Catmint Cove

Read full description

Catmint Cove is a quiet place. Inspired by a real cat named Midknight, the Cove is a little world where cats can simply be cats — and you get to look after them. Cats wander in needing someone. A warm spot in the sun. A full bowl. Fresh water. A scratch behind the ears. Keep them fed and comfortable and they’ll settle in and make the Cove home. Let things slide for too long and a cat might pad off down the shore — but you’ll always get a clear warning first. And if one does wander off, it’ll still be waiting in your field guide whenever you’re ready to coax it back. A day away costs you nothing. The Cove carries on without you and tells you what happened when you return. No pressure to constantly check in. No punishment for having somewhere else to be. Every cat has its own way of being a cat. A lazy one loafs. A bold one gets the zoomies. A shy one watches from the long grass. Spend enough time together and you’ll start noticing the little things that make each one different. Slowly, you make the place theirs. Mend the old dock. Plant the catmint. Light the little bakery oven. Find just the right spot for a bed. Decorate their home, dress up your cats, and watch them find their favorite corners of the Cove. Send a few cats off exploring and read the postcards they send home. Fill your field guide. Frame a photo. Grow ingredients in the garden. Spend a quiet afternoon fishing. And every now and then, the Cove gets a little less quiet. Cove Festivals bring a little friendly chaos — cats race, play volleyball, pull together in Tug of Paws, and somehow end up running a café. Then, when you’ve had enough excitement, slow things down again. Let it rain. Settle in with your cats, listen to the rain, watch them curl up and sleep, and stay for as long as you like. Sometimes there’s something to do. Sometimes there isn’t. That’s kind of the point. Catmint Cove is a cozy corner of the world where cats come to be looked after — and you slowly make it theirs. No pressure. No pay-to-win. No punishment for taking a day away. The Cove will be here when you get back.

About

Tofupets

Read full description

A 5×5 board, four areas and twenty-four cube-shaped pets with big personalities. Put a carrot next to the flowers and the bunny will come to the square beside it. But if the pig is hanging around there, it won't come near. EVERY TILE IS A CHOICE Drag food and objects onto your board: flowers, a campfire, a tree, a bed, a log, a boat... Each pet comes to one specific square, right next to what it likes, so where you put things matters. Giving a tile to one pet means taking it away from another. EVERY PET HAS ITS OWN CHARACTER Each species has a favourite food, a favourite spot, a best friend and a pet peeve. Put friends together and they'll dance; put someone next to its pet peeve and it won't come. Watch them eat, nod and shake their heads, and you'll know what they want. DISCOVERING IS DEDUCING Species you haven't met yet appear in the album as silhouettes with a rumour: "someone with long ears hangs around the flowers". Every visit reveals one more clue, and clues never lie. If someone doesn't come, something is missing or someone is in the way. 24 RARE VISITORS Fill the Sparkle bar and a rare visitor with its own name will come around: the Moon Bunny, the Queen Bee, the Red Panda, the Crowned Lion... Each one has its whim: some only come at night, others for their special bowl, with their friend nearby or when there's a party on the board. FOUR AREAS, LIVING AT ONCE The meadow, the forest with its stream, the beach with its sea and the jungle with its pond, each with six species, its own food and its own objects. Every board keeps getting visitors while you look at another. FRIENDSHIP AND KEEPSAKES Every visit builds friendship. At five hearts, each pet brings you its keepsake. Friendship never goes down. REQUESTS AND PHOTOS Small placement puzzles that never expire, and a camera to keep your prettiest boards in the album. AT YOUR OWN PACE Sessions of one to three minutes, one-handed. The board lives on without you: when you come back, it tells you who visited while you were away. No streaks, no energy, no punishment for missing a day. MADE WITH LOVE - Twenty-four species: from the meadow's bunny and cow to the jungle's elephant and giraffe - Light that follows the time of day - In English, Spanish and Valencian - Plays offline (videos need an internet connection) - Free. Optional "Another while" video (up to 3 a day) to let a while pass right away - One-time "No Ads" purchase: another while, without the video - One-time "Seasons" purchase: autumn, winter and spring for your boards (falling leaves, snow and petals) plus 17 garden decorations. They only change the look - No paid randomness, ever
