Arcane Zoo
This game is a "Journal of the Zoological Society," where players manage and care for magical creatures to earn money, with journal prompts based on their mentor's motivations. The player buys creatures from Arcana Zoo Store; roll dice to see how entertaining they are (using different criteria); then trade or sell them at an auction house in town if desired. They must spend the cash earned by selling a creature within 7 days and find out what happens with journal prompts each day, depending on their mentor's needs: either genuine altruism for profit-driven reasons; otherwise just try to do well while enjoying life away from captivity. The game does not require coloring pages sold separately at Arcana Zoo Store.
