Introducing the Critter Caretaker Game
The Critter Caretaker game puts the player in charge of his own virtual pet. The player is completely responsible for keeping the critter happy, which is no small task. He can feed and play with the critter to keep it in a good mood. He can also listen to the critter to learn how the critter is feeling, which can range from happy to mad. Figure 8.5 shows off the game.

If you fail to feed or entertain your critter, it will have a mood change for the worse. (But don’t worry— with the proper care, your critter can return to a sunny mood.)
