About the Game

Play as Mikan, a cat running a small shelter for strays. 

Care for each cat, build trust over time, and help them find a home. Every day is limited, and every decision matters. You won't be able to do everything, so choosing what to prioritize becomes part of the experience. 

Not every adoption will go as planned. 

 Progress unfolds over multiple days, encouraging a relaxed pace.

 Balance cat care, exploration, and shelter responsibilities 

 Feed, groom, and play with each cat once per day

 Build bonding/trust over time through consistent care

 Different items affect how quickly cats bond with you

 Find Stray cats throughout the town and bring them to your shelter 

 Poor performance over time can impact your finances and reputation

 Help each cat find the right home when the time feels right

 Visit locations like the cemetery, Meowket, and town hall

 Find items, encounter stray cats, and uncover small stories

 Interact with townspeople who may return as adopters

Neko House is a quiet management game about care, routine, and small decisions. There's no rush, but you won't be able to do everything in a day.
