Nekomew’s Potty Trouble is a one player rhythmic videogame.You must help Nekomew get to the toilet before he pisses on himself! As you progress in the game the difficulty will rise and new monsters will appear trying to stop him.♫ Follow the music and you will make it! ♫
The gameplay revolves around precisely timing inputs to the beat of the music in order to guide the protagonist, a cat named Nekomew, to the bathroom before he has an accident. Players must close their eyes, cover their ears, or use a doll's light at specific moments to avoid obstacles and "scary monsters" that attempt to block Nekomew's path.
In addition to the rhythm-based challenges, the gameplay also incorporates unsettling horror elements. Sudden "jumpscares" punctuate the levels, creating a tense and uneasy atmosphere despite the game's cute, cartoon-like visuals. Navigating these horror encounters while keeping in time with the music proves to be a uniquely compelling experience.
The gameplay loop centers around replaying levels to improve one's score and performance. Mastering the rhythmic mechanics is essential, as better timing leads to higher scores and the ability to progress to the additional, more difficult "extra" levels. This replayability and focus on progression motivates players to hone their skills over multiple attempts.
