About Nekokami - The Human Restoration Project
Nekokami – The Human Restoration Project is a meditative tile‑building adventure where you act as a time‑traveler crafting habitats and settlements across a future Milky Way overseen by benevolent Future Cats. The game blends strategic placement with a whimsical story of Human‑Cat friendship, letting you design worlds at your own pace.
Beyond building, you can befriend over 40 Kami—spirits that influence your creations—and work for Nekokami Co., a feline‑run corporation. Play solo or with friends in shared or split‑screen co‑op, and enjoy full controller support and adjustable accessibility options.
01 / THE GUIDE
Tile Building
The core activity is placing hand‑drawn‑style tiles to form natural habitats and human settlements. Placement can be strategic or spontaneous, allowing creative freedom while still aiming to meet expectations set by your feline employers.
Each tile contributes to the overall world, and the arrangement influences how the Kami react to your design. The visual style emphasizes a calming, artistic atmosphere, encouraging relaxed play.
- Experiment with both strategic and spontaneous placements to see how the Kami respond differently.
- Observe how tile adjacency affects the overall aesthetic; sometimes simple patterns create more pleasing habitats.
02 / THE GUIDE
Kami Friendship
You can befriend a selection of over 40 Kami, spirits of nature and the universe, who may bring miracles or harmless “CAT’astrophes” to your work. Gaining their acceptance unlocks deeper insights into the world’s arcane laws.
Friendship with Kami is central to progressing as a Planetary Architect, as their approval can influence the success of your creations and may hint at future god‑like powers.
- Spend time observing each Kami’s behavior before seeking their approval.
- Try varied building styles to discover which Kami respond most positively.
03 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Play
Nekokami supports both shared and split‑screen co‑op, allowing multiple players to build worlds together. This mode lets friends collaborate on tile placement and Kami interaction in real time.
Co‑op does not alter the core building mechanics; each participant still works within the same tile‑based system, making teamwork a matter of coordination rather than new gameplay rules.
- Communicate your building intentions early to avoid conflicting tile placements.
- Use split‑screen to give each player a clear view of their own area of the world.

Accessibility Options
The game includes adjustable text size, camera comfort settings, custom volume controls, adjustable difficulty, and a mouse‑only option. These features let players tailor the experience to personal comfort levels.
Full controller support is also provided, ensuring that players can choose their preferred input method without compromising the core gameplay.
- Adjust text size and camera comfort together for the most readable experience.
- Try the mouse‑only option if you find controller input less precise for tile placement.

Progress and Rewards
As you create worlds that meet or exceed expectations, you earn your place within Nekokami Co., reflecting your growth as a Planetary Architect. Progress is measured by the quality of your designs and the acceptance of Kami.
There is no timed input requirement, allowing you to progress at a relaxed pace while still achieving in‑game milestones tied to your building achievements.
- Focus on meeting the expectations of your feline bosses to see steady progress.
- Take advantage of the untimed nature of the game to refine designs before finalizing.
