Cookie's Bustle

Cookie's Bustle is a point-and-click adventure game where the player controls the title character, Cookie Blair, with the mouse by having her interact with items and non-player characters by walking into them. Cookie's Bustle also uses several survival mechanics where the player must find food, drink, restrooms, and places for Cookie to rest, as well as kiss her by clicking her when she gets lonely. If the player fails to do so, Cookie will return home, ending the game. Conversely, the player can have Cookie eat too much or hazardous things, thereby reducing her skills in the sports mini games.

Dialogue and events for plot-irrelevant non-player characters are randomized. The cut scenes in the game utilize QuickTime.

A hundred years prior to the events of the game, aliens crash-landed on Bombo World, a fictional island country in the South Pacific. In exchange for the aliens' technology, the President of Bombo World gave them the northern part of the island, where the aliens established Derocity. However, some of the Bombo World citizens opposed this exchange and has resulted in terrorist activity against the Bombo World government and the aliens.

The player takes control of Cookie Blair (voiced by Racco Guma), a five-year-old girl from New Jersey who believes she is a bear. She travels to Bombo World to compete in the Bombo World Olympics, a sports event held in Derocity every four years. Other characters central to the game include Nancy Blair (voiced by Miyuki Ichijo), Cookie's grandmother; Unmo Sable (voiced by Shigeru Shibuya), a novelist who helps Cookie get to Derocity; Dr. Right (voiced by Mugihito), a professor; Mr. Goldman (voiced by Kōsei Tomita), a former athlete who Cookie convinces to become her coach; and Jessica (voiced by Satomi Kōrogi), a musician who Cookie meets in Derocity.

Cookie's Bustle was designed and conceptualized by Keisuke Harigai, who was also in charge of planning and control. It was produced as Rodik's first video game, a company of which at the time had a total of eight employees. 5 years to develop. Harigai stated that the game was developed with Macromedia Director instead of C++ because of its "multi-platform capability" and effectiveness in reducing development time.

Harigai coded the game in Windows while the game assets were created through Macintosh. The 3D assets were created through 3D Studio Max and Poser. The dialogue for Cookie and the non-playable characters were programmed with Lingo so that various conversations can be held between them. Harigai stated in 2001 that Cookie's Bustle originally targeted the European market.

A company named Graceware filed copyright claims to the game in late December 2022 and January 2023, taking down online footage and other related media. The Video Game History Foundation, who had obtained a CD-ROM of the game and catalogued it on their digital archive, also received takedown notices from the Ukie trade association on behalf of Graceware. The Video Game History Foundation notified Ukie that the takedown notices were not legally enforceable, as Graceware could not prove that they own the copyright, resulting in Ukie no longer sending takedown notices regarding the game.

Despite Rodik closing down, the original developers were made aware of the game's newfound fame and invited players who purchased the original game to a 25th anniversary party in 2026.
