INTRODUCTION :» What is Gothicat World ?Gothicat World is a game where you can adopt the creatures living in the magical world of Gothicat. Every month, you can adopt several different species of creatures and collecting them. To complete your collections, a section "trade" has been developed.
THE CREATURES:» How can I adopt a creature ?To do this you just need an account! Once your account is created, your page will be created automatically and you will be able to adopt creatures. To do this, choose a species and click on "adopt"!
You can then choose a name for your creature, if it is a male or a female, and even choose their place of birth in the world of Gothicat!
» Can I adopt an infinite number of animals ?No! We set a limited number of adoptions for each species! Like this, it is more difficult to complete the collections, which makes the game more attractive!
» I missed adoptions of this month, can I still adopt them ?No! Animals are available on Gothicat World one month only! If you want to get the animals of a previous month, you will get them by trade with other members on the site!
» How do my creatures grow up ?All alone! You do not need to feed them nor brush them or give them to drink (for now at last ^^) ... Our creatures are doing alone! Just visit them regularly to see how they evolve!
» How long for my creature to grow ?It varies from one species to another. Each creature has a growth period that webmasters set at the beginning of each month. Typically, the egg hatched around a week and becomes an adult maximum one month after its adoption (but sometimes this is longer).
» My creature… is it a male or a female ?That's up to you to decide! During your adoption, we let you choose the sex of your creature.
» Can my creature die ?No! The creatures that you have adopted on Gothicat World are eternal !
» Can I create my own creature ?No. It is complicated enough to handle fixed creatures each month, add personal creatures would be too hard to handle.
However, you can always open a shop of creatures you have made in the forum and make them available to everyone!
» The families creatures, what is it ?At the opening of World Gothicat, each species had only one variety of creatures (adults) comes in different colors. Now, each species has 4 different creatures that make up a family (two parents and two small). Your role is to bring together families of creatures you adopt!!

» How did you create this site ?The idea came from an internet game called Chicken Smoothie. Seeing that many people give up the idea of playing on the site because of the language barrier, we decided to create a webseit loosely based on Chicken Smoothie in French.
Code (PHP) of the first version of the site was worked by Gabou drawing on advice provided by the webmaster of Chicken Smoothie. (advice available on their website:
http://www.chickensmoothie.com)
The code has been amended many times over the years (and it's still evolving) and is now 90% handmade!
