What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We considered stopping development, but people on the show floor of Gamescom 2023 loved Mononeko so much that we decided to bring this game to our fans via Early Access and continue.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to complete Mononeko by next year, but player feedback may prompt us to make changes that could delay development.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We wish to increase the scope of the combat to include a wider range of enemies who attack in new ways, more sandbox elements that add variety to the combat and additional boss fights. More dialogue and some cutscenes to tell the story better. The user interface needs an overhaul and the upgrades players can purchase with gold coins need a lot more love from us and also the minigame of scouting for enemies on the map needs more polish. We would also like to provide more settings, such as button rebinding, different screen resolutions and vsync toggle. There's still a lot we can do improve the gameplay.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You can play the tutorial and first two story chapters, including two awesome boss fights.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“As of the moment we have no plans to increase the price when we leave early access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Please join our Discord server and tell us all the brutal feedback you have. We listen.”

About This Game




In Mononeko, players seamlessly weave button presses into the game’s musical beat, creating an immersive dance of attack and movement. With rhythmic precision, players hone their aim to vanquish foes and chain together an endless sequence of commands, but a single misstep can unravel your progress.


Along your journey, you’ll revive fallen kittens to bolster your ranks and gain boons for increased firepower. Time is of the essence as you race to catch the humans before they elude your grasp!


Every day, the streets witness a growing number of abandoned cats. Embark on a heartfelt odyssey and embody the spirits of these cats to confront humans with the consequences of their neglect, exposing a grim mystery behind the feline abandonment and mistreatment, and ignite a spark of change in your pursuit of retribution.
