I wrote a few of my thoughts about another of the games in the #同ZINE #douZINE anthology, this time it's Mimi and animals by #HidebuGames!
An adorable and funny RPG Maker #IndieGame about lending a helping hands to the animals in your neighbourhood, and also oops you just became queen. Made for the dev's daughter, this is a lovely game for kids, a little like a storybook in RPG form
