家有大貓 - Nekojishi Logo

Nekojishi (家有大貓; also called 家有大盤 in some furry communities in Taiwan) is a furry dating simulator visual novel developed by Team Nekojishi and Studio Klondike and published by Orange Juice Dog.

The plot revolves around a young man who suddenly finds that he can see spirits. Liao, a college student, must choose between three cat spirits and decide who to help. This decision is made harder by the fact that, whoever he decides to help is one he must stay with for life.

The game has met with much positive reception. Additional paid downloadable content, comprising the Nekojishi Expansion Pack - A Sunny Day and the Nekojishi Voice Pack - Chinese, was released on Steam on April 20, 2018. Its direct sequel, Nekojishi: Lin & Partners, is currently under development.

Plot[]

A romance torn between school life and mysterious spirits!

Born into a religious family, Lin Tian-Liao left his hometown and moved to Taipei to study and follow his dreams, trying to escape the pressures of returning to his family’s temple in the process. His ordinary college life seemed to be going well until suddenly one day his third eye was opened. Liao, now able to see the various spirits and gods in the world, has to deal with his new found powers, his school life, and three particular cats who all want to have a say in his life and his future.

Nekojishi is a visual novel about the pressures and consequences of deciding your future in a world of gods and spirits, the position that religion and folklore take in modern society, and three feline beast-men that Liao can’t seem to get out of his room or out of his head!

Note: Nekojishi features same-sex romances and cute cat dudes. [1]

Standard Edition[]

The Standard Edition of Nekojishi is available on Steam as free-to-play and free to download on the itch.io, with optional contributions to support the developers. It can be played on Microsoft Windows, Linux and MacOS. In place of NSFW CGs from the Limited Edition, Standard Edition has expanded dialog and alterations to the plot, mainly towards the true endings. Standard Edition was released on Steam on November 12, 2017.

Standard Edition downloaded on Steam is compatible with the Nekojishi Original Soundtrack DLC.[2]

The latest version of the Standard Edition is v1.06.

Limited Edition[]

The Limited Edition of Nekojishi is an age-restricted (18+) version of the base game with NSFW CGs and certain non-canon alterations to the plot, mainly towards the true endings. The Limited Edition was available for free download on the official website and on Nekojishi's itch.io page, as well as purchasable for TWD$299 as an option to support the developers. However, the aforesaid website is down and the Limited Edition has since been removed with intent. [3]

On each startup of the Limited Edition, the user will be prompted by an age-restriction authorization agreement.

The last version of the Limited Edition is v1.06.

Dispute[]

In March 2020, during the funding period of Nekojishi: Lin & Partners Kickstarter, controversies surrounding Nekojishi circulated on the discussion board of PTT Bulletin Board System, which is based in Taiwan; the production team had allegedly inexplicably laid off staff and reportedly failed to fully provide payment to artists. Plans to involve legal action were reported. On March 7, 2020, a statement was issued on the official website in which Studio Klondike addressed the issues of unpaid money, clarified on the purported lawsuit, apologized for revealing personal information as part of the initial response to the allegations and offered an explanation to one unaccounted-for stretch goal. [3]

Recently we have taken notice of several statements and rumors on social media across our audiences on Weibo, Facebook, and Twitter. We have taken the time to collect them, and with full transparency, offer the facts that form our understanding of the situation.

Four days later (March 11), a following statement was released on the official website detailing the project costs of the original FlyingV, the results of an audit of payments during the production of Nekojishi, an issue concerning a share with the former company Orange Juice Dog as well as some follow-up pieces of news on the legal proceedings. [4]

Studio Klondike, apologises for any inconvenience caused by Orange Juice Dog Shanghai & Taipei for their poor management processes and is currently doing their best to resolve the mishandling of matters made by these companies as well as making changes to put in place new processes.


We continue to make every effort to resolve all issues brought to our attention. From the results of current investigations, we have never left any artist working on our games unpaid. Other staff members who had payment concerns have either been paid or have their payments awaiting collection.

From all of us at Studio Klondike who are hard at work on our next games, we hope you will read our update below. We endeavour to keep you up to date and dearly wish for your trust.
