What is Mineko's Night Market?
A single-player life sim and adventure set on a Japanese-inspired island, where Mineko helps a struggling village as sightings of a mythical cat stir local interest. Explore, gather materials, craft items through minigames, complete requests for townspeople, and sell goods at the weekly Night Market. Puzzles and stealth sections lead into restricted areas, and the island changes with the seasons.
