I remember having one of those "___-in-one" collection of Game Boy Advance when I was younger, which were almost always bootleg cartridges. One of those had a really cute, simulation, veterinarian game, Petz Vet. Now, I happened to replay the game for nostalgia's sake.
The game itself is pretty long. It runs for two years in game time. It has plenty of mini-games, some presented to you before you progress. You play a female character studying to become a vet at New Yorkie Animal Hospital. There are plenty of characters to interact with, some you could even romance. The game also has elements from the visual-novel genre, with dialogue and action choices affecting your stats and romance progression. The story is a typical slice-of-life. I think that it could actually translate well into a 2-cour anime. It even felt that it went way longer than it needed to be. But like any good anime, you forgive its downtimes and feel sad when the journey's over.
Fun fact about the game: it's actually a sequel to a GBA game that never released outside of Japan. There seems to be more follow-ups too, although I haven't played them.
