The villagers of Mount Fugu Island are a colorful bunch — and over the course of your adventures in Meowza Games’ upcoming Mineko’s Night Market, you’ll discover a mix of new friends, racing rivals, entrepreneurial associates, and eccentric acquaintances among them.
Let’s meet just a few of this eclectic crew (with illustrations by illustrious artist Liz Nugent)!
Mineko, our main girl!
When she’s not exploring her new home and getting into mischief with her new friend, Bobo, you’ll find her at her trusty craft bench creating all sorts of curious goodies for the weekly night market.
Dad, your dad!
While picking up and moving to a new place is never easy, Dad just wants to help Mineko adjust to her new home on Mt Fugu Island…which, unfortunately for Mineko, sometimes means a ton of cringy dad jokes! Oh, Dad.
Bobo, your newfound friend!
He’s Mount Fugu Island’s self-proclaimed resident expert on all things concerning the mysterious Sun Cat, Nikko. It’s almost impossible not to get wrapped up in one of Bobo’s schemes within minutes of meeting him. He’s very small and very LOUD. Good luck!
Bobo’s Mom, your new friend’s mom!
Yes, that’s her real name. It’s widely known that her full time job is running the Mount Fugu Island General Store, but some would say her second job is trying to keep Bobo out of trouble. No small feat!
Hank the Hunk, tool store operator!
You wanna learn about a tool? Ask Hank. You wanna buy a tool? Hank’s got ‘em. Who proclaimed him the town hunk? Probably also Hank. Don’t be too intimidated by his fame, though. Hank is one of the nicest folk you’ll ever meet!
Miyako, cat racer extraordinaire!
Naturally competitive and up to any challenge, Miyako seems to be ready for anything. She’s the current village champion of the weekly Night Market Cat Race Extravaganza, but most days you’ll find her trying to think of new ways to annoy Bobo!
Jun and Leiko, annoying agents!
This pesky pair has been sent to Mt Fugu Island to investigate…something. No one really knows what they’re doing here besides being a general pain in the neck! Good luck getting anything useful out of these two.
Nikko, the mysterious Sun Cat!
Is he real? Is he a myth? There’s just one way to find out (well, a few ways, technically)…Play Mineko’s Night Market today on PC and Nintendo Switch on September 26, and October 26 on PS4, PS5, and Xbox One!
