A hit Japanese game about a frog who regularly disappears on vacation has struck a note with young Chinese for its "Buddha-style" gameplay.
近来，日本的一款经常在旅途中失踪的青蛙游戏走红，该游戏和我国年轻人的“佛系”游戏情绪不约而同。
Travel Frog was the most downloaded free app on the Apple Store on Sunday, while the mobile game has been among the most searched topics on Sina Weibo this week.
周日，“游览青蛙”这款游戏登顶苹果商铺下载次数最多的免费运用排行，一起也成了本周微博上的热搜论题。
The game centers on a frog that goes on trips around Japan and sends back postcards, and sometimes local delicacies. Players are required to do very little: They can grow and collect clover in a virtual courtyard as in-game currency, and help the frog pack for a journey.
游戏中的小青蛙在日本各地游览，会寄回一些明信片，有时还会带回当地的土特产。玩家们要做的作业很少：他们可以在虚拟的庭院中栽培并搜集三叶草，作为游戏中的钱银运用，并协助小青蛙拾掇游览的行囊。
Many people have praised the game for its slow pace, saying it taps the trend among younger generations in China to search out "Zenlike" activities.
不少人为这款游戏的慢节奏点赞，称其契合我国年轻一代寻求“禅意”活动的趋势。
"I wish I could be the frog I raised in the game as I would like to be able to go on a trip whenever I want," said Ge Yuan, 30, who works in Shanghai’s Taihe economic zone. "It’s like the life of a monk who lives life following his heart."
“我期望能成为游戏中自己养的那只蛙，可以在任何时候来一场说走就走的游览，” 30岁的葛元（音译）在上海泰和经济发展区作业，他如此点评这款游戏。“就像全部随心的僧侣相同日子。”
Yuan Linghuan, a postgraduate student at Tongji University in Shanghai, said her friend introduced the game to her three days ago.
上海同济大学研究生袁玲欢（音译）称她的朋友三天前向她引荐了这款游戏。
"Everything is unexpected in life, just like the game. Whenever I launch the game, I don’t know whether the frog is at home, reading, eating or writing letters," the 25-year-old said.
“日子中的全部都不行意料，就像这款游戏相同。我每次翻开游戏，都不知道蛙在不在家，是不是在读书、吃饭仍是写信，”这名25岁的学生说道。
She said the design of the game is cute, while it requires no skills in fighting, which is good for female players.
她表明，这款游戏的规划很心爱，也不必打打杀杀，很合适女人玩家。
"It’s not a game that you will get obsessed with, as there is no ranking list among players," Yuan added. "All you have to do is to open the app to see if your frog is at home or on its journey, and it’s not necessary to spend a lot of money buying gear to equip the frog for his travels, which differs from other role-playing games."
“玩这款游戏不会上瘾，由于游戏中没有玩家排行榜，”袁玲欢弥补道。“你需求做的便是翻开游戏，看看蛙是在家仍是出门旅游了，也不需求花许多钱买配备让青蛙在旅途中带着，这点和其他角色扮演游戏都不同。”
Like others players, Yuan said she feels like an elderly parent waiting for her children to return home.
袁玲欢和其他玩家相同，觉得自己就像个等孩子回家的“老母亲”。
"I feel like I’m the mother of the frog in the game. It’s really interesting for a single girl like me, and raising the frog is a way of relieving stress," she said.
“我觉得自己就像游戏中小青蛙的妈妈。关于像我这样的独身女孩而言，真的很有意思，而养蛙也是种宣泄压力的方法，”她表明。
Many players regard the game as their spiritual sustenance, especially youth living alone, according to Ma Xiquan, a doctor of clinical psychology at Shanghai East Hospital.
上海东方医院临床心理科医师马希权表明，不少玩家将这款游戏视作心灵寄予，尤其是茕居的年轻人。
"The frog brings a sense of satisfaction to the players," he said. "The game simulates the relationship of a traditional Chinese or Japanese family. Players can satisfy their emotions through the process of taking care of the frog."
“小青蛙给玩家们带来了一种满意感，”他表明。“游戏模拟了我国或许日本传统的家庭关系。玩家们可以经过照料青蛙这一进程，满意本身的情感。”
Ma said the game reflects the low social demands of the players, and characteristics of the game that resemble a Buddhist lifestyle tally with the personality of people pursuing an easy life.
马希权称这款游戏反映了玩家们的低交际需求，而游戏的特色与佛系的日子方法相似，契合人们寻求简略日子的特性。
Developed by Japanese company Hit-Point, the game was included as a free download in the Apple store on Dec 6 and became an internet hit after being introduced to China in early January.
这款由日本公司Hit-Point开发的游戏于12月6日作为免费运用在苹果商铺上架，本年1月初引进国内后成为了网上的一大抢手论题。
The game is available for iOS and Android systems, but the Apple store only offers a Japanese version while Android has Chinese and Japanese.
这款游戏在iOS和安卓体系上皆可运转，但苹果商铺只提供日文版游戏，而安卓渠道则有中文和日文两个版别。
