This title is a spin-off of the adult visual novel series "Nekopara." Unlike the original, "Sekai Connect" is a sandbox-style café management game where the core gameplay involves collecting catgirls through a gacha system. The game features an entirely new story written by Sayori, the original creator of the series. "Sekai Connect" focuses more on exploring deeper lore within the series' worldview, elements that long-time fans have previously only been able to glimpse in scattered fragments.
"Nekopara Sekai Connect" will launch on PC (Steam) on September 28, 2026. The game is currently available on iOS and Android. It supports English and Japanese, with Simplified Chinese language support planned for the future. There are no regional restrictions.
