Why Is Everyone *Obsessed* With Adorable Home?

By now, there’s a good chance you’ve seen the game Adorable Home all over social media—in fact, I bet your fyp brought you here. It’s literally *everywhere*: People are posting hacks on Twitter; everyone’s flexing screenshots of their houses on IG stories; and there are so, so many memes about it on Facebook. 

What’s the hype all about? Well, here’s a guide for all the things you should know about Adorable Home. 

What is Adorable Home?

According to the game developer, Hyperbeard, Adorable Home is meant to be “a passive and relaxing experience.” It’s a simulation game that lets you plan a life with an in-game partner (whose name and gender you can choose, so puwedeng based sa real-life S.O. or sa celebrity crush mo). Think of it as a virtual bahay-bahayan where you’re allowed to decorate a house and take care of pet cats. 

How do you play Adorable Home?

When you first load the game, you’ll be greeted by a screen where you can choose a character and an in-game partner. The gender, name, and skin color are all customizable, so feel free to create an S.O. based on your preference.

You’ll then be brought to your house, and after settling in, your S.O. will give you 1500 “love”—this is their code for in-game money—to get you started with home decoration. You’ll have enough to buy a TV, a fan, a couch, and some chairs.

After the initial decorating session, you’ll prepare the first bento box—your partner’s baon when they leave for work. They’ll be gone for a few hours and while waiting, you can collect “love” and take care of Snow—aka the first fur baby!

Feeding is when you refill the bowl and get “love” in return. Then, you can start caring for them. There are three mini games that will help you earn more “love”: stroking, nail-cutting, and showering. Each caring strategy has its own set of rules, but basically, you just have to keep Snow and the rest of the cats happy.

Another way to earn “love” is by checking the weather forecast—as the game says, “the sky gives you love!”

Tips and tricks for Adorable Home:

  1. After doing your cat duties—aka showering, cutting the nails, and stroking—you’ll be asked to choose between 80 and 160 hearts. Here’s a hack: Tap both at the same time to get 240 “love”!

  2. It’s better to buy cats before collecting things for your home. This way,

    mas makakaipon

    ka

    because more cats = more hearts! 

  3. Feed your cats dried fish because they’ll shower you with “love.”

  4. When preparing your partner’s bento box, give them the most expensive food. This

    baon

    is the way to their heart!

  5. When cutting the fur babies’ nails, tap on them instead of doing the “slicing” motion. It makes things so much easier!

  6. For stroking, remember all the points that gave you “love” because all cats like these areas—it will only change once you’re done with all of them. 

  7. If you have enough hearts to upgrade the house, buy the garden first because it will bring visitors to your home. These cute fur babies will bring more hearts! Btw, mas maraming cats sa garden when you change furniture per season.
