Neko Roll got damn sick of doing tea ceremonies for tourists in Kyoto and came to Kaso-Machi for a fresh start. While she visually presents as a traditional cutesy mascot, she wants to rebel against being type-cast and limited by her looks. There is more to her than being cute you know!
Neko Roll wants to do fun events and not be limited by the mascot industry in Kyoto. She also wants to save up enough money to buy a tea farm and Kaso-Machi has an abandoned farm that would be perfect.
Cats seem to be drawn to this town as it almost exists in a kind of spiritual limbo. Whenever something spooky is happening, you can bet there’ll be a cat nearby. Meow.
Developer notes:
Neko Roll is such a sweetheart. When we got the concept back there was a note attached to it, saying “she meows when you poke the sponge part” and we thought that was so cute. Sometimes mascots just need to be cute.
