The new game from Neko Atsume creator Yutaka Takazaki – Journey Frog (Tabikaeru 旅かえる) has rapidly taken over the mobile stores in various countries (especially in Asia) in a short time just after its release. Many have been playing it but since it is only available in Japanese, you might not be able to fully understand the items and on when to use them. So, here is a Journey Frog guide that translates the items and their functions.
These are the guide(s) we wrote for Journey Frog:
The gameplay of Journey Frog is really simple, all you have to do is to prepare his backpack (so he could bring it to travel), collect clovers (in-game currency) and wait for him to send you pictures from his journey or come back with souvenirs while he is away.
