Nekokami - The Human Restoration Project news & patch notes

Hello Planetary Architects!

Thank you for the suggestions and bug reports! We have uploaded several rounds of post-launch updates and fixes:

Additions/Changes 👏

• A mysterious shrine now appears in Paperbag Point in Chapter 4. Our ancient Monk seems reluctant to let you approach the location!

• Non-gamepad devices will now be ignored by default. (If you have a gaming controller plugged in and would like to use keyboard and mouse you will still need to disable it manually in "Controller" under main menu)

• A language selection box will appear when you first start the game.

Bug Fixes🔧

• Fixed a dialog issue when replaying an expedition.

• Fixed a lock-up issue due to Kami not arriving in Kunlun. (Chapter 4)

• Fixed issue of energy orbs hiding in the great wilderness in Savanna Biome.

• Digging out Deep Ruins on planets with artisan requirement will no longer lead to error. (Chapter 4)

• Fixed several random stories appearing in the wrong location in Chapter 4.

By the way, Haru has been added to the official Steam main capsule art of the game. Look at her blissful expression!

(Oh, if you haven't met her yet, she will kind of appear starting from Chapter 3. 🤡)

Enjoy the time with the Cats!

Love,

Rocket-in-Bottle Team

Hi Planetary Architects,

Yay! Chapter 3 finale and Chapter 4 have arrived!

Is this the v1.0 Release?

🍄New Content

  • Early Access Players: Please head to Galala Valley if you have finished everything in the last Content update.

For details, see:

Thank you all for your support of Nekokami's Early Access. As always, please let us know any feedback, bugs, or suggestions in whichever channel suits you!

Love,

Rocket-in-Bottle Team 🚀

Hello Planetary Architects,

As we approach our scheduled v1.0 release date, it's time to talk about Chapter 4! After the climactic ending of Chapter 3, which we can't spoil here, your life in Nekokami will enter a new stage! 🎁

A New Chapter! 🎆

In Chapter 4, you are free to venture into new content or revisit your favorite biomes, colleagues, and Kami! We’ll make sure you enjoy both — there will be new twists and surprises in your most familiar biomes. You are now a hero of the Milky Way, and everyone is eager for your expertise. Wait, I didn’t spoil any of the story, did I?

We intend Chapter 4 to be a slower-paced adventure. Planetary creation should feel more like a daily activity. You're a legendary Planetary Architect now. "What should I be creating today?"

When we first started designing Nekokami, we wanted the experience to resemble one of our inspirations: the classic jigsaw puzzle — simple to pick up anytime, yet endlessly replayable, offering a quiet and meditative experience. 🌻We wanted Nekokami to move in that direction — a game you can sit down with, relax, clear your mind, and enjoy, then return to anytime, whether after a day’s work or even months or years later.

By the time you reach Chapter 4, there should be a critical mass of gameplay systems that makes this possible. You can choose to help Mr. Autumn or Prof Shoebox, and you’ll instinctively know what each choice involves. You can also set the game to Carefree difficulty and create expressively. You can binge-create worlds of the same biome, or hop from one department to another and indulge in the diversity of the Milky Way.

How about the Story?

The story of Nekokami continues! There are 50+ story snippets scattered across the Milky Way. There are Secrets to be discovered, if you are interested. Maybe you still want to find out what happened to humanity?

New Biome: Ancient Biome 🔮

We covered the Winter Biome earlier — here’s another new biome in Chapter 4!

*Spoiler alert if you haven't reached near the end of Chapter 3 in-game.

Venture into the abandoned, or outright dangerous star systems that went through the Invasion of Chaos. The Ancient Biome tells the history of Cats, and to an equal degree that of the Dogs and Rabbits, in the Milky Way.

What truly happened? Not even E.Y.E. can tell you — he was born after that. 👻 Maybe you will see why the Cats themselves can't even properly tell you their full history, let alone humans.

That's all for now. We can't wait to deliver Chapter 4 into your hands!

Rocket-in-Bottle Team 🚀

Hello Planetary Architects ✨,

Just to let everyone know that we are working day and night towards our upcoming v1.0 release! This release will include the finale of Chapter 3 and a brand new Chapter 4 that features a slightly different pace of gameplay. We can't spoil too much here but we'll share more details in the coming month. 🌱

Some screenshot teasers for our Chapter 3 finale...? The Kami Elders would like to... TEST you...?

🌌 What does v1.0 mean for Nekokami?

The v1.0 milestone means that the Nekokami experience has matured through the valuable feedback of our Early Access supporters. Planetary architects who desire a self-contained, complete experience can now safely jump in at the v1.0 launch! However, like most games on Steam, we will continue to update the game after release, so it’s not the end of our adventure!

🍄 Will there be a price adjustment?

Yes, there will be a slight price adjustment as planned. The v1.0 release will offer a gameplay of 50-60 hours of a full playthrough.

Steam has a unique procedure for Early Access game to adjust their launch price - we have to update the pricing to our v1.0 launch price ONE MONTH before the official v1.0 release date. Hence, on 10 Mar 2026, after the small discount available at the time of writing, we will adjust to our full launch price!

May we take this opportunity to thank all our Early Access supporters and streamers who have contributed to the ongoing development of Nekokami since 2024. 🌸 We can't wait to get the v1.0 delivered to you!

Rocket-in-Bottle Team 🚀

Hello Planetary Architects 🛸,

Happy Holidays! It's near the end of 2025, and it's cold here! We would like take the chance to share with you our progress with Nekokami. It's probably quite obvious - the upcoming biome will be Winter!⛄It's actually only ONE of the upcoming biomes but it makes the most sense to share it now, right?

We are nearing the end of our Early Access so we are finalizing what features are definitely going into our 1.0 release. 🙌 One thing in particular is that we are not satisfied in how we now summon our bonded Kami and how they are going to help. Here's a preview of the coming changes:

We're also implementing "Memories", as suggested by some of our esteemed Early Access players. Our Planetary Architects might come back to the job after a long break and you might want to remind yourselves the mischiefs you have done together...

🍄 Will there be new content after 1.0 release?

Of course! Version 1.0 simply means we will no longer have experimental or unconfirmed features in the game. If you suggestions or feedback that would best be delivered to us before 1.0 release, please feel free to post here or let us know in the Discord!

Wish you all the best and have a great 2026!

Rocket-in-Bottle Team 🚀

Hello Planetary Architects,

Please welcome Paperbag Monk, proud protector of one of the Four Artifacts of the Milky Way! The Paperbag Monk will now provide company sponsored spiritual training for all new employees. Guess that includes you!

This Major Update includes:

🛸 New Content

• The Paperbag Point, now accessible from the Milky Way 🌌. The new Star System comes with new daily Expeditions and one Certificate plus a Steam Achievement🏆 for our players to unlock.

• The Paperbag Monk of the Still Water Temple maintains a strange device called 🦋 The Dream Launcher... The original Mileage System has been simplified. You will now unlock cards in The Dream Launcher simply by your Total Tile Mileage!

• EYE and Chief Xia has opened their Shops 🏪! There are a total of 8 cosmetic items available for you in N43 and Paperbag Point respectively. Time to spend your hard-earned Reputations!

  Where EYE's shop is located in N43:

🔧 Functionality

• You can now access the famous Nekokami Company Intranet, for real! It comes with a 💬 video message box, 📝 TO-DO list, and two 🎚️game progress meters - Colleague Relations and your Kami Encounters.

• Since we are in Early Access, naturally, you will not be able to achieve 100% completion at the moment.

• Many Kami that appear on the planet now have improved animation. Elders of the Desert, which strangely resembles Chief Xia, will now appear on certain special Tiles.

🎯 Fixes and Improvements

• The Options menu and various menus are completely revamped. Options that cannot be changed in-game are now clearly indicated. This includes the "Large Screen UI" option and language options.

• In response to player feedback, you can now choose how plugged-in controllers behave (P1, P2, or Disabled) from the Controllers section in the Main Menu.

Our Discord Server, ☕ "A Tiny Corner of the Milky Way", has just been made available! It will be a hub for everything about Nekokami and all the cozy games we will be creating. We are a super tiny indie so it won't be too busy, but join us if you are interested?

Rocket-in-Bottle Team

Hello Planetary Architects ✨,

It's us! We have been busy preparing a functionality update for Nekokami! Chapter 4 won't be arriving yet - this update is about some essential polish needed for our eventual 1.0 release early next year. Some improvements that we promised our Early Access players will also be included.

First of all, we have a Discord now! 🍵 Come join us at A Tiny Corner of the Milky Way:

Join Our Discord!

As we approach 1.0 we believe we need an extra means to connect with our players. It won't really be a busy place but do come and drop by!

One of the major changes in the upcoming update is that The Dream Garden🌱 will now be folded into the main campaign. Paperbag Monk, our third (actually second in proper appearing order) Holy Cat with his Artifact, will now await our Planetary Architect recruits in the Paperbag Point. Hm... hello?

Another major functionality is the Nekokami Company Intranet! 💻 It's something you can truly get your hands on now. It comes with video messages from colleagues, your TODO list, and tracking towards your completion of the game!

And, that's not all! We have shops! We are testing a total of EIGHT cute cosmetic upgrades that you can purchase with your Reputation! 👻 You heard me right, you can finally squander your hard-earned Reputation on totally silly cat stuffs.

The update will arrive sometime next week and we will be joining Steam's Animal Fest 🐈🐇🐕 around the same time. Once the update arrives, please pay our esteemed Paperbag Monk a visit. Who's not curious what's under the bag?

Rocket-in-Bottle Team 🚀

Hello all current and aspiring Planetary Architects!

It's Anniversary for Nekokami's Early Access! 🌟🍾🎉

Well, technically our game was launched into Early Access around the end of June 2024, but we kept keep debugging and patching the game fanatically until it is pretty bug-free in... Aug? So here we are, from that point to now:

• 30-40 hours of gameplay 🌱

• 22 Star Systems and 6 biomes 🌱

• Almost 3 Chapters of cat adventures and mysteries of human extinction (oops) 🌱

• 30 Kami and over a dozen Future Cat colleagues and personalities (ALL CATS) 🌱

We are really really grateful for the patience and contributions of our Early Access supporters. 🌳 To celebrate the anniversary, let's have a sneak peek of what's coming up for Nekokami!

Chapter 4 ❄️

Hm, we cannot give any spoilers for our last Chapter except it is about Winter and it's all over the Milky Way 🌌. An epic ending to your adventure in Nekokami Inc. awaits:

Gallery of Kami (Cats) ⛩

Upon full release there will be tentatively 40 Kami that you can encounter, several among which you will deeply bond with. We are updating the Journal so you have a vivid gallery showing your progress:

Colleague Relation 💼

We have also improved the way you visualize relationships with your colleagues. They are crucial to the SECRETS 🌙 you will finally uncover in Chapter 4... Your CEO is very pleased with this new feature, at least:

By the way we have slightly adjusted upward the price of Nekokami due to the new content but we are also running a special discount these two weeks so new aspiring Planetary Architects can grab it with the same price as before! If you have not joined Early Access yet itching to or you wish to gift a friend it's a good time!

We actually have a lot more in store please stay tuned!

Rocket-in-Bottle Team 🚀

Hello Planetary Architects,

It's Spring!💐

Well, it's actually almost summer but in the Nekokami universe, Spring is coming! In the season of growth, renewal and confusion, our Spring Council Member and her buddies are waiting to meet the company's latest rising star.

Major Gameplay Changes📣

Hill Tiles: Hill Tiles can now only be placed where there are at least two adjacent Tiles (of any type). This gives Hill Tiles a more unique gameplay identity. Catcus Habitats: The Cat's favorite succulents now have a stricter size limit. Flower Habitats: Kami Approval has slightly decreased. They are still as beautiful as ever.

New Content🎁

Chapter 2 Finale: Star System Pan New Hub Systems: Seat of Seasons, The Blooms, Sector 79, Galala Valley. New secrets of the universe will unfold! New Star Systems, each with unique gameplay: Udon'en, Garden of Oden, Tamago Reserve, Pastry, Pho, Katsu, Trials of ChaoFan 14 new Kami Visitors and 8 new BGM tracks. We have proudly updated our Early Access Meter:

Other Improvements🎉

The mythical Golden People and Silver People now have a stronger ancient civilization aesthetic and will react to your planet creation with small docks, city gates etc. All cat portraits in Chapter 2 have been retouched and updated! You can now see their mesmerizing kawaii eyes much more clearly before they mess up your planet! Getting around the Milky Way🌌 will be much easier now. The Milky Way itself is better visualized, and administrators/key cats of each star systems are highlighted. Star Systems will now show certain important statuses - whether you are waiting for a colleague 📆, or a colleague is waiting for you, or you have earned a Certificate already . Continuous improvement on the localization. We have previously delivered various new functionality in Jan as well:

The Road Ahead🚀

With the work in these 9 months our tiny team of two has gained some first hand experience to better estimate the amount of work needed to bring Nekokami to version 1.0. We are glad to say that we have "leveled up" in our general production ability, BUT, at the same time, Chapter 4, our last chapter, is going to be huge. Therefore, we’ve decided to extend the Early Access period slightly. The full 1.0 release is now planned for early 2026. 📅 Thank you for your patience and support!

Thank you so much for supporting the Early Access of Nekokami! Hope you have the best time with your colleagues and the Kami. 🌟 Please don't forget to report any bugs you encounter in your new adventures using our in-game link! Rocket-in-Bottle Team

Hello Planetary Architects, Here we are, the last part of our progress update. Some of you may have started the journey when we first launched into Early Access. The feline folks and gods will be quite disappointed if your memory of them are already fading, but maybe it's a good idea to give a small summary of the story so far?

📃The Story So Far

Spoilers for existing content. You started your career with our Caretaker greeting you at the office... with all the suspicious signals that he is "up to something"...?! Things spiral as you realize you are simply a magnet of Kami and they just love "helping out" in every one of your Expeditions... be it a lush paradise, a desert, or a home for the Golden Humans. Oh, the tiny Golden fellows, loved by the Cats and Mr. Autumn, in particular. Did you manage to help Senpai on his troubles? Well, there're greedy, virulent intelligent races unlike the Golden Humans. One species in particular expanded star system to star system until they met their doom under the wrath of the Kami... As we reach the end of Chapter 2, your favorite AI, EYE, has informed you that Mr. Autumn is not alright....

👻Surprises Along the Journey

We must again thank you the patience of our Early Access supporters. As you are probably aware, we are slightly behind schedule. This Content Update is significantly larger than the EA-launch gameplay, so for this novice duo of developers, the production of the Update has already been one very long journey full of surprises... One surprise, for instance, happened when we create the artwork for our new characters - we realize that the original ones look,.. dull?! Blasphemy to our feline gods! Turns out that we need to go back and improve almost all of our existing artwork... Now you will see more emotions from your best friends: You now know that Manager Sori is keeping some secrets when not saying sorry... Or Priest Collar is kind of really a priest... And, wait, who is this? As the game get so much larger we also realize in our play testing that it is so easy to get lost now. We again then needed to take some time to improve the overall Milky Way experience... Oh there are so much more. Can't wait to deliver this new Nekokami experience to you all! Let me end the progress updates series with a farm field and a giant cat (?). Hope you enjoyed it and the new adventures will arrive very soon! Rocket-in-Bottle Team

Hello Planetary Architects,

⚡Kami Preview

In this fourth post of our series, we are going to preview... the Kami! There're a total of TWELVE brand new Kami who will join forces in messing up... I mean, "helping" you in your career! Hm, but we don't want to spoil the surprise... so let's have some teaser screenshots for a Guess-a-Kami?(...some of them are easier than the others) (The secrets of the Milky Way are safe, for now. 🌠 )

🔮UI/Menu Improvements

Btw, there will be a ton of UI improvements 🔧 that will come along with the Content Update. For instance, human species as well as special rules for the planet will now be shown clearly in the Expedition Summary: (Look at the glittering face of the Golden Human!) The main menu will feature tiny worlds that tempt you with glimpses of future adventure: Hope you enjoy the progress update. We are working real hard to bring the naughty cats to you all. Thank you again for your support! Rocket-in-Bottle Team

🤝Local Co-op Game Mode

• Surprise! We had this experimental two-player game mode brewing for some time. Enjoy your Planetary adventure in the Nekokami universe with another human!
• The Co-op Game Mode, as the name suggests, is highly cooperative. Players will share the same Tile queue and take turns to create beautiful planets and meet the objectives.
• At least one controller is required. Please see second part of the post for more details.

🔥 Other New Features

• Surveying a placed Tile will now show a mini-Hexagon with iconic representation of constituents of the Tile.
• The star system display will now feature the associated main character(s). This will help players get around more easily.

🔧Bug Fixes and Other Improvements

• Fixed a bug that prevent players from getting the "A Good Dream" achievement.
• The landing animation has been further improved.
• Slight visual changes to Expeditions across the Milky Way.
• Polish over Chinese and Japanese localization in story dialog. We will keep improving them!

🔰 How to Start Local Co-Op Mode

Hello Planetary Architects,

Schedule Update: Q1 2025 📅

First, a schedule update - the ETA for Chapter 3 is now Q1 2025! We have all the gameplay ready, but we are still working hard to resolve bugs and catch up with the localization and music. We wish to stress that the content update will be BIG, and we need to make sure our Early Access players will have a smooth experience through the Chapter 2 finale and beyond. So, we must humbly ask for your patience. Thank you! In this third post of the series, we will address one concern from some of our beloved Early Access players - why all planets so far are Earth-lookalikes? Where are our alien landscapes of a universe ruled by the Future Cats? 👽

Onsen Biome ♨️

Let me introduce you to the Onsen Biome - a biome where Kami Energy is far too intense for general Human habitation. Excess Kami Energy crystallizes on the planet surface as Kaminites💎. Most of these planets have the most healing Onsens in the Milky Way. And of course the Kami knows that very well! Create the Osens to bring Luck to their visitors and yourself. Make sure the temperature is right, though.

Frontier Biome 🌄

The other one is the Frontier Biome. When planets are first formed physically, not even the Kami has arrived. Nekokami Co's mysterious high-tech networks🔮 has just started deploying... Hm... the drawings look familiar... why are they all over the place...? And who are we summoning?! Both of these Biomes will offer refreshing unique gameplay, such asadjusting Onsen temperature for the Kami, fixing Kami Energy pipelines, and even preparing for installation of EYE on planets (?)! Don't worry. They all sound more challenging than they really are. If the Cats can do it, so can you! We can't wait to get you all to visit these wonderful planets 🚀. Thank you again for your support! Rocket-in-Bottle Team

Hello Planetary Architects, In this second post of the series, we are going to look at two of the upcoming Biomes 🌵🌴🌲, both under management of our yet-to-reveal Spring Council Member. One-third of our Nekokami experience is building soothing diorama of nature on deliciously named planets. Let's take a preview of the tranquil nature 🌰 you will create before the naughty cats try to steal the spotlight again?

Fertile Biome🌾

The first Biome is the Fertile Biome 🌾, the "official" biome of Spring. The keywords for the Biome is Variety and Artisanry. Did you notice in the above planet, Bushes, Trees and Flowers come in more than one species? Arrangement of the different species, along with various rules over how Habitats should be formed, will determine your Artisanry of your Planetary Creation. Earn Artisanry Points and prove to the Kami your growth as Planetary Architect! The Artisanry system features a slower gameplay that rewards well crafted Habitats and patience. Kind of how gardening works actually.

Jungle Biome 🌳

The second Biome is the Jungle Biome 🌳. The keywords for the biome is Secrets and Unknown. The Jungle is dense, and the planet is no longer yours alone. Navigating and creating Habitats in the dense Jungle can be challenging. There are Secrets to be Explored and Found. Now that's a genuine Expedition! One more thing.. they call the Kami there... "Others"... Oh, did you notice the Mushrooms 🍄? True to the philosophy of the two Biomes, there are a total of FOUR species of them, each with their own characteristics! Some precious, some undesirable, some outright nasty! We will keep them a secret, for now. Remember, that's only a preview of two of the many new mechanics you will encounter in Chapter 3. As per our tradition, we have a surprise🌋awaiting our Planetary Architect in every new star system! Rocket-in-Bottle Team

Hello Planetary Architects, It's about time we reveal more details about the upcoming Major Content Update, which we target to deploy before end of year. Major Content Updates are big updates. In the Chapter 3 Update, you will get to catapult your career to new heights with: 🌱 Four brand new biomes, each with unique mechanics! 🌌 9 Playable Star Systems and 4 new destinations on the Milky Way! 🎶 10+ new Kami and Colleagues and lots and lots of cats! 🍄 Brand new gameplay mechanics that are challenging, relaxing or outright silly! 🔧 Tons of UI and gameplay improvements The update will push the total Story gameplay hours to 30 hours total. The quality control has become a little bit challenging for our two person team but we will try our best to keep the promise of delivering within Q4 of 2024!

🍂 Chapter 2 Finale

If you have already joined our Early Access, you will definitely know that the Chapter 3 Update will include the Chapter 2 Finale as well. You have probably saved poor Senpai, but will you be able to save Mr. Autumn? Our noble Golden People is in the center stage of our Chapter. We have upgraded their representation to better portray them as being technologically primitive but mythologically advanced at the same time. Behold their floating Golden Gardens! You can definitely tell them apart from our forest guardians (Olive People) now: The Autumn Biome was our first biome and needed some love. The improvements can be subtle: We can't spoil anything else for the Chapter 2 Finale, so that's all for now. We will look at the one of the new biomes in the next post! Rocket-in-Bottle Team

🌌 Star System Updates

• Expedition objectives have been adjusted. New objectives have been introduced to offer more variety for our Planetary Architects.
• Mochi Star System: As you can see from the GIF at the top of the post, Professor's vessel can now be spotted wandering around your creation site. The deployment of B.O.X.es has been rebalanced to allow better gameplay flow.
• Tempura Star System: The planets ravaged by greedy lifeforms now have a proper ravaged look.

🌟Kami Changes

• Chief Xia offers more interesting gameplay when he arrives.
• Kami of the Wetland is now more difficult to handle, like a proper cat! He will also now pop up somewhere on the planet when he's about to "have fun" with you!
• Kami arrivals now have a more exciting look. You might have seen in in our new trailer. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889893/dbabfd8a18402da35d89bc7c7479c9e181039496.png
• Improved writing in several conversations with various Kami.

🌺 Other Graphics Updates

• Tons of portrait updates. We actually keep polishing them over time. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889893/794db60e64149b102cd5f7b75df8e17ce5affa25.png
• Housing for different minor species of Humans 🏡 now have their own distinctive looks. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889893/e62654ca575fbb6e817fde369b07a7079325895a.png
• Lanterns and water bowls in the Dream Garden now have several random variations.
• Even the Star Systems look prettier now! 🌼 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44889893/907de6bd8df4b9033afd9f07c86153bf8e7cfff5.png

☁️ Steam Cloud Save

Q: WAAH I've finished all the content so far and won't see all the pretty updates!

Just to let everyone know, we have a trailer for our Early Access release!

The new trailer showcases many visual improvements we've added to the game over the past month. They will arrive via the next update along with some gameplay balancing changes. Please stay tuned!

Hm... why does the Early Access trailer come after the Early Access release?

Hm, because we are in a universe ruled by Future Cats? Maybe that's how cat would do it! Seriously, though, we are a really tiny team. No team of PR. No publisher. So we handcraft everything one at a time! We truly appreciate your patience and your support of indie creations. 🌱 Rocket-in-Bottle Team
