The Dreams of Dawn Cat

A summer that began with a cat

Hana has moved to an unfamiliar neighborhood during summer vacation. A chance encounter with a stray cat gives her a reason to pick up her camera and wander through the streets. Spend the summer discovering and recording the cats she meets.

Explore the neighborhood

Choose a destination on the map and search the streets and nearby places for cats. The cats you can meet change with the time of day and the weather, so a familiar spot may be worth visiting again.

Take photos and fill your collection

Photograph a cat to add its picture and information to your collection. Some cats need the right item or toy before they will let you get close enough for a photo. Finding and recording each new cat is at the heart of the game.

Plan your day and meet your neighbors

Exploring takes time and stamina, and you can take only a limited number of photos each day. Decide where to go, rest in Hana's room, and prepare for another day. Conversations and events around the neighborhood become part of her story as she settles into her new home.
