    I don't know if this game will find any fans
    here; it's a bit of an oddball. But personally,
    I sometimes enjoy getting an oddball; even if
    it's not a game0QMIQ for me (and they're usually not),
    I like trying something new. "Calico" has you
    take charge of a local cafe and turn it into a
    thriving business.9IGGK It's more "Animal Crossing"
    than management sim, though, and its saccharine
    visuals and cutsey animal fetish may43NIL be a too
    tooth-rotting for some. Still, we can't always
    be playing games that involve killing things,
    can we?

    I checked it out and it is not doing anything for me. I'll pass.

    For the same reason as grandkids. When you are tired of playing with
    them you just hand them back to their parents. :P

    No, they were visiting from out of state and it was their last day in
    'the city' (as they call it) so off they went to do touristy things in
    NYC 🗽

    The boy didn't show much interest when we visited the game's Steam page
    but she was excited and is probably going to love it - petting and
    collecting cats and other stray animals, managing a small cafe, what's
    not to like? :)
