How to Raise a Happy NEET is a 2D animated point-and-click romance from RuririSoft, built with RPG Maker. You play a male protagonist whose quiet Saturday night changes when a relative leaves his distant cousin Shizuku in his care after her parents abandon her. The story follows daily life with Shizuku, helping her recover from trauma, learning her past, and pursuing an adult relationship.
Development continues with version v2.1.1 and DLC v1.5, released September 7, 2025. The latest changelog lists bug fixes, including a corrected evening beach background during the final beach event, which had blocked evening access. Earlier updates also repaired minor issues and adjusted some images. The game runs on Windows and Android, is in English, and is uncensored, with a fan uncensor available.
