About Nekokami - The Human Restoration Project
✨ Nekokami is a meditative, calming tile building game where you play as a time-traveler to a far future Milky Way managed by... benevolent Future Cats with super advanced technologies. Why it has to be the Cats? And where are the Humans? In Nekokami, you will:
We repeat again: the Universe of Nekokami is thoroughly, totally inhibited by Cats. Your colleagues are Cats. You seem to be a Cat. Even the gods and spirits (the Kami*) roaming among the stars are Cats!
🚀 Developer's Note
This game is being created by a tiny tiny indie game studio in Fukuoka, Japan. We hope you'll enjoy it! Feel free to leave us a message in our tiny Discord server.
- 🌏 Create beautiful worlds of natural habitats and human settlements with strategic, or spontaneous, placement of tiles in a unique hand-drawn-like art style.
- 🌌 Follow an epic, whimsical yet heartwarming story of Human-Cat friendship, set millennia in the future.
- 💼 Earn your place in Nekokami Co., your employer, by creating worlds that beat expectations. Or just relax. Your bosses are Cats after all.
- 🔮 Befriend a selection of over 40 Kami, spirits of the nature and the universe, and see them bring miracles (or totally innocent CAT'astrophes) to your work.
We repeat again: the Universe of Nekokami is thoroughly, totally inhibited by Cats. Your colleagues are Cats. You seem to be a Cat. Even the gods and spirits (the Kami*) roaming among the stars are Cats!
- 🌟 Your Cat colleagues can be found working on all sorts of environments and biomes over the Milky Way. Every one of the 30+ Star Systems is a world of its own! Don't worry, your Cat colleagues probably don't completely get what they are doing as well. You can always experiment at your own pace.
- 🐈 Oh yes, the Kami. Technically the spirits are the real fellows creating the worlds. As a Planetary Architect, you are basically borrowing their Creative Energy. You will need to seek their acceptance and approval. Through their friendship, you will potentially learn the secrets of nature and the arcane laws of universe. Maybe someday you will be able to wield godly powers?

I am having a hard time coming up with words to describe how much I love this game! It's not only charming and fun, but it has a poignant message about nature. Nekokami also has all these themes I adore IRL so it's a perfect match for me! I can't wait for the next updates, and will certainly be coming back to this again and again. Thank you for making such a cute and introspective game, Rocket-in-Bottle.4 found this helpful
Excellent music, adorable graphics and characters, and super fun puzzle-y gameplay. You go through different environments building maps that hit different goals given by your quirky companions. I absolutely adore this game, would highly recommend!3 found this helpful
A very charming take on the genre. I enjoy its more casual approach. Plenty of cats, lovely art style, and relaxing gameplay. If that sounds appealing to you, it's definitely worth a try.
Very fun, The story is amazing. I love it
Nekokami might draw people in with it's cute cats but, as a fan of these relaxing hex-map building games, I feel it's really one of the best ones out there right now. The biggest difference from most of them is that, instead of the only objective being to make the map as big as possible, it has shortish, goal-orientated maps. Over the course of the game it introduces a surprising amount of different mechanics on the various maps to keep things fresh while progressing through it's relaxing, most often humour-driven narrative. The graphics are clean, stylized and the game runs well without being a resource hog (as are some of it's Unity-based peers). The information on tiles and objectives is easy to find but the menus can feel unintuitive and, in particular, the galaxy map is often confusing to navigate. The game itself can be fairly easy once you get the hang of it however there are difficulty options. Overall I would recommend Nekokami for any fan of the genre. Even if the silly cats don't pull you in I think the refreshing mechanics make it worth playing. If you're on the fence about it I think the demo is still available too.
Nekokami is a very chill tile placement game. The story and cast of characters is fun and often silly, and there's more story and gameplay hours than expected. A great game for casual play when you only have 15-30 minutes of downtime. It's great to load up, play through a planet, and then get back to whatever is demanding my attention that day. It's also a great end of day relaxation game!
