Neko Michi

[b]Neko Michi[/b] tries so hard to imitate [i][url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2678990/Minami_Lane/?curator_clanid=45365863]Minami Lane[/url][/i] that it borders on plagiarism, but fails to capture the original's charm or subtle complexity. The young devs at Eggtato were kind enough to provide a key in exchange for an honest review, and… well, please accept this as constructive feedback. [h3]Gameplay + Details[/h3] Literally [i]Minami Lane[/i]: there are five (5) chapters plus a sandbox unlocked after chapter three. Gameplay involves placing one building per day, balancing two populations with competing interests, refining menus, and picking up trash. The interface is almost identical right down to color and font. [b]Controls. [/b]Keyboard + Mouse. [b]Playtime. [/b]~2.5 hrs to finish 5 chapters (assuming no bugs). [b]Settings/Options.

[h3]What Works For Me[/h3] ✅ The cat fights were a fun touch. ✅ Cat-folk get high on catnip. ✅ Jaunty but inobtrusive music. ✅ The artwork is cute, but so derivative that I'm not convinced it's human-made.

love the game! it's really calming and mixing and matching recipes are so fun! especially having to balance the need of different types of cats wish there's more level to come

very cute and cozy game, but it's also pretty challenging. i do have a couple suggestions for this game: 1. add more window resolution options because i think this game is more enjoyable to play at a smaller window size. 2. add a retry option, because sometimes I forget to build a new building or update my bento or tea recipe, so it'd be nice if i could retry instead of waiting until the round is over. but overall the game is good, the music is chill and the artstyle is very cute! love it love it :D and i can definitely see myself playing this game while working or just to kill some time haha

This was such a short experience. The game is cute and all, but once you finish the 5 episodes there's nothing else to do besides the sandbox where you can build whatever you want. You can finish this game within 1 hour. I was disappointed with it because there's no point to come back to the game next day, only if you want repeat everything again. (which just becomes boring) I also think the game should be for free, paying for it even if it's only 5€ feels expensive because of what it offers... or more like... it doesn't.

Love the tons of adorable cats here! Nya... I love everything about cats, so I bought it without even thinking.

Neko Michi is a charming and relaxing game with adorable visuals and a cosy atmosphere. I especially enjoyed its simple gameplay and delightful cat-themed world, which made it easy to unwind and play at my own pace. It may feel a little repetitive after a while, but overall, it is a lovely experience. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys cute, casual, and stress free games.
