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!

Games that push their genres and seek to expand the genres even more as they develop are my favorite games. AAA game studios take note.

I usually don't buy EA games but the demo of Nekokami played really well, so I gave it a shot. Gotta say this is a wonderful tiles builder with a lot of content already! Played both on keyboard and controller, each works really well. There are no perfect placements, which makes it more laid-back together with the cute visuals and regular extra resource clicks on the maps. There are other twists (cats!) added that give this game a unique feeling! Overall can recommend for a fair price and looking forward what else the devs will add to the game until full release!
