I don't know why I get so sentimental over this game.
so charming!!! a very cute, quick game <3
My favorites are Neko-chan and Inu-chan! Followed by Usagi-chan. Not surprisingly, I was reading it and found myself thinking a) the animal names in english and b) responses to the animals in Japanes
Thank you for this quick and relaxing game :)
I love this game and I don't even know why.

Very cute game! I wish there was yomigana to help me practice reading, but as it is it also is a nice way to practice reading Japanese with English translation :)
Unusual but very cute hehe
The squirrel is my favorite!
fren~ i luff u

extra ! Wow! I loved it! thx
inu-chan is so talented
adorable!!
Incroyable
I love how you just squish them.
haha I love the little sounds each of the animals make. So cute!
I have no idea what this is, but it was really funny
Wow! I loved it!
Such a cute game! It made me feel really happy while playing it <3 particularly liked the sounds of the snake <3
this is a fantastic game and its only failure is that i cannot pet and squish the helpful bird
Wow this is way adorable and also... kinda... weird? It was really cute nonetheless and so relaxing ´v`
Arigatou, ningen-san who made this game!
This is my favorite game
I am both uncomfortable and relieved of any stress at the same time.. it's like having those food squishies.. but without the scent of an artificial cake
Arigatou, Ningen-san! is a mixture of relaxing, cute, and unsettling. You have to bend and warp your animal friends (at their request) to relax and win them over. I couldn't stop laughing with every new animal encounter. Like someone else already said, it's worth mentioning that you have to squish them for a little bit longer than you would expect. Very fun!
the little animations are sooo funny and i love the sound the snake makes CX soo cute
This is the greatest game of all time and if I could upload my consciousness and live inside of it I would.
fun short game. oddly stress relieving. made me giggle from the sounds and animations.
It is so peaceful but made me laugh a lot. I love it!
a very cute and chill game to play.
This is possibly the world's cutest body horror.
A really cute and relaxing game. I want to take all of the animals home with me! The artwork is really great too.
Please! I want to give that helping little birdie a really good massage, too!
This game is super cute! It was a good stress reduction game
It was quite fun and charming, but the amount of effort required to satisfy all these buddies was a little more than i was expecting!
