Whoa, what is this!? The age of playing crane games from the comfort of your couch has arrived at last!
The Net Capture, or Netch, is an actual crane game that can be played on PCs through the internet. It was produced by the game development company Netch, and was released on Nov. 29.
Have you ever played a crane game? They are surprisingly difficult and take a good amount of skill, but they’re fun. Even though you often don’t catch anything, it’s easy to keep playing, and before you know it, you’re broke!
Netch is available to play 24 hours a day. Prizes are delivered to winning users free of charge to anywhere in Japan. The service is currently only available for PC, but starting in January, an Android version will be released.
By the way, it seems that the cranes are housed in a warehouse in Tokyo. An unmanned warehouse, packed with crane games that ceaselessly operate 24 hours a day? Sounds like something out of a horror film, doesn’t it?
