Mineko's Night Market

Mineko's Nightmarket brings us to a new village in the shoes of young Mineko. Together with her new friend, we discover that there is a lot going on in this village, and we can help out by crafting and selling items at the Nightmarket. For our financial success, we collect various items during Mineko's exploration in the village and other parts we can travel to by bus. The first thing that stood out to me was the dialogue between Mineko and the villagers. They all have a very goofy approach to life, and that was fun in itself. Early on, we learn the basics about crafting and collecting items, since it plays a huge role in the progression of the story. And here is where it gets repetitive. Getting up every day to venture out to collect flowers, paper, cat fur, and other items until the market day happens once a week. Sure, you can sell your stuff in a local shop, but the profit isn't as big as at the Nightmarket. At the Nightmarkets we get to haggle over the prices a bit and might get more profit. The villagers start demanding things and give us stuff in return if we get them what they want. I do like the vibe of the village, but the gameplay was rather disappointing. I see the g…

I played this game on the release emadialty, it even had an error in the first hours where the game was even priced 5 bucks cheaper and yes, I bought it right at that time. It was a eventfull time, the game was very buggy, from minor to big bugs that would make the game crash or you couldn't progress further. Despite it all, I enjoyed it. I wish the devs. had more time to polish it, market it and have more playtesters before the release itself. Even tho it was very chaotic, the devs. did their best and worked basically day/night to fix every single bug that was reported, they pushed out basicaly daily new updates/fixes on steam. I even joined their Discord Server to recieve help and give help where I could, to progress any further. Aside of the hardships, the game was very unique, cozy and whimsical. The artstyle is one of the prettiest ones I've ever seen in a game, the whole atmosphere is very homey and cozy. I loved the crafting, the small quests and I was always looking forward to the nightmarkets! It's been now almost three years since I've played Mineko's Night Market and this game lingers in my mind. There was even a makeship plush of Mineko herself, which I was looking…

The pacing was awful. The number of message in bottles and wind-up fish I got while fishing was extremely excessive to the point of being enraged when looking for specific fish. Very cute idea, beautiful artwork, honestly would be a great game if not for the pacing creating frustration in a cozy game.

I absolutely LOVE this game. The art style is amazing. The music is wonderful. All the characters are so cute and have different needs and interests from one another. I do question why adults think Mineko should be buying all this stuff for em and fixing their houses when she can't be more than 10 or 11 at best but eh lol. I am really enjoying all the crafting, gifting, toe bean growing, gathering, house fixing, fishing, and everything else this game has to offer. It is absolutely a favorite game of mine now and my community has really been enjoying watching me play it. Thank you for making such a wonderful gane!

It is the most cozy game ever!! i didn't want to to stop!! Absolutely super cute! :) Very wholesome!

Cute easy-to-play game; children will get more out of it then an adult player. Really lovely aesthetic.
