Nekotype pairs your typing with a cute animated companion that mirrors your keystrokes in real-time, turning mundane text entry into a satisfying, interactive experience. The game's charming aesthetics and responsive keyboard feedback create a relaxing workspace companion that many players find motivating, though current content is limited and a character customizer is planned for future updates.

TL;DR: Worth the $4 without a doubt, but as of right now there is a lack of content and no character / decoration creator.


Great game with some issues, but at $4 it's well worth it.

Despite the tutorials and tips, the UI is frustratingly difficult to navigate at times. There isn't a lot of content yet, although more is planned such as steam workshop support alongside a character creator. While the price is well worth it, but keep in mind that there isn't a whole lot here just yet (feels like maybe it should be Early Access?).

Presently, you get 7 characters to choose from: A tabby cat, 3 different anime cat-girls (each with varying personalities, a shiba inu (dog), a trio of kittens who count as one character (they don't have animations for keypresses however), and a robot cat-person-thing. You unlock all of these characters from the start, at least I did for some reason, and each character has different idle animations when not typing for a short while.

There are quite a few decorations, although at the start you only have access to a few. After leveling up to certain milestones you unlock more. Unfortunately, creating your own decorations doesn't seem to be in the game yet despite the games description claiming you can do this now. It isn't a huge issue as I'm sure it'll be added soon and there are already a little over 200 decorations to choose from (unless I counted wrong) with more planned in the future.

There are 3 types of keyboards to choose from: Square keys, circular keys, or cat themed keyboard. The latter is especially unique as it has little cat ears on the keyboard itself, while the other two are different only in terms of the keys on the keyboard. The rest of the customization options here are overwhelming in the best way. It's absurd how much you can change about your character's keyboard, and I haven't seen customization like this anywhere else. Whoever designed the keyboard customizations deserves a raise, I'm still discovering new things to customize.

For $4 that's a huge amount of content, but with what the store page advertises it feels a bit shallow. I don't regret my purchase at all however, this has instantly become something I'll keep on my desktop alongside Ropuka's Idle Island (check that out if you enjoy big numbers and PS2 graphics). Even if you're only wanting to pick this up for the ability to create your own decorations and characters, you should get it now anyways. The developers put a lot of hard work into this and it really shows, $4 feels like a massive discount on it's own.

The cat is unbelievably cute, and the keyboard sounds are really satisfying to hear. I hope the developer adds more styles in the future because the idea has so much potential. It would also be great if the cat could show up while playing games in fullscreen. Overall, it’s a very charming and relaxing little app, and I’d love to see even more of it.

I installed Nekotype just to test it… and somehow my productivity is now controlled by a chibi cat girl. And I type faster just to see how fast the chibi cat girl can work. Cute, silly, and dangerously addictive. 10/10, would let this cat supervise my typing again :)))))

Different parts of the mouse can have their colors changed according to your preference.

Similar to the features above, you can change some basic textures of the mouse pad as well as the colors of its parts.Added the ability to create custom mouse pads in the game using the Nekotype_Manager.exe application.
