Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge

About

Kamaeru is a laid-back simulator where you build and maintain a frog sanctuary in a sunlit wetlands setting. Your tasks include catching, caring for, and breeding various frog species through simple mini-games like feeding and cleaning.

The pace is unhurried, focusing on the rhythm of nurturing ecosystems and building relationships with NPCs who share your conservation goals. The game emphasizes biodiversity and gentle progression, letting you shape your refuge at your own speed. With a release on multiple platforms including PC, Xbox, and Switch, it’s accessible for players who enjoy slow-paced life sims.
