden a Cat Comes to Visit Enjoy a quiet, cozy day as you bond with a cat in your garden. Window Meow is a heartwarming healing sim where cats visit your window and gentle bonds begin. # Where Little Bonds Begin With food, water, treats, and play, the cat gradually starts to open its heart to you. Add cat furniture to your garden, and shy, hard-to-find cats may slowly come out to visit. # Capture Precious Cat Moments Take photos of the cats that visit your garden and neighborhood, decorate them with cute stickers, and create your very own cat album. Even cats that only stop by for a while are more likely to return if you capture them in photos. # The Moment the Heart Door Opens As you continue bonding with a cat, its closed Heart Door slowly—before you even realize it—begins to open wide. In that moment, a special “Chosen” event occurs— the cat chooses you, and you become its caretaker. # Living Together Once a cat becomes part of your family, you can share a new daily life together—even in your room. Set up furniture for your cat, and watch its adorable, affectionate side that only appears indoors. Put on outfits, chat with your cat, and go through the day’s little tasks together as your bond grows deeper. # Little Rewards & Changing Seasons From daily login and event rewards, to limited outfits from the Season Pass, and even seasonal packages that transform your garden. As your garden gently changes day by day, enjoy building a quiet, daily life with your cat. # The Moment a Cat Chooses You There’s no need to rush. Like a small miracle that comes after waiting, one day a cat will come to you and place its heart in your care. A heartwarming healing sim about life and bonds with cats Window Meow

탭하면 비닐하우스에 불이 붙고... 가끔 바람이 불어 불길이 번지기도 합니다. 실수로 텃밭에 불이 옮겨붙으면 물을 뿌려 불을 꺼주세요. 폐허가 된 자리에 찾아오는 손님들도 있어요.
