idle phone simulator by summsalt
Playtime: 10 minutes
This made me want to talk about:
- The art is very cute, and there’s a lot of fun quirky background details
- The PC seems to be a cat-person who has a pet cat (not a person), and the PC’s friend seems to be a bunny-person who has a pet bunny (not a person). Much to ponder
- I love that we have a 7 step skincare routine (that is actually one step: moisturize)
- I appreciated the thought given to quality-of-life features, like the ability to skip through scenes and view history.
Notable line:
My one fervent wish:
Personally, I wanted more to do as the player. This game has a very strong concept of what the player character is like (can’t cook, reads internet stuff on their phone and then regrets it, speaks french to their cat, etc) and the game presents that person’s morning without needing much input from the player.
Overall, a cozy morning-routine simulator featuring a charming cat-person.
