Why play it

When your grandfather passes away and you inherit his café, it's a tall task for anyone. But with the help of four talented catboys, Cafe Kin'uan is ready for business in Nekopara: Catboys Paradise!

Story and worldbuilding

Your grandfather has recently passed away and you end up inheriting his café and house. You intend to keep the café running as a tribute to your grandfather, but you have no idea as to where to start. That's when a school gets in touch with you and asks if you are willing to host some trainees who have some experience in running a café. You take the offer without much hesitation. To your surprise, however, the trainees are not four humans but four humanoid cats! Humanoid cat workers aren’t that rare these days, but this is still your first interacting with one. And thus, your story begins as you work alongside four catboys!

NEKOPARA - Catboys Paradise is a relaxing experience for all fans of the series who have always wondered what the male cat versions would be like. What will surely please you most is that you can play the game completely free of charge, and it offers the quality of the classic NEKOPARA we all know so well, including detailed visuals, professional voice acting, and an engaging story. Unfortunately, we don’t get to learn much from it, as the creators don’t reveal much to us.

While I’ve been mostly critical here, the game is an absolute treat to play through when taken on its own terms — but ultimately, it lays down the groundwork for something even greater. Fingers crossed this IP makes a return at some point in the future!
