Our take on NEKOTO
NEKOTO centers on the contrast between working as a lost-cat finder and simply spending time observing cats. Its town also changes structure through random generation, making each visit use a different layout.
What is NEKOTO?
NEKOTO is a life simulation about living with a customized cat in a town where only people who live with cats can reside.
The player takes work finding lost cats, then goes out with the cat to explore and collect treasures. The cat has fullness and cheeriness levels: hunger can stop it from running, while low cheeriness can prevent it from approaching when called. Buying a dish and cat food restores fullness. Finding lost cats provides furniture and cat items for the home.
The game also supports spending time observing the town’s cats without working. Town layouts change through random generation, and cats can have about 26,000 physical-feature patterns. It includes a light opening and ending, with the ending available for purchase with money.
