| ✅ | ❌ |
|---|---|
| Pets have strong links to therapy and positive well-being | Not original - needs an element of uniqueness to separate it from other existing pet simulators |
| Good for stress relief | No storyline - might not be captivating enough |
| Personal to player - can choose which pets to get | |
| CBAT tasks keep a strong therapy theme |
