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. NMVI was published in 2004.

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 "Nekomimi Trap", a game that functions like the classic game, "Heiankyo Alien" . The rule of the game is simple; you set traps by building them piece by piece and dismantle the trap once a catgirl walks into it to catch them. There are four catgirls on the stage that you must catch that move at different speeds. The stages get more complex in their design and enemies are added later to make the game harder.

The disc has 12 pages that each tell a different short story. Besides those, there is a character guide page and a sort of "other" page. The latter page is a little interesting. Apparently, Shisui House was working on an action game concept that would feature a catgirl named Gamma. They had sprites made for her as well as animation cycles for some of her abilities. However, the project was frozen for an undefined period. While SH does still exist (they have a Pixiv page IIRC), it is unlikely that SH will go back into game development.

Anyway, this video goes through a few stages of NT and zips through random short stories.
