Nekokami: Internship - The Prologue Adventure

So cozy and silly and HIGHLY ANNOYING SENPAI STOP PLACING IN RANDOM SPOTS-KAMI STOP MESSING WITH MY ROTATION!!! Excited to play the full game and meet new cats :3

This is such a big demo!! I love it. This is such a relaxing game, but not mindless, and there's an option to just play the game without any end goals, which is very nice. The graphics for the actual game part is soooo nice, and when you have landscapes or people lining up they float so you know what you're placing, which is great. I will say, despite how much I like the actual game-play, the dialogue is not good, and unfortunately is sometimes annoying. I think it is because the game is well developed and functions so smoothly that the dialogue seems clunky and boring. In my opinion, if your dialogue needs asterisks (*) to reveal the true feelings of a character, your dialogue is not well written. The drawings of the cats are significantly worse than the rest of the graphics, and it's quite jarring. While it's nice that you have a choice sometimes for the dialogue you say, it seems like your choices don't really matter (which defeats the purpose), and if I continue or buy the actual game, I will be skipping all of the dialogue, which is sad.

非常有意思 ，很好玩 ，决定要买正作。 但是， 有一处非常不爽！ 在卡米的名词解释那一页 ，大大的图案上写着“神” ，这是中国字 ，是我们伟大的祖先创立并流传下来的字 ，但是游戏里面的解释是“神”是古代日本人的词汇 。这个对于一个中国人的我来说表示无语 制作组你......我希望这一点能被修改。因为：1.中国和日本有战争历史仇恨，日本人偷盗我们的文化文字；2.这是中国字，不是刚刚好一样的字，这就是中国字。日文里没有别的这么多笔画的文字，文字风格也不是这样的，只有中文有这样的规则。

"Nekokami: Internship - The Prologue Adventure" is not a game, it's an advertisement for an unfinished Early Access game, basically a lame version of Sid Meier's Beyond Earth only with cats and bad mobile app tier graphics. When developers throw up advertisements instead of truly free games, it pollutes Steam. Sure, they think they're being clever by getting a store page advert for their game, but this pollutes Steam and makes it harder for genuine free games to find their audience. This has some fairly mediocre graphics that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. This is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in the hopes of raking in some cash. Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at less than 100 concurrent players, and now there's basically nobody playing it. Even though it's free. This is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off. If you want advertising, there's plenty of it free on Youtube. Why go through the effort of downloading an advertisement on Steam? [quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Response![/url][/quote]The developer has weighed in to inform everyone they didn't read the [url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Usage Rules[/url] for Steam "partners", or they deliberately ignored the part where Valve says: [quote]Though it may be tempting, not every review needs to be responded to. A developer response will frequently draw more attention than the original statement, potentially turning a small issue into a much larger community discussion. It's also not a good idea to use this feature to refute customer opinions. Your direct attention can be seen as validation or a defensive attempt to silence your customers.[/quote] The developer obviously can't read, because nowhere in my review did I mention how long people play the game for. The developer then throws up some playtime data that shows very, very low player engagement, where gamers will play successful games for literally hundreds of hours, the developer apparently is boasting that they struggle to get people to play this for more than a few hours, which of course makes sense for the reasons I supply in my review. Where the developer seems to have gotten confused, and if they had better reading comprehension, they might have avoided it, is where I point out the SteamDB player counts. Because this is "free" I tend to provide a high level view to avoid coming down too harshly, but now that the developer of this advertisement draws our attention, I'll reveal more precise data. The peak player count, which only happened once, was just 42 gamers. While that seems high, that only happened on the initial launch and only for a few minutes, gamers quickly turned it off and deleted the game. Now, and for the past few months, the only activity in this game has been 1-2 players every other day, and only for short periods of time. Facts don't lie, gamers in general were repulsed by this low quality advertisement, and that's understandable. Most of the rest of the developer response is totally unrelated to the facts of my review and does not address the relative failure of this Early Access advertisement, or the reasons behind their failure. I guess they just like the sound of their keyboard or something. Nothing in the developers pointless breach of Valve guidelines changes any of the objective facts of my review. My review stands unaltered. I cannot recommend this game to anyone.

可爱猫猫建造游戏， 感觉完成度已经相当高了，可以期待一波本体了 这作免费的是demo一样的序章，但是体量也不少 游戏本质就是六边形板块拼接建造，并没有太多新玩法 虽然确实是给了建筑目标，但是挺宽松的，应该主打一个可爱休闲没什么高难的策略 这么看来只要那一点点剧情做的差不多就很稳了 不过整个系统UI和美术真的很可爱，CRT+猫猫CG棒棒

love this
