Japanese visual novel developer Entergram announced on August 6 that the Steam release of Okayunyumu! will be postponed. The game was originally scheduled to launch on the platform on August 7, following its PS4 and Switch releases earlier this year.
Okayunyumu! is a romance visual novel starring Hololive VTuber Nekomata Okayu. The game follows a “heartwarming” slice-of-life story in which you start living together with stray cat-girl Okayu after she sneaks into your house one day. It’s rated CERO C (ages 15+ and up), with Steam store page warnings for “Some Nudity or Sexual Content, General Mature Content.”
The Japanese version of Okayunyumu! released on PlayStation, Switch and PC (physical) in February 2025, with the English and Japanese Steam versions scheduled for August 7. However, Entergram has postponed the release date, citing “various circumstances” as the reason. Notably, the Switch edition’s physical release, which is also set for August 7, has not been delayed.
Although Entergram didn’t provide details, possible reasons could include unresolved bugs, or pending approval from Steam. Recently, payment processors and other third parties have indirectly influenced content restrictions on Steam, leading some Japanese fans to speculate that this may be a factor. Not long ago, the visual novel Nekopara After had its Steam release delayed by over 40 days due to a dragged-out screening process by Valve. Since Entergram is calling this a postponement rather than a cancellation, it appears they still intend to release Okayunyamu! once the issues are resolved.
Entergram says it will announce a new launch date for Okayunyamu!’s Steam version as soon as it’s decided. The PS4, Nintendo Switch, and packaged PC editions remain available (Japanese only).
