Hi guys, this is the games you have been anticipating. Based on my understanding, this game - Travel Frog is already raging in Malaysia and China. This Travel Frog game was downloaded by little Malaysian nephew (less than 5 years old) so you can imagine how non-strategic it is. Lol!
To be honest, I felt it was pretty lame. When I realize it was in Japanese, I was even more sian. But it grew onto me because graphics were so pretty. And it is quite low maintenance, play whenever you want. (Weed his garden and feed the snail to earn some clover money!)
You can't really control where your frog travels or when it comes home. But it doesn't matter cos what you are anticipating are the postcards and souvenirs it will send you :D All you have to do is to minimally prepare some food for him and it will leave home. (Sounds very millennial!)
My friend says that the game is modeled after a husband (the frog being the hubby) but I dono whether it is true. Based on my slight research, it is said that after a while, your frog will even gain traveling companions. (I haven't reach that stage yet though!)
For those who are intrigued already, to download, search for "旅かえる". There are many guides available online. But I don't think it is necessary to read so deep into it since this is a pretty zen game after all. And it is really good at satisfing my urges to travel. :P
