Today, what we thought was an April Fools joke is actually REAL, in the works and coming to the west soon!
Neko Works (Developers for the game Nekopara) has officially announced that the otome visual novel Nekopara: Catboys Paradise is coming to the PC, and mobile (iOS, Android) platforms. The game will have English, Japanese, and Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) language support and will launch as a free title this coming summer!
Nekopara “Catboys Paradise” started as an April Fools’ Day joke back in 2019, but this year Neko Works has confirmed that the game, is indeed, under development and this time, for REAL. So I guess, the jokes on us? haha
STORY
“I want to continue my dear grandfather’s coffee shop,” you thought, but were at a loss as to how. That’s when a certain school suggested, “Why not take into this lovely shop some knowledgeable live-in trainees?” Imploringly, you accepted the offer, but the trainees that appeared before you were not human trainees, but four carnivorous cats?!
Granted, you have heard that humanoid cat clerks are not all that uncommon these days, though…Your story of running a coffee shop with four cats is about to begin!
VOICE ACTORS INCLUDE:
- Kaito Ishikawa
- Komada Wataru
- Yuuichirou Umehara
- Junya Enoki

This could be fun! I’m a bit worried that a game with this level of art and known seiyuus attached to the project is announced as free (when other Nekopara games have been commercial and you KNOW there is a demographic out there willing to pay for catboys), I hope it’s not literally 2 minutes long, but otherwise kudos to the devs for sticking with the idea and going all out. 🙂
I’d also be curious as to the writing, not gonna lie. Will the devs try and adapt to a new audience, and how? This makes me all the more interested, even if I feel pretty neutral about catboys myself, haha.
Thank you for your undaunting news coverage! And hey, as a cute catgirl yourself, are catboys your aesthetic? Maybe you could do an LP (provided you’ve ever been interested in and comfortable with doing this kind of content, of course), as you’d be uniquely qualified for the task! 😀

Tbh, I agree with you there. Nekopara games have always been commercial, so I was a bit skeptical when it was announced as “free”. I hope we get follow up news on this soon. Either way, I’m still ecstatic on the news and you bet I’m gonna do an LP when the project comes through! LMAO These beautiful catboys are just hard to pass up!! hhhh ❤ Thanks for this comment! ^^
