■ A Message from Yukihito Morikawa, World Art Designer
Welcome to the whimsical world of the Meems!
They’re curious, a little clumsy, and sometimes even a bit selfish—but through trial, error, and the occasional squabble, they slowly grow wiser.
I hope you’ll come to love these adorable little creatures!
And while you’re at it, I hope you enjoy exploring their mysterious world, built upon the ruins of an ancient civilization!
—Yukihito Morikawa
