***Do NOT Take This Cat Home***

It's your day off, but the weather is really bringing you down.

Among other things. 

But... you're drawn to the distant sound of something calling out to you...

You follow it to a dark, lonely alley. And at the back of the alley, in a cardboard box...


...is a cat.

A very cute cat.

What will you do?

Will you selfishly ignore it and go enjoy your day off?

Will you befriend it only to abandon it anyway?

Or...

...Will you take it home with you? Surely you will, right?

Right. Who could say no to  that face~?

(1 edit)

I don't know if you're looking for Spanish translation, but if you do, I would love to do so! Loved the game and I'm studying translation so it would really help me to earn some experience alongside the training I do at university.

Couldn't find your email so contact me at gaitanignacio12@gmail.com if you're interested.

best wishes!!!

I'd love to provide the Arabic Translations for this game! how can I contact you about it??

facundosaravia1701@gmail.com

Have a good day,

Facundo Saravia.

hey if you are interested i could translate to bulgarian. Like 10 eur is enough for me (im a tennager btw so it wont happen that quickly bcz of school) might even do it free

I like that cat

The game has an interesting plot, and the possible endings made me curious about how the cat can surprise you and what effects he has on people with his spell. It's been fun exploring the game with its 40 endings. HERE ARE THREE ENDINGS I'VE ACHIEVED, and I'm playing to get all the others.

..'Meow'.. That's it.. That is the last thing you hear before the you see the shine of it's claw as it pierces your retina before it's, what can be described as a 'talon' is plunged deep into your skull.. Then all you can feel is the warmth of crimson run down your cheek as your panic takes over, but before you can act you see the demon feasting on the liquid that is now sprawled over the floor.. It's tongue and fur dripping with redness.. And then suddenly.. It looks at you..

One of the BEST games on my channel! The choices! The excitement and curiosity it drives! The art is simplistically beautiful and the gore is unexpected and yet, you can't look away! Absolutely awesome!

Hi! Make sure you extract the zip folder you downloaded before accessing the files. The game application will say "DoNOTTakeThisCatHome"

wow i wonder what could led to 40 endings

I'VE only finished 6 endings but help I'm traumatized nowwww

Hi, I really enjoyed your game! Would you be interested if I localized into spanish? It'll be for free, I just want to get into the bussiness and work in some projects for fun and experience.
Cheers!

Dear Developer,

I am writing to offer my assistance in localizing your game into the Russian language on a pro bono basis. I am a second-year translation student, majoring in "Translation and Interpreting Studies." For me, this would be invaluable practical experience and a crucial addition to my portfolio, as I aim to build a career in game localization.

The Russian-speaking gaming community is vast and highly engaged. Having Russian localization for your game can help you reach this significant audience and attract new players.

I would be truly grateful for the opportunity to contribute to your project.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely, Rhinestone Jackal!

I played this entire game in one day, that's how good it was. This game should be SOLD, it should NOT be free for how good it is. Sent you 10$ because this game is worth at LEAST that much. Great work!

this game is so traumatizing i love it

now make a DO take this cat home/j

AGREED
