If you like anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics then you're in luck. Nekojishi: Lin & Partners looks certain to be funded on Kickstarter soon, so it looks like you won't have to wait too long to play with furries on the go on your Nintendo Switch.
The team behind the Kickstarter is Studio Klondike, a small and passionate indie team from Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, and all around the world who want to share their experiences and unique perspectives through their works. They’ve been making games since 2016, and since the release of their visual novel Nekojishi in 2017, they've found a community of fans who connect with their stories.
In Nekojishi: Lin & Partners, the player will take the reins at Lin & Partners Architects LLP, an architecture firm specialising in the restoration of haunted locations, and must solve the problems of the beast-man spirits dwelling within them. As Lin & Partners grows, a larger company looms near; Liao and the others must uncover their motives and ideals for tradition in modern society.
Here's a bit more about the game from the press blurb:
- Explore Taiwan and uncover the secrets of the spiritual world in a cute, narrative focused adventure-RPG.
- Interact with characters to learn more about their world and find info along the way.
- Face off against spirits in debates using collected info to help bring them to your side.
- Delve into a game deep with world history and references to religion and traditions based in Taiwan.
Explore a wide game world, talk to characters, and help them out in quests— solving puzzles and learning more about local history and traditions. When things come to a head, you'll need to prove the truth and face-off against spirits in real-time RPG debate battles. Make smart use of the information you've acquired to face every rebuttal of your opponents!

Oh... okay then. Not sure what to say to that. I'm getting Phoenix Write vibes off this, well, a furry one I guess.
If the story is good I wouldn't mind picking it up.
I seem to recall there also being a free game that had these characters that was uhh... not quite family friendly.
it looks like a lot of fun. I love folklore based stories.
Im sure theres a niche market for this...it probably isnt me. If youre going to sell me on furries youd better bring tight, innovative gameplay...not sure I see that here.
@Kalmaro - Apparently this is a sequel to a husbando VN from the skim research I just did about it.
So guessing they're expanding a little into more interactivity.
ugh, just noticed it's another crowdfund story
@Paraka Yeah I already edited that into my comment. I didn't want to bring it up but that's part of the reason I'm seeing this article and going "Well...huh, not sure if I'm interested in this or not".
If I could get a refund on Mighty No. 9, I would totally use it to back this game instead (gets flashbacks to the pizza explosions).
While the combat looks a bit uninteresting judging by what I saw, I like the style! I wasn't expecting them to go into this direction, but it's a welcoming direction nonetheless.
Hope they also port the first game onto the Switch as well, the Steam version. Visual Novels are usually at home for the system in my opinion!
@PBandSmelly It's not quite that simple but I don't feel like delving into that here.
Looks like Thundercats!
@Kalmaro - Hey, there is a market for anything. If they want that 12k people worldwide, there isn't anyone really competing.
@Kalmaro
I guess this aint the right website to talk about this stuff
@Paraka Well... depends what kinda interactivity you mean 😖
@PBandSmelly Yeah I'm going to stop while I'm ahead, haha.
@Paraka I'm all for free market and letting the people decide. I'm just surprised some games even have a market.
@nessisonett - according to what I see, it's just Feline Ace Attorney. But seeing the original, there may be some... stuff going on passes where the ESRB goes.
Looks interesting but I need to see more about the combat.
@Kalmaro Personally, I find the first game on Steam to be a decent visual novel, but I do see where you're coming from.
I myself am surprised this is happening. But it has my attention on what they'll do, what kind of gameplay and story it will have.
The title of this game is the story of my life, I myself am actually furry, but not a furry get it? lmao
Hopefully this is a scam run by the Chinese Government and everyone who donates to this will be rounded up in the night.
@SteelSunglass I never said it was good or bad, just that I didn't know an big enough market existed to keep it going.
@Kalmaro Oh! My bad for misreading then.
(Saw the anthro animals design)
Oooh...!!! 😮😮😮
I knew who drew those anthro animals. 😃
They looks so.... Adorable in Chibi form and their 2D pictures looks so Handsome. 😍😘
I didn't expect if those artwork will lead to a Nintendo Switch eshop game.
Edit: I was so surprised for 24 users before me have never knew about those anthro animals design.
@SteelSunglass No offense taken, I'm kinda hoping this game is good since I do like VNs
I think this is the first officially furry game on switch...
Being a furry I'll probably unironically buy this. I can't wait to get a lot of hate for this
Ha. The game character says he has "no experience in architecture". How does that work?
@Euler He's a lot of things, except Hispanic.
Ugh. Furries. -shudders-
Hans holt den Flammenworfer...
If the game is at least fun to play, I can ignore the furry thing. I mean, I liked Star Fox Adventures, so as long as it is somewhat entertaining I'd play it.
But that's way waaaaaay down on my priority list.
Well this is definitely going to be a big hit with a particular crowd.
I'm glad that there's positive comments for this game here. My ignored list was looking a little small
Common make this Physical I like the gameplay and looks of it.
Not clicking on that video to avoid getting furry videos all over my YouTube recs. I know the related VNs have some stable amount of popularity, so at least I can be comfortable recommending this to one of the like... two furries I know.
@kenyowa You could just watch it in a private tab.
@Kalmaro Fair enough.
The fan art is going to be nightmare fuel.
I've got a friend who might like this one. But odds are he already knows about it.
So, wait, it's Morenatsu WITHOUT dating bulky fuzzy men?
Nani? Furrys return . . nani..
