This is a nurturing game in which "words" play a significant role in the growth of cute characters. Although the game is called "nurturing," you can enjoy it casually as there are no common tasks such as "cleaning the room" or "feeding". In this mysterious game, "Kotodamatchi," a mysterious creature, evolves by giving "words" to the player. The dot-picture characters in the game are also nostalgic.



To play the game, you increase your "kotodama meter" by tapping the hearts that appear periodically or by tapping the character "kotodamatchi" that appears on the screen. First, try to collect the kotodama meter up to the upper limit. When the upper limit is reached, large kotodama will fall according to the conditions. The large kotodama will be a mysterious item that has an important meaning for evolution.



From the kotodama, you will be asked a simple question. How do you feel?" so choose exactly what you are thinking. Then, Kotodama will evolve and change its appearance. Depending on the "word" you choose, Kotodamatchi will take on a variety of forms, so try them out.
