Your cats fight while you work.
A tiny idle RPG that docks above your Windows taskbar. A party of cats battles endless waves in a strip at the bottom of your screen — levelling, looting and hauling back chests whether you're watching or not.
PC via Steam. In development — release date to be announced.
The idea
Not a window you alt-tab to. Nekosekai is a transparent, always-on-top strip that sits above the taskbar and stays out of your way — clicks pass straight through it to whatever is behind, and it never steals focus from what you're doing.

What it is
A transparent strip docked above the taskbar. Click-through while idle, never takes focus — it sits beside your work instead of on top of it.
Waves keep coming while you work, and while the game is closed. Come back to stacked loot chests and offline earnings waiting to be claimed.
Open the panels and there's real depth: rarities and affixes, sockets, item synthesis, crafting, a rune tree, and skills that fire on their own.
Front, middle and back slots change how a cat fights — melee cats step out to meet the enemy and soak the hits while ranged cats hold the line.
The party
You start with one cat and earn the rest. Every class holds a different line — and the sprites below are the real ones, running at the speed they run in game.
Sword and shield. Steps out to meet whatever arrives and takes the hits so the back line doesn't.
Axe first, questions never. Trades armour for raw damage and a self-buff that stacks up mid-fight.
Holds the line and shoots over it. The longest reach in the party, and the crit to go with it.
A late unlock. Squishy burst caster that turns a bad wave around, then hides behind the front line again.
Fire, ice and lightning across the whole wave.
Keeps the party standing. Heals on a timer, no input needed.
A hidden class. Drains what it kills.
Screenshots
Click the anchor and the strip unfolds into the full game: hero sheet, stash, synthesis, the rune tree and the map.

Nekosekai is coming to Steam for PC. Wishlisting is the single most useful thing you can do for a small game — it's how Steam decides to show it to anyone else.
