The game is planned to be released in mid-late 2021 for PC, macOS, and Nintendo Switch. The only thing holding us back is the resources required to create everything needed for the project and the time required to make it. From asset creation pipelines, to scene building, game design, story outlines, and the beginnings of implementation and scripting.

Throughout the planning of this game we’ve grown immensely both as a team and in our capabilities. It’s been in planning since 2017, gone though iteration after iteration, and now we’re finally ready to share our vision with you all. Nekojishi: Lin & Partners is the biggest project we’ve ever worked on by far. Studio Klondike is an indie team of writers, programmers, and artists who have aimed to create heartfelt narrative and gaming experiences ever since we came together to crowdfund and make our first video game Nekojishi in 2016 which we released back in 2017! In September, we released our second game, the short story Beek – Familiar Spirit on iOS, Android, and itch.io!

(Later we also released a different Nekojishi comic called The Divine Battles which is currently being published by Pawprint Press.) Originally the plan was to make Nekojishi: Lin & Partners a comic series, however in 2018 we decided to adapt this into a video game sequel to Nekojishi in response to the demand from our community. As such, Liao will be called in to help on sites in need of spiritual improvement, such as suspected haunted properties where the root of their issues will really be tied to yaoguai and other spirits interfering with the human world. The context to this adventure would be that Liao is opening up an architecture firm that specialises in design surrounding the principles of Feng Shui- the Chinese geomancy based around the existence of spirits in places.

From there came the idea of them meeting other spirits, and resolving the conflicts between humans and spirits just like Liao had done with the three main characters of the original Nekojishi. In 2017 there was a discussion about what Liao and the cats would do after the story of Nekojishi. The story of Lin & Partners was first drafted even before the release of the original Nekojishi.
