    I haven't logged onto steam for a very long time, and the first thing I saw was this game on the New and Trending Section and clicked on it:

    [​IMG]

    Nekojishi is a visual novel about feline beast-men, Taiwanese folklore, and the pressures and consequences that come with navigating the world of gods and spirits.

    And then I looked at the screenshots/trailer video and I thought:

    "Wait, this is furry AND it's homosexual romance."​

    And then I looked at the reviews/ratings (Very Positive [1,561]) and thought:

    "Why in the world is this rated so high?!?!!"​

    OwO

    Has anyone played this?

    I already found it odd and suspicious that NO female appears on that image.... When an image has more than 1 person on it, and no females.... FEAR!!!

    I know this game...
    The homo and furry aside, the cultural content about Taiwan is great

    Dunno, seems like some crazy stuff get really high ratings due sheer quality of the content, even if the premise seems like it will be full of haters or simply crazy.

    Ever heard of Hatoful Boyfriend? It's an Otome Game in which you date... Pigeons. It had a Very very high rating on Steam as well.

    I'm downloading it and playing it now. XD

    I know Hatoful Boyfriend but.... I mean... that one is clearly and obviously more trollish in content (at least, with a bizarre concept).

    Based on the reviews, this one is completely serious (yet still good!)

    Is it? I mean, I bought it on steam on a Summer/Winter sale, but I didn't start playing it yet, so I don't really know what are the good points of it...

    I think that both have bizarre concepts and were so well executed that they got the love of whoever downloaded it... At least it's what I think.

    Well, trollish maybe isn’t the best word to describe Hatoful Boyfriend... it’s more like... the developers consciously knew they were coming up with something ridiculous, and did their best with it.

    Nekojishi, which I started playing last night, is totally serious about itself. Like it’s legit in the furry/gay genre, and it’s still really really good! The experience was soooo well done in the first hour or so, and I’m really impressed by it!

    Like the quality is so good that you don’t need to be furry/gay to appreciate how good it is, but if you are furry/gay, it’s even better!
