The game combines light puzzle-solving with idle combat elements. Players control Alice, a blonde girl in a blue dress who wakes up in darkness with no memory. By clicking to pet a cat that appears, players earn 'Neko Coins.' These coins can be used to purchase items such as a 'right hand' for petting, mice, cat grass, and weapons to strengthen combat abilities. Beyond the starting room lies the 'Abyss,' where auto-battles against enemies take place. Progress in the Abyss gradually fades the darkness in the room. The game also features a unique idle mechanism where industries only operate when 'gazed upon.' Players explore rooms, obtain items, solve puzzles, and uncover secrets hidden in a mansion. The visuals use retro pixel art with a dark fairy-tale aesthetic. The full version's release date has not been announced, but wishlist registration is open on Steam.","why_it_matters":"The demo introduces a novel idle-game twist where progression pauses unless the player actively watches the screen, a mechanic that could differentiate it in a crowded clicker market.","published_at":"2026-05-26T08:00:45.000Z","source_count":2,"sources":["4Gamer.net","Denfaminicogamer"],"citations":[{"source":"4Gamer.net","title":"Pet cats, collect coins, and gather equipment.
