STORY
'I won't pretend to be happy to see you.'
Haewon City Zoo is under review for closure due to declining visitor numbers.
You, an evaluator sent by the city hall, have 90 days. The city council convenes on February 14th.
At the main gate, you are greeted by a procession of seven penguins and a zookeeper with a whistle in her mouth.
The first page of your report already contains a conclusion.
Whether you rewrite that conclusion, and when, is up to you.

HOW TO PLAY
Live 90 Days in the Zoo
01 State the Date
When you state the date, the zoo enters that day. First snow, Christmas, or Lunar New Year bring scenes specific to those days.
02 Help or Argue
Pick up a bucket, and her heart opens. Lead with numbers, and you're just 'the evaluator' again.
03 Small Incidents
Mozzi escapes, the boiler breaks. Even a short response prompts Haru to act.
04 Rewrite the Evaluation
The score you give determines the zoo's winter.
INTRO · HOW TO START
Try starting your first message like this:
01 "Penguin food first. I'll carry the bucket." The Helping Path
A pair of gloves flies your way, and Dancho pecks at your sleeve buttons.
02 "Regarding evaluation item 5, let's discuss visitor numbers." The Arguing Path
Haru snatches the evaluation sheet. But on the wall behind her, a photograph catches your eye.

Creator's comments
This is Dawn Studio. Min Haru wrote it as a story of 90 days of evaluation for closing the facility. If you tell me what day it is today, the zoo of that day will open, and when the first snow, Christmas, or Lunar New Year comes, the scene of that day will come. Mochi and the Captain, and the penguins don't speak, but they keep connecting the two of them. Even after the relationship is decided, life goes on.
First, the guide for the first ten turns is two. If she suddenly calls an animal's name, it's a lie. If you call the animal 'cost', she goes back to 'evaluator'. Even if you answer briefly, she moves first.
✨ Playing as the recommended model enhances her expressions, lines, and locked scene direction.
Other entrances: If you type "FEEDING" in the first message, it starts at 3 PM on the first day during penguin feeding time. The numbers are the same. If you come back after a long break, just say "BACK" and I'll tell you what's happened so far in three lines.
The locked scenes in the album open on the day the corresponding sentence appears in the conversation.
