This game is a 3D action puzzle where players control two characters: “Neffy,” a cat-eared shrine maiden, and “Novaris,” the legendary warrior summoned by her. The story unfolds in a mystical labyrinth sealed with the power of the “Goddess of the Blue Moon.” To save a world shattered by rebellion from the “Goddess of the Red Moon,” Neffy and Novaris join forces on their journey through the maze.

Originally developed for VR, this title has been optimized for consoles, making it more accessible to a wider audience. The Nintendo Switch version was released earlier on October 9.

Neffy is surely waiting for you, curled up like a cat.
