About the Game

Step into Nekogumi, a cat café where life moves at a gentle purr.

Join Bruce, a tuxie who loves to cosplay and roam around town. Spruce up the cat café and dress up or down. Gather your crew and just chill as a cat, you get a free pass as a cat boss~

No rush, no chaos (well… depending on your definition of chaos)—just you, your café, and a parade of charming guests looking for the perfect feline friend. And yes, they’ll pay you for being a cat.

How does it work?

Guests arrive with their own quirks and cravings—your job is to pair them with the perfect cat. Here’s what you’ll do:

• 🐾 Match cats to guests through a playful food menu.

• 🧠 Toggle hints or trust your memory for extra rewards—your choice!

• ⚡ Light energy management: Keep cats energized, but don’t worry—they’ll never quit on you.

Make it yours.

Earn rewards to decorate your café with warm furniture, playful décor, and little touches that make it feel like home. Unlock new cats, meet quirky characters, and follow a light-hearted story as your café blossoms into the coziest workplace for whiskered employees.

Features at a Glance :

• 🐾 Match Cats to Guests: No scary timers, no stress—just pure cozy fun. Enjoy a total of 40 re-playable days/levels!

• 💰 Spend Your Coins Your Way: Buy new furniture for the café, or splurge on your wardrobe. Play dress-up with Bruce—when will you ever get a cat to cooperate with weird costumes?

• 🏠 Decorate Your Dream Café: From comfy chairs to cute knick-knacks.

• 🌸 Relaxing Vibes: Soft visuals, soothing music, and plenty of purrs.

• 🐀 Occasional Rat-Slapping Required: But no blood, no gore—we promise!

• 📖 Light Story: Meet delightful characters and uncover their tales.

Curl up, sip your favourite tea, and let Nekogumi whisk you away to a world of cats and calm.
