Nine Lives of Yoki [v0.6.7] [YJ Project]

June 6, 2025F95

Nine Lives of Yoki is a thrilling Furry 2D adventure RPG game animated in pixel art style with NSFW elements. You will be immersed in a world where every corner hides secrets and challenges.
Your character is Yoki, the possessor of nine lives, that sets out to explore the mysterious places of the Tail Valley.
Gameplay of NLY (Nine Lives of Yoki)
In each level, there will be scattered pink lily flowers in varying quantities. After collecting a minimum number of flowers, the player will need to find the altar (a fox statue) and make an offering; only then will the level be considered complete.
[Not included in the beta version]

The more flowers the player brings to the altar, the more “bonuses” they will receive, which are necessary for character progression, i.e., for Yoki.
