Raising sim combo meal

[stepnix]

Drapline is just a demo, but a very funny one. Raise your dragon-daughter and tell her if it's okay to eat expensive meals, scenery, named NPCs, etc. It reminds me of Mushroom Musume in terms how it handles randomized events, but it feels like its own thing overall.

Cute Bite is from the team behind Cute Knight and Long Live the Queen. This time, the subject is a vampire attempting to regain her former powers. It cleaves closely to the Princess Maker/Cute Knight lineage, but it's a very well-executed version of the formula. I like the minigames!

Only after playing both of them in one day did I realize "who do you choose to eat" is an important gameplay decision in both of them. two nickels.

I really like this as a mechanic.

It's so funny in Drapline. the dragon just asks "hey can i eat this tree" "hey can i eat this shop" "hey can i eat the person we were just talking to" and you have to make a decision. Sweating bullets as you weigh whether the stat bonus is worth it.

In Cute Bite it's a little more straightforward vampire genre stuff, choosing whether to go hunting and how. It also isn't total (or lethal) devouring there, but you're very much choosing to feed on others.
