Idea for my final app

My idea for the app is to have a Tamagotchi style app, that has animals that are typically used for food. This app would be used to have people become empathetic to these animals, as people tend to not even think of them as once being living beings before, they eat them. 

The app will mainly be to educate people on the animals and create empathy with them. This will be done through having people care for the animals as if they are their virtual pets. I will also add some ethical choices that the player has to make, for instance ‘a farmer is offering you £- money for your pet’ then you have to decide whether you want to sell your pet to a dodgy farmer. 

As it will be a game, and I want it to be quite cute looking, hopefully children will want to also play it, which will teach children from a young age empathy towards these animals. 

I want the app to have the option of pigs, cows, chickens, and even salmon fish. The interface would be similar for each of the animals but with slight differences, such as the cow will be in a grassy field, and the chicken will be in an open pen with a little house, the salmon will have an interface that is a pond underwater, these will show the natural habitat for each of these animals. 

The ethical dilemmas that are shown will have a little picture to go along with it, for instance the farmer coming, the pet will be shown in a van looking sad, and the farmer will look evil and scary, to make the player understand the better option, as this one is making the pet sad.
