Istg i didn't expect this game to make me cry. It looks like just another creepy horror game and is, granted a creepy horror game but the overall story and theme make it a REALLY good metaphor for an abusive relationship. Near the end where it's looking at you after you've defeated it and says "i love you" only to switch up immediately after you tell it that you don't believe it hit hard. 10/10 would recommend this game
Great game! I loved the art style and story! Turning my love for cats against me was an evil thing to do xD I would've loved seeing more than one "true" or "good" ending with the adorable kitty, but I love stories that play with your heartstrings... It makes them more memorable. Great work, I hope you'll release another great story like this one!
This game is cool.... (just finished it 3 minutes ago, i'm so emotionally drained, but it is really cool! it's just much more dark then i thought, hahaha--)
This game... oogh... this game was amazing. i was NOT expecting this from a free game i found randomly on itch. it had a lot of hard work into it, and some times i actually felt scared/fearful of the "cat". probably the ending that got my hairs to go up the most would probably be the mystery food ending, ooogh... okay, but back on track, i just finished the game, and my mind is blown. i almost cried when getting my final ending. this is soooo much more than just a silly little horror game with a cat. i thought the mc was very cool too, i was very suprised when i would get little tidbits of lore from getting certain amounts of endings (in a good way!). its actually kinda connects to me too, because i also am friends with a little stray black cat who ALSO has big yellow eyes (but i guess, that cat isn't an all consuming evil creature). theres plenty more i could say about this game, but im not really that good at ranting haha- really, i got more than i asked for from this game, in a good way. 8.5/10. really, really good. (this sounds so weird, im really just some random guy online who really liked a certain game.)
Overall the gameplay mechanics and style are wonderful. It ran perfect and I loved all the choices you were able to make in it. Lots of work went into this game, very impressive. I cant wait to see what else the dev makes.
I love this game so much like omg i would very much let a silly monster that looks like a kitty cat do all that. love the cotton-head ending it's oddly sweet ^^
sorry for spelling) Ok so i made a fanfiction, so basically in this fanfiction the cat is not evil and is corrupted and controlled by another pet, A P U P P Y ive prepared ending dialouge as well this will start at the end of do not take this cat home without further ado lets start. Cat <please.. ill be good!> ( do not take this cat home?) (Take this cat home) you<TAKES THE CAT HOME> Cat<... Thank you for your love i have been freed.. i will be able to give you information about the corruption you can now only talk to me by a RITUAL tho i love you...> you<!!!???? what!> (you ponder over the black cat seems like the corruption(BLACK STRIPES) are coming out of the cat (apperantly its name is shadow).) i got this idea because pixieliminal stated the cat TRULY loves us so im thinking the cat is magical and im thinking someones possessing them CONTROLLING him, btw I can't draw but I made a comic-style drawing of this.

I absolutely adore this game to pieces!! Every route was fun to read through and although tbh 40 endings are quite a lot, I'm very happy to see how well it was wrapped up in the true ending. It was very subtle but the tiny snippets of the MC's life, personality, and the way they think I LOVEDD every part of it ESP because when they get too relatable and with the way it was portrayed I really liked,, this game is one of those that I would give anything to play again for the first time thank you for such a wonderful game <33
ok this game is 100% 50 stars i cannot stand how good this game is i thought this would be your average wholesome game but WOW THIS GAME IS GOOD but i would 478238947932492383% take this cat home also Pixieliminalm the owner of dnttch {do not take this cat home} said that the cat/it loves us just dosent know how to show it [sorry for my spelling] also i like to think its being controlled its corrupted, that the black cat (apperantly named shadow) inside is a good loving warm soul of a kitty-cat!

That's a cute idea! Thanks for your kind comments and for trying out the game. There's no official/canon name for the cat, but Shadow is a cool choice that makes IT sound mysterious!
I absolutely loved this game. Played it for stream and we had so much fun making all sorts of different decisions and watching the story unfold. This game was so much more than I expected and I loved it. I've even suggested it to friends to play as well.

This game is so cool, finished it minute ago

You know, making a game where the monster is a small, adorable kitten this genuinely unnerving is a hell of a feat. Good job!
