Apple Town Monogatari: Little Computer People

Apple Town Monogatari: Little Computer People is an early life simulation game in which a randomly named girl lives with her cat in a three-story house.

Gameplay focuses on observing her daily routine, including exercising, reading, brushing her teeth, eating, sleeping, and playing a game on her Famicom. An in-game clock tracks the time of day, while menu commands let the player make the phone ring, send letters, provide food and milk, give gifts, feed the cat, or ask the girl to perform a song on the piano.

The girl has limited storage for food and milk and must obtain more supplies when needed. Neglecting her for too long can make her angry and cause her to leave permanently. The game also includes fortune-telling options based on blood-type compatibility, horoscopes, and a playing-card variation of tarot.
