The Steam page describes the game:

The first game based on the popular TV anime "Natsume's Book of Friends" is here! Ever since I was little, I've seen strange things from time to time. Things that others don't seem to be able to see - they're most likely what you'd call "Yokai." The popular TV anime "Natsume's Book of Friends," which tells the story of protagonist Takashi Natsume, Nyanko-sensei, and the Yokai and people they encounter, is now getting its first game adaptation!

Players will take control of Natsume as he explores the town during summer vacation and interacts with characters from the series in a visual novel format.

A special edition featuring a collector's box, a postcard book, a Nyanko-sensei pin badge set, an A3 acrylic poster, a pencil case, a bromide card, and a promotional card for the Weiss Schwarz trading card game is also available for pre-order.

The game will be available with support for Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese, with Japanese audio.

The seventh season premiered on TV Tokyo and its affiliated stations on October 7, and on AT-X on October 8. In Japan, the series streams on Netflix, d Anime Store, and U-NEXT. Crunchyroll streams the anime in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS, and India.

The anime is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year.

Yuki Midorikawa's manga Natsume's Book of Friends (Natsume Yūjin-Chō) first debuted in Hakusensha's LaLa DX magazine in June 2003, but has been serialized in LaLa since 2007. Viz Media releases the ongoing series in English.
