Published by Shisui House (creators of games like Nyan Nyan Triad, Nyan Nyan Parasol, Full Metal Sister Marilu, etc.), This is one "game" in a series known as Nekomimi Memorial. The game's title may have been inspired from Konami's Tokimeki Memorial, but other than that, it doesn't have anything in common with it. NMV was published in 2003.

Nekomimi Memorial tells the viewer various short stories that deal with Shisui House's characters. Of course, with it being all Japanese, it probably means little to a westerner (though I'm sure you could Google Translate it to get meaning from them). However, Shisui House was kind enough to add a little something extra to make the CD more than just an image/short story CD. I currently have NMVI and V, but I will get the hard to acquire VII soon as well as IV and another item in the NM series. They seem to come with a mini-game to act as a diversion if you don't want to read all the short stories at once.

The mini-game on this disc is "Pom de Nyan: Version II", a simplified variation of "Riichi Mahjong" with the cute characters from Shisui House's games. In the game, the object is to manuever certain sets of tiles/cards based on your circumstances into your hand while discarding what you don't need. When you are one tile away from winning a hand or getting what you need to win, you can declare "Reach" in an attempt to win. There are only a few basic combinations which are presented with robust little CGs of the various characters when a hand is announced, but it is a fun and colorful little diversion that also features its own story (which mainly consists of Lococo being forced into playing a game of Jong against various characters and humiliating the loser by taking a photo of them in an embarrassing situation of non-pornographic or ecchi nature). As such, the game features less short stories than some other NM installments. PdN is a good game for grasping the rudimentary elements of computerized Reach Mahjong under Japanese rules but could've benefitted from a few options, such as changing values for the point system and adjusting difficulty.

The disc has 11 pages that each tell a different short story (six old, five new). Besides those, there is a character guide page and a "Shisui House Layout" page which shows Master Shisui's building, the various areas it possesses, and which characters reside within the different layers of the building. Anyway, this video goes through a few stages of PdN showing a few of the card combinations and zips through some of the short stories. Enjoy.
