Nananai Studio's 구해줄거냥? launches Aug 25 on iOS and Android

Key takeaways

  • Released August 25 on Google Play and Apple App Store
  • Developer Nananai Studio made Forest Island, which has 10M cumulative downloads
  • Players earn hearts from puzzles to decorate the village and expand themed areas
  • All downloaders receive a limited-edition 'Sprout' cat at launch

Nananai Studio released its new mobile game 구해줄거냥? on August 25, arriving on Google Play and the Apple App Store worldwide. The studio behind Forest Island — which has a global cumulative total of 10 million downloads — published the game as a cat-focused puzzle and village-building title that pairs arrow-based puzzles with collectible cats and editable town spaces.

Gameplay centers on untimed arrow puzzles: players scan arrow directions, tap the screen, and free cats trapped in vines. Puzzle difficulty scales from simple, single-path boards to multi-directional tangles, and a hint feature is available when progress stalls. There is no in-game timer, so puzzles are designed for leisurely play; completing a puzzle yields a heart reward that feeds into the town-growth loop.

Rescue rewards are also the collection mechanic. Each solved stage can unlock a new cat to add to your catalog, ranging from familiar types like cheese tabby and tuxedo to Russian Blue. Players can name rescued cats, outfit them with costumes and exclusive items, and watch them interact in the village — purring, rubbing heads, and chasing fluff balls — as part of the in-game cat encyclopedia.

Hearts earned from rescues serve as the currency for decorating a cozy cat village. Furnishings such as furniture, fountains, playgrounds and a fishing spot can be placed to liven the town, and growing the village attracts more cats. The village offers themed expansion areas including a cherry-blossom garden, a beach, a farm and a campsite, letting players customize multiple spaces rather than a single hub.

Nananai Studio founder Park Jae-hwan described 구해줄거냥? as a "healing game" with an intuitive cycle: solve puzzles to rescue cats, and use rescued cats to grow the town. He added that the team combined production and live-ops know-how from Forest Island with artwork aimed at a global audience. To celebrate the launch, every player who downloads the game receives a limited-edition "Sprout" cat as a gift; further details and ongoing events are posted on the game's Google Play and App Store pages and the official Instagram.

Why it matters

Takeaway: 구해줄거냥? pairs untimed arrow puzzles with a heart-based village progression—rescue cats to earn hearts, spend hearts on furniture and themed areas, and collect new cats that can be named and dressed—plus a launch-time limited "Sprout" cat granted to all downloaders.
