In this game you will have to take on the role of Monster Merchant. Amazingly cute creatures roam the neighborhood, catch them, sell them! This is your job, try not to think about it too much, take your medicine, get enough sleep and get back to work. Sell creatures, and use the proceeds to buy improvements for the farm and capture tools, and open new zones to hunt.(Storyline via IGDB)
