How to Play Aka-chan Dōbutsuen
Quick start
Select NEW GAME, set the main character's name, etc., and start playing in April of the first year. When you leave your room in the morning, please check your conversation and instructions with the person in charge at the zoo, and head to the first animal enclosure you were directed to. We look at the animal's condition and select food if it's hungry, cleaning if it's dirty, and care if it's unwell. After going around all the areas I was assigned to, I went back to my room, went to bed, and moved on to the next day. In the first month, the priority is to explain new care and mini-games, and it is basic to not leave the animals alone.
Controls
Use the cross button to move around the park and select menu items and care targets. Press A to talk/investigate/make a decision, and press B to cancel/return to the previous screen (sometimes used as a running operation in moving scenes). START opens the in-game menu/pause. The 12 mini-games with animals have different controls depending on the content, such as ring toss and ball crossing, so follow the on-screen instructions at the start. Fixed actions common to L, R, and SELECT cannot be confirmed.
