Massively Multiplayer Hello Kitty

Posted by Zonk on from the i-swear-i-am-not-making-this-up dept.

Thanks (I guess) to GameGossip for the news that SanrioWave Software is planning a Hello Kitty Massively Multiplayer Game. From the article: "The game will give players access to up to three characters, each customizable, and will include 15 different occupations, and five shops in which players can make in-game progress. Hello Kitty Online World will carry an subscription fee of sorts when launched throughout Asia later this year." The official game site is also available for perusal.

    These Sanrio characters are the only ones not controlable by you. They are the main theme and "God" of one Nation. For example, in Hello Kitty World, Hello Kitty reigns supreme as the overseer of the land. With her guidance, love and happiness is abound and people are able to live in the cute land of Kitty Kingdom in Hello Kitty World. Hello Kitty will be there during your important occasions to bless and help you. Hello Kitty will also arrive to give guidance and new missions to residents of her world.
    I dunno, that just sounds really damn freaky to me.

    So... the big question is - can Kittys PK each other?

    A Hello Kitty MMORPG?

    Role-playing little kids in a sweatshop making pink and white toys and accessories for little girls?

    You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

    From the official page:

    Feeding (instruction)
    The Player must remember to feed his or her pet every day after the Angel has grown beyond the infancy stage. If this is neglected, the relationship between the Player and the Angel will drop and the Angel would take the Player's life bit by bit until it goes out of control.

    I envision a server full of cute, maniacal, life-sucking kittens and frogs.

    "Sure, Wiggles may be slowly draining my life essence, but isn't he just the cutesOH MY EYES HE RIPPED OUT MY EYES!"

    Hilarity ensues.
