The Chronicles of Nyanya
Developer hamstercube
A sweet jRPG-style game about cats, brutal massacres, cuteness, racism and social issues, friendship, sinister thoughts, hilarity and Nazi furniture. It’s an epic attempt to blow your mind with adult themes hidden behind bright cartoon graphics. From the Steam store page

42 of 42 · most liked firstIt is a rare occasion that I will spend this much on an RPGMaker game. To be honest, I only bought this game to entertain my child who thought it would be hilarious. That being said..........turns out it was worth every penny! The story is adorable, the mechanics of fights require some actual thought, and the easter eggs are magical. I'm on NewGame+ now.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Footage of the game and First Impressions can be found here: https://youtu.be/yUGQGO0D3Mg Chocked full of bland humour, lags frequently during basic animations, blurred art, and for some reason there's a .nwjs executable running for HOURS after the game ends, using up to 15-20% of your CPU. Normally I'd be fairly forgiving, but IF this running program is a bug, it shouldn't have slipped through quality control. If it's NOT a bug, then I'm far more concerned of why it's running on my PC and…

Liked the heroes and the plotted universe. Warning! The game crashes from time to time. Regular saving is very recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Note: I played the game in Polish and found no way to switch to English, so my translations of in-game names may be wrong. Despite this, given that most reviews for this game are written in Polish, I still wanted to provide one in English. The Chronicles of Nyanya is a game project led by Ilona Myszkowska, Polish webcomic artist, founder of Chata Wuja Freda (Uncle Fred’s House). It’s her first and so far only video game. I’m writing this intro not just for the sake of trivia, but because this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let me say one thing at the beginning... I immediately fall in love with the chronicles of nyanya. I don't know where to start... Normally I am not the person who writes reviews but this game is definitley worth it. Let me start with pros and cons. Pros : •It's filled with cats (wow! I bet you would never have guessed that!) •The battle system is a typical RPG battle system and works perfectly fine. •Filled with tons of funny puns. •Cutenesslevel is over 9000! •Story seems to be…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played a little bit today - having a really good time with Nyanya, great dialogues and character graphics, the overworld graphics a bit simplistic, but hey the combat is 'purrfect'. As a fan of jRPGs - recommend! ;)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all - I played this game for a longer time, but somehow it did not count the time. I can confirm the game is a huge popcultural reference/meme. But it also is playable pretty much and is great in overall. The music is the only week spot, but the devs plan to add a less generic and more awesome OST in the near future. If you like laughs, old school RPG's and/or cats, then you should try this out ASAP :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"The Chronicles of Nyanya" is what looks like an RPG Maker asset flip, but it's slapped together badly with node-webkit/NW.js instead, equally bad, but the "developer" had to do more work to come up with the same crap result. This lame JRPG is a furry friendly ripoff of the Chronicles of Narnia (copyright 1950, the C.S. Lewis Estate). Unfortunately there's enough of an attempt at humour here that the "developer" will likely evade a lawsuit under satire protection. This is otherwise…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's an all-to-basic RPGMaker game where its attempts at humor are horrid and mind-numbing. That humor seems to be the only unique thing it tried to create. When the only selling point is terrible it makes this game an easy skip.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I refunded this game not because it's horrible, but mostly because it's not my cup of tea. Anyway, here's my short though of this game, The good: + Lots of cats + Cute artstyle + Gameplay mechanics seems great + Decent amount of choice The bad: - The ugly: * Lots of text/reading, i doubt i can bear it for 8 - 20 hours (according to another review) * Blend of casual and serious topic feels awkward to me * The humor/comedy is mixed bag I doubt you'll like this game if you're not fan of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've changed my mind pretty quickly. Standard RPG Maker VM game, nothing new, story is boring, mechanics are default and even assets are most of the time default. Not worth its price. Thanks steam for refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay footage of the first 30 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3I48_Z28B0 The Chronicles of Nyanya is worth your time. It's very cute, the writing is funny, and the JRPG elements are competent. Only about 2 hours in and the charm of the game has me hooked. I want to see where this story goes and where the jokes land. The game is packed with a lot of dialogue and choices. They're touting ~20 hours of gameplay and 430 pages of script. That's a lot to get through and that's awesome.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy this game If You're not into RPG maker games. Consider buying it when it's on sale or when it would be your first. (Still recommend searching for better ones first) When compared to other rpg maker games, it's not much different. It's try to stand out by being cringy, meme and laughing from itself and similar productions (as well as anime and stuff). Pros: + You get to control party of up to 5 + There is more than 5 characters playable, even if temporary + Your choices might have…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are tired of AAA-games and you want something that is laconic and splendid at the same time, this game is the best option. Great stylization and incredible draw make its characters attractive, easy to memorize and extremely lovely. All cat-lovers literally MUST HAVE this game. Humour, plot with amazing story and a narration are at a decent level. No need to blindly tap on keyboard, so brace yourself for reading, get totally involved and have fun shrieking with laughter. For those who…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay Footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhK_i8Myl5E Adorable yet chaotic world of kitty cats with many pop culture references to keep you laughing throughout your playtime.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sadly I've had to spend a while afked while trying to play this game, but this really is a MUST HAVE for anyone that likes the maker games and . . .well cats obviously! Even though I've not made it very far in I adore it so so very much! They combat can be semi challenging, the dialogue/ facial expressions/ character names are hilarious. Very much looking forward to exploring every little pixel of this game! 10/10 /ᐠ。ퟑ。ᐟ\
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is hidden gem, humor is amazeing, Gameplay is whot you would expect from RPG maker. But story rly holds up. game is not that expncive and i rly recomend to give it a go.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really liked this game. Even the start on the first screens promise a real fresh and different RPG game. Also I loved the humour in this game and some characters were really adorable. :-) For me the game didn't crashed once and everything went pretty smooth. Definitely recommended when the game is on sale (otherwise the price is a bit too high)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Uratowałem dziką bułkę przed relatywizmem, 10/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Enough with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cats
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Koty!!! Humor!!! To chyba najzabawniejsza gra w jaką grałem. Wykonanie jak na grę w RPG Makerze - bardzo dobre! Muzyka, efekty dźwiękowe, a przede wszystkim grafika. Ilość obrazków postaci i to jak są zrobione - super. Gra wcale nie jest krótka - wiele godzin zajmuje przejście, a do tego w żadnym momencie się nie nudzi.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm gonna be honest. I thought for sure this game was boring. But hey, I got addicted to it. The story is so funny and the cats.. they are so cuuuute <3 My heart-- <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →LOVELY GAME....but..... I Never played a game quite like this where I constantly felt like I was about to get WHOOPED, in every battle. Seriously, it felt like I just FINESSED each battle, I felt good about winning, but I never felt comfortable with my combat ability...And there is no power leveling, so you kinda are just expected to deal with it. This stuff is actually kinda hard! I'm just saying! If you play the game, you'll probably see what I'm talking about.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Spend many hours in game and really love it! Good job!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →super cute game >_<
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed this game and I am having fun playing it. If you want you can watch my review: https://youtu.be/COO96kI7asM Support via the stream forums seems fast and gets resolved quickly. I do have problem crashing in game and hopefully they will be able to fix the issue shortly. I will send them an email to help Fat Dog Games discover what could be causing this. I would highly reccommend this game for adults, not for children! 4/5
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've played already more than 3 hours and amount of fun is ultra huge like Strangulator snek ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Graphic is cool, story is very good also, all Easter eggs are delicious. You don't need to be polish really to have fun. My recommendation is as always 2/10! Buy it - love it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A meowtastic game that got way too little attention. Seriously, an underrated gem! Imagine a situation in which worlds of Harry Potter, Lord of The Rings, Star Wars, Assassin's Creed, The Witcher, Naruto, Disney and many other pop cultures clashed into one. Then replace everything in the said fused world with cats! Now stop fantasizing and go play this game because it's exactly what you have just been imagining! Brace yourself for: KITTIES! Adorable rolls! (If anybody's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's just a simple positive review this game deserves. Keep scrolling. Ouh... And buy it already!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this gonna be goooood
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like Chronicles of Nyanya. On the face of it, it screams "first project" to me - it's a fairly basic looking RPG maker game with a little bit of custom flair in it, usually in the sprites and artwork rather than animations. I figured - hey, I like cats, I like RPG's - Let's give it a go, how bad can it be? Honestly? Shockingly bad. First problem - performance. Never, in all my years, would I have expected to say this about a RPG maker game, but oh man the performance is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I own this game since like release day. Never liked it. See that is now $20 USD for some reason, WHAT IN THE NAME OF LORD CHEESUS IS WRONG WITH YOU, Hamstercube? Can I resell my copy and buy an actual game?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Silly, tongue-in-cheek RPG Maker game with lots of cats and lots of references. Lots of branching choices and dialogue, but generally fully explorable in 2 (or maybe 3) playthroughs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game only plays in full screen. Not worth full price for it. Initial 15 minutes of gameplay had some humor to it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mal JRPG. Tiene cierto toque de humor, pero es que hay autenticas paredes de texto, que si fuera una buena historia, vale, pero es que la historia es ligera y satírica, y todo ese texto es para contar alguna broma que se puede decir con un cuarto de las palabras. El combate es demasiado simple, y a la vez las peleas son difíciles.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After 3 hours of gameplay, I wanted the dark and mysterious class, but the game forced me on the path of friendship??? I'm sorry, but that was a no from me. I had tried using dialogue options that followed my preferred path while still being logical but was greated by a message saying I couldn't choose the class I prefered because of my past dialogues... Apart from this, I was starting to enjoy this game. Sad that I am too mad to continue.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simplistic and boring, even for a RPG Maker game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Przed wyruszeniem w drużynę należy zebrać drogę.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fairly decent indie RPG with a lot of cliches, both played straight and flipped on their heads, and a fairly difficult battle system but still easy to exploit with more party members. It's also quite short while not entirely overstaying its welcome. I'd say I give it a 7/10, it's got its moments but there's better RPGs out there. At least worth giving a look if you come across it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its a very fun, cutesy game that has anime but with its own spin to it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very funny. could be considered offensive by some. was very worth the time and money. looking forward to a part 2.
