You play as Cleo, who grew up near some wetlands and returns home during a break in school after getting a call from her childhood friend. He wants to set up a frog refuge and he wants your help.
The gameplay is split into a few main sections. There is decorating the area to make it attractive to frogs to come in, feed them their favorite foods to tame them, and build a “Frogedex” with pictures of the frogs you’ve managed to attract. It’s similar to other collecting games like Neko Atsume in how you’re setting up the area.
Next you’ll move onto the wetlands restoration, digging ponds and planting appropriate plants to up the biodiversity score. This is also where you’ll click the bugs that spawn to feed frogs, which can show up here or in the refuge.
Lastly, there are minigames like a cooking minigame, using a solar stove to make jam from berries collected in the wetlands to sell to help fund it all. To help fill out your Frogedex, you’ll also start doing frog breeding, which has a Punnett square tic-tac-toe style minigame attached to it, using the traits of the frogs to try and get three of a kind to and get the traits you want. Any traits not locked in are rolled randomly.
It was pretty fun and pretty chill. It has a planned release of sometime this year and it’s demo is still available on their Steam page.
