A cute and moe game from Vanillaware (makers of Odin Shpere) coming to the DS in 2008. This is a role playing RPG simulation game, where you control the cute moe Girl “Kumatan”. You will be able to customize her looks and engage her in various mini-games. You can also take pictures of her daily activities.
There are other characters in the game whom you will interact with, like her elder sister ‘Dora’ どらのおねさん an adult Tiger, a cow ‘Ushi’ うし, ‘Rabbit-Tan’ らびたん, A cat Neko-Kun ねこくん and a monkey Saru-Ji さるじい. The main thing I like about this is the high animation quality of the game as seen from past Vanillaware titles. This will not make it out of Japan, but I am sure you can import from Play-Asia.

you don’t actually play “as” kuma-tan like in an RPG -
the girl is more like some kind of tamagochi, just a million times cuter.
you as the player have to “take care” of her and join her on her adventures.
but it’s great fun ^^
