I Can’t Stop Playing “Adorable Home” On My Phone and Here’s Why
My in-game boyfriend constantly risks starvation
In Adorable Home, you buy everything with L-O-V-E.
I’m even not kidding. Money doesn’t exist in this game. I can only depend on my cooking skills and whether my cat will hate me today or tomorrow. Why is that compelling?
For the past two months, I’ve been slowly growing addicted to playing Adorable Home, a mobile game developed by HyperBeard, the largest publisher in Mexico. It started out as a suggestion to a dear friend of mine who had been overworked and feeling burnt out.
“I’ve heard this game is great for relaxing,” I told her. “You get to own a little home, cook and buy cute shit!”
She agreed to try it out, but then kept putting it off because of (no shocker) work. I’d never tried it out before but naturally, I was curious about the game too. It had over 10 million downloads and a strong 4.3 star rating. What was so great about a game where you stay at home all day and do nothing but eat and order things online? We’re literally living it IRL.
Well, I’ve finally figured it out.
