Description


Mineko’s Night Market is a game that celebrates Japanese culture while introducing a heartwarming story about friendship, tradition, and many, many cats.

Play as Mineko, a curious girl who has just arrived at her new home on a struggling Japanese-inspired island at the base of Mount Fugu. The superstitious locals on the island worship the Sun Cat, Nikko. What was always thought to be a long-told myth has the town puzzled, as sightings of Nikko have begun to surface among the residents of the island in recent days.

Discover the secrets behind the town and restore the struggling village to its former glory. All the while, manage your daily activities, complete various jobs, venture on whimsical quests, and craft peculiar items in preparation for the weekly Night Market!

Key Features

  • Play and compete in a variety of Night Market games like themed parades, cat racing, and stage performances
  • Solve puzzles, evade nosy Agents, and sneak into locked areas with various disguises
  • Craft peculiar items with the resources you find around the world through a variety of work-bench mini-games
  • Befriend and barter with dozens of townsfolk at the weekly Night Market to sell almost anything you make and find
  • Hours of exploration and four seasons to experience across the vast island of Mt. Fugu

Beautiful, frustrating game. The frequent bug crashes (and inability to save outside of ending the in-game day), the fact that some villagers just disappear for weeks at a time (not plot related), the grinding for

Mineko's Night Market Is a cute little game about resource gathering, crafting and building up a little town. Something mildly resembling animal crossing. It's neat, but my biggest problem is that there is no way to

The controls are not great. It's not as buggy as other users reported, but it's not super fun either. Having to stock up to make money on Saturday only is a frustrating game loop. I felt like I was spinning my wheels,

The MAIN story can be accomplished in less than 1 calendar year of the game, if that's all you're going for then you could finish it in under 20 hours easily. If you like to complete all achievements it will take you
