🐾 1st October 2025 - Nekogumi Pounces into Steam Next Fest This October with a Demo

Ki-nodes Studio is thrilled to announce Nekogumi, a cozy, third-person café-adventure game starring Bruce, a tuxedo cat with a flair for cosplay and a heart for community. The game’s demo will be featured in Steam Next Fest, inviting players to step into Bruce’s paws and transform a humble cat café into the soul of the neighborhood.

In Nekogumi, players run a café, complete quests, battle pesky rats, and recruit a crew of delightfully odd animal companions. With a blend of café management, exploration, and dress-up mechanics, Bruce’s journey is as stylish as it is heroic. Whether you’re upgrading furniture or expanding your wardrobe, every day in the hood is a chance to bounce, pounce, and protect.

✨ Key Features:

• 🐱 Run your café and rule the hood

• 👗 Dress Bruce in quirky costumes and live out feline superhero fantasies

• 🐀 Complete quests and clean up the neighborhood

• 🐾 Recruit eccentric animal companions

• 🎮 Enjoy cozy, bouncy cat action with controller or keyboard

Developed in Unreal Engine 5, Nekogumi features hand-painted textures and stylized shaders that celebrate the artistry of indie development—no generative assets, just pure visual charm.
