Thank for you for this thoughtful reply!

Yeah, I definitely hear you with regard to the "greater fantasy" aspect. Some other players have also recently mentioned their desire for more fleshed out lore. It's something I personally struggle with but I should definitely do better in this regard, as I do want mochia to be enjoyed by more people.

You currently can feed your pets, give them toys, and read books to them (each book also has unique text that you can read inside, often with secrets about the world), and your pets should reply with their reaction (as different pet species like different things), but I agree with you that a lot of these interactions don't really "sell" themselves, and they certainly deserve more polish.

And yes, the minigames don't require an account. My apologies, I should have been more clear in the original post on exactly what a minigame is in this context. These are the locations that start off with a black tutorial screen, and then generally involve a game loop. Most other locations require an account because they require making a request to the server, but minigames can just be played entirely client-side just for fun. Here's some of my favorite ones that don't require a login:
