Editor Kristi Bui and her friends have taken to a new method to relax, in a form of a game phone app called Neko Atsume.
How to play
To play the game, players place objects in different locations on a screen. These objects will attract different types of cats and the game is played in real time, meaning that cats come and go throughout the day. Players must also place food for the cats; otherwise, they will not visit. After the visiting cats leave, they leave either silver or gold fish, which can be used to purchase more objects for cats. Besides that, there are special rare cats that only appear in certain circumstances, which are variable depending on what food and what objects the player has out.
A way to unwind
The game has been a stress reliever for my friends and I. Since we’re all seniors, we’re often stressed out from school work and college preparations. Thus, it’s nice to just drop everything throughout the day and check on the cats.
