About This Game

AbsoluteNeko is a co-op action game for up to four players set in a Japanese neighborhood. Slip past patrolling dogs and get the whole group to the meeting point before time runs out. You can also take pictures of your cats in photo mode.

Move like a cat

Run, jump and climb onto walls, parked cars and rooftops. Crawl under cars. Dogs can't spot you when you're up high or under a car.

Don't get caught

Dogs patrol the neighborhood. If one catches you, you'll be stuck as its playmate for a while, and your team can only be caught so many times.

Meow to save a friend

When a friend gets caught, meow nearby to draw the dog's attention so they can get away. Decide together who goes ahead and who goes back to help.

A new meeting point every round

The meeting point changes every round, and sometimes it's on a rooftop. Start apart, keep track of your friends and the clock, and regroup.

Photo mode

Take pictures of your cats. While they groom, scratch, roll over or nap, adjust the camera angle, distance and field of view to frame the shot. Choose landscape, portrait or square, with a white border or postcard frame. You can get all four cats in one shot, too.

Choose to start in the morning, at noon, in the evening or at night.
