      Or girl. Or neither. The gender of the child protagonist is undetermined, like in Undertale. My first instinct was that they are female, though – the “voice” is high-pitched and the closest name my language has to “Niko”, as well as the word for “cat”, are feminine.

        Hey now, there are clearly no cats in Oneshot! Just pancake lovers that may or may not resemble a cat.

        Same. Like most depictions of cat people are Japanese cat girls. And because the name is obviously inspired by the Japanese word Neko that on occasion is mispronounced Niko. On top of that Niko has overly long sleeves which is considered feminine in Japan. I came to the conclusion that Niko is female because she’s Japan inspired and feminine at that.
