Hamburg October 17th, in the year of our Lord 2013 – "My Vet Practice 3D – In the Country" presents a whole host of exciting tasks and caring fun for junior vets in this involving care and development game. Deer, lambs, dogs, cats, rabbits, budgies and horses are all visiting the Nintendo 3DS for the first time with a wide range of illnesses and injuries to be diagnosed and treated. And it is down to the player alone to decide which animals they treat and how they invest the money they have earned.

The young vets prove their skills by administering treatments such as applying dressings, giving injections or rubbing in ointments and more. Treatments don’t only take place in the surgery, there are also exciting outside calls where severely ill animals get taken into care. Back at the veterinary practice, in the gradually increasing number of stalls, there are fun-filled play interludes and of course the patients’ daily feed. This is also where players can see how their animals are progressing and find out all sorts of useful facts about dogs, cats and horses in the game’s encyclopaedia. Aside from this, the practice’s revenues can also be invested in new instruments for the treatment room, toys for the animals, or to stock up on supplies. Doing all this requires a trip into the neighbouring town where players will find various shops and traders, together with a bank and an advertising agency. In their free time, the vets can then saddle up their own horse and go out for a ride in the beautiful countryside surrounding their practice.

The impressive 3D view during the animal treatments and a very special photo feature round up the fun. Using the Nintendo 3DS camera, the players can slip into the role of the vet by simply taking a photo of themselves which is then used in the game!
