Nekokami – The Human Restoration Project
Start an epic yet relaxing world-building adventure with Nekokami!
Architect beautiful, cozy planets in a far-future where Cats rule the universe. Befriend wondrous and whimsical spirits of nature. Restore and manage extinct Humans. With Cats in charge, what could POSSIBLY go wrong?
In Nekokami, you will:
- Create beautiful worlds of natural habitats and human settlements with strategic, or spontaneous, placement of tiles in a unique hand-drawn-like art style.
- Craft infinite planets with procedurally generated challenges. Pursue your own creative desires, or rise in rank in Nekokami Co., your employer, by creating worlds that beat expectations.
- Follow an epic, whimsical yet heartwarming story of Human-Cat friendship, set millennia later in the future.
- Befriend a wide selection of Kami, spirits of the nature and the universe, and see them bring miracles (or totally innocent CATastrophes) to your work.
Nekokami Co. is commissioned to manage planets all over the universe. That’s a LOT of planets! Environment, biomes and rules differ from Star System to Star System.
I did mention the Kami*, right? Technically the spirits are the real fellows creating the worlds. As a Planetary Architect, you are basically borrowing their Creative Energy for your own use. 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?
*Kami is actually a Japanese word and concept that roughly translates to “spirits and gods”.
Nekokami is inspired by all-time favorites like Dorfromantik and Townscaper. We wish to push the genre further with a humorous and wholesome story. Please try our unique gameplay in the Prologue!

I'm really loving this game. It keeps varying up the ruleset and introducing new ideas constantly - reminds me of mixing new expansions into a board game. Finished worlds have a wonderful organic look to them.
It's a pretty chill experience, and IMO takes a little too long to get going, but once it does the puzzles get nice and meaty. You can always make it easier/harder regardless.
The cats are cute, and so far the story has been charming.

good but faaaaaaaaaaaaar too long
the majority of small expeditions could be bundled together into medium ones, because you just keep repeating the same things over and over again
or just delete/make optional half of them
lost the drive to continue after starting act 4, when the game told me to gather one hundred meaningless points to continue the story, ~1 per finished planet (and one planet takes ~15 minutes)

So far, I am enjoying Nekokami very much. It scratches the hex-tile-puzzle itch while having enough of its own flavor and unique mechanics as to not just be Dorfromantik again but with a coat of kitty paint. While there are some aspects of the controls that could use a bit of polish, the game more than makes up for it in heart. The characters are especially charming (poor hapless Senpai!) and plenty remind me of coworkers and cats that I've known.

Lovely little puzzle game with a cast of quirky cats and even quirkier cat-kami. I really like the puzzling part, especially focus on the biomes. And the artstyle is really charming.

This game is so fun, cute, and perfect for the casual/cozy gamer. Even though they are still adding content there is still plenty of content for hours of play. I also liked the real time mechanic of certain quests so you have to pace yourself a little bit. I'm excited for more!
