Really nice game, honestly would not have done all the endings as quickly as I did without the ending guide. So many different choices and a lot of stuff to explore, heavily recommend if you like games with good twists. Only thing I did not like or not understand:
spoilers ahead
How did those other souls in the end execute a exe file? Is this an example of 4th wall breaking? The character definitely was not aware they were in the game which is what confused me, and there was no hint about the player controlling the character as the character saw the choices (like in the end chase scene) and chose them accordingly to get away, which leads me to believe that there was not meant to be any 4th wall breaks, but instead hinting that their world is like binary coded or something like the matrix without explicitly saying it. This part just confused me as I am not sure what the developers intended with this, it may've made more sense to just give the souls some powers or something and try not to hint at 4th wall breaks that don't really add anything but just make the ending more confusing... or maybe I just did not understand the point of them. The actual ending was nice, though.
An overall 8/10 for me, that part I mentioned above did make the game more confusing, but like I said before it may have just been me being stupid and not bad writing.
That was probably my least favorite element of the story too, so you're not alone there!
I had originally intended it to connect to the MC's original career, but I decided to keep the MC as a blank slate to focus on more on the story's themes. It's the one part of the game where I cringe a little when hear it (that, and the parts where I hear my own voice >w<). I realized that I should've left that part out and just let the souls help the MC without accidentally hinting at a 4th wall break, but by that point the game was out.
I decided to let it stay and be a lesson for myself for any future games I work on -- to more carefully consider whether or not what's written benefits the story.
Thank you for your honest comment! I'm glad you were still able to enjoy the actual ending!
When you download the game, you'll need to right-click the zip file, then choose 'Extract All'. The game application can be accessed in the newly extracted folder.
Genuinely one of the best horror VN's I've ever read. Loved the junji ito/lovecraftian vibes, and all the small details throughout that showed how much care and effort went into this. I also appreciated that the endings were easy to obtain, but very unique for each choice. Some VN's can feel like a chore trying to 100% them, but this one was just genuinely fun and engaging the whole way through.
Overall, this game is insanely well done. I cried at the end! :3
I'm not the biggest fan of playing a horror game because... well, I can be easily scared by anything. But I couldn't resist trying this game out because of how cute the style is. I was enjoying the game so far. Getting the endings and getting to know the cat more through each ending. But... something weird happened. I'm not sure what I did, but I could have swear I clicked on the "Load" option to reload to a save point.... But suddenly my screen went completely black and all I saw were eyes... That really got under my skin. Did anyone else have the same experience?
Hi, I'm Dawoud. I speak Arabic, but my English isn't the best. Unfortunately, your game doesn't have an Arabic translation. I have little experience with the game I used, "ren'py." I was able to actually modify some things in the language, but I backed down and wanted to get your permission first. If you don't mind, share with me one of your social media sites so I can provide you with more details
Hello! I have a link to my twitter on my profile page if you want to message me. I've had some people approach me about translations, but my motto is that I can't directly ask someone to do it for me because it wouldn't be fair if I couldn't provide payment. If someone still really wants to translate the game on their own though, I don't mind at all! I've considered using Google translate, but I'm not sure it would work as well.
Im at a loss for words rn... this might be one of the BEST GAMES ive ever played on itch.io and im not even kidding. I didnt read the desc fully so I thought it would take like 20 mins, it took me 3,5 hours but hey yk what? I loved EVERY second of it! Thank you sm for this game, ill recommend it to my friends!!
I really like where you feed the cat the mouse and the cat avenges you by slaughtering the mice that gets revenge on you. And where you just vent to the cat and the cat just listens.
This game is amazing, truly. the ending made me cry beyond belief. thank you for making this game. my eyes are currently still teary writing this. to anyone thinking about playing this game, please do, Its so heart felt and its such a fantastic stor
If you want to play again with a full reset, you'll have to delete ALL save/persistent data from TWO files -- one in the folder where you installed the game AND one in these platform-specific locations on your computer:
## Windows: %APPDATA%\RenPy\<config.save_directory -- Game save folder>
## Macintosh: $HOME/Library/RenPy/<config.save_directory -- Game save folder>
## Linux: $HOME/.renpy/<config.save_directory -- Game save folder>
Well, in both cases is a regular guy that does mundane things, (joins a literature club/adopt a cat) and then everything goes insane, including time loops with even more crazy shit happening.
played all endings in maybe 3 hours or so. fucking amazing game, maybe even my favorite now. it actually made me emotional. the whole game just felt like a metaphor for toxic, consuming love that you cant escape from. i also love the option to go back and "play with it" even after the game is over, it shows how sometimes you fall back even after you heal because you miss the sweet, twisted words they gave you at your lowest.
OFFICIALLY addicted to this game! It is cute, it is fun, it is disturbing and there are SO MANY outcomes making replayability a MUST. Do NOT sleep on this game!
Hey., sorry to disturb you but i need help. i'm not a gamer so a don´t no what to do. The game came in a zipped folder, how do I make it run? Thank you.
hello, you should unarchive this folder (right click > extract > choose folder where you want this game to be) and run exe file inside extracted folder ☺️ hope it was helpful (I'm not native speaker)
Just finished this, started about same time yesterday. Beautiful game, so much thought and detail given in every scenario. The ending almost made me cry. Recommended it to all of my friends and can't wait to see more. I kinda wish it was a bit longer cuz I am a speed reader, but other than that miniscule thing there's really nothing wrong with it.
I love this game, it's so good. I'd give it like a 9/10? It'd be a 10/10 if it was longer, but I'm a speed reader so that doesn't help lol. I also feel weirdly connected to the main character, just through the description we get of them and their life. Love it <3
This is one of the best games that I have played! I would love to see similar ones! My only critique is that I would love for a way to make all the minigames more difficult. Overall, a 10/10! Here's my playthrough on the game:
Wow, What a roller coaster of emotions. Absolutely amazing game with beautiful artstyle, cool story, mindblowing twist and so much muuuch more. I dont know what else to say. One of the best psychological horror games in the world!! <<<3

You're not being stupid at all!

Koriko finds cute cat. Koriko plays said cute cat with a silly little red string. Koriko proceeds to get their intestines ripped out…
I am dead.
Koriko loves game. 10/10 (´・ω・`)
Thank you so much for playing! (=ↀωↀ=)

Omg the same thing happened to me! That really freaked me out lol-😭
Don't worry, if that happens you're on the right track! 👁️ 👁️
this is an actual artistic masterpiece, fucking epic dude.
Thanks so much, I appreciate it!

Thank you for your reply, bro sorry, but I haven't read your email for a while. I only noticed your message now.
i just played through this in 1 sitting completely. i did not get bored at any time.
Thank you! I'm glad you had fun!

Thank you very much for trying out the game! I'm you enjoyed the story and gameplay. Using the player perspective for the plot was fun for me too!
i love this game. you die in the most creative ways. My favorites are Happy Birthday and Hide and Seek. 10/10
I really like where you feed the cat the mouse and the cat avenges you by slaughtering the mice that gets revenge on you. And where you just vent to the cat and the cat just listens.

Thank you so much for playing!
how to delete all progress?
If you want to play again with a full reset, you'll have to delete ALL save/persistent data from TWO files -- one in the folder where you installed the game AND one in these platform-specific locations on your computer:
## Windows: %APPDATA%\RenPy\<config.save_directory -- Game save folder>
## Macintosh: $HOME/Library/RenPy/<config.save_directory -- Game save folder>
## Linux: $HOME/.renpy/<config.save_directory -- Game save folder>
what's the file from the folder where you installed the game specifically
In my pc(Windows),I found it in
C:\Users\(account name)\AppData\Roaming\RenPy
And then you will find that.
Hope it can help you!(●ˇ∀ˇ●)
Is the main character (the one that finds the cat) the guy who joins the literature club? xD Expecting to have a little fun with the cute cat.
XD I can't even begin to imagine what that crossover would be like!
Well, in both cases is a regular guy that does mundane things, (joins a literature club/adopt a cat) and then everything goes insane, including time loops with even more crazy shit happening.
Ending 17, 21, 6
3 TERRIFYING Endings. Game starts at 2:55
played all endings in maybe 3 hours or so. fucking amazing game, maybe even my favorite now. it actually made me emotional. the whole game just felt like a metaphor for toxic, consuming love that you cant escape from. i also love the option to go back and "play with it" even after the game is over, it shows how sometimes you fall back even after you heal because you miss the sweet, twisted words they gave you at your lowest.

I'm happy you're still enjoying the game!
Of course! Really one of the most interesting games I’ve plaid. Hard to put it down. Part 3 will be on the way.

HELL YEAH I LOVE THIS
Thank you!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the game and its story!
This is one of the best games that I have played! I would love to see similar ones! My only critique is that I would love for a way to make all the minigames more difficult. Overall, a 10/10! Here's my playthrough on the game:
Thank you so much for playing! If I make other visual novels with minigames, I'm gonna have the option to make them more challenging, hehe >:)
非常寓意丰富的、代入感强的、交互有趣的，视觉小说。半夜4点通关的（乐）
一开始只是随便玩玩，觉得：“好！邪神猫猫！可爱！”但是慢慢通过主角的自述可以感觉到，这并非单纯的相遇，而是一种阴谋。
整个玩完我的第一反应是：PUA。一直以来，也可能是作为玩家的剥离视角，我会是同情猫猫，甚至觉得“对啊它不是陪的挺好的吗？”，但逐渐玩下去，是的，这不是正确的，朋友的陪伴，不是爱。是一种控制与折磨。即使猫猫可爱，自己孤独，猫猫会说一大堆“爱你”的话。但是不要把这种会折磨你的人带回家。你值得更好的，你可以有自己的人生，哪怕真的孤身一人，买只/救助真猫都比只寄托于一个烂人好。很多时候生活没有那么糟，豁出去了会发现地球online的自由度真的挺高的：）
Translated from Google: 感谢您的深思熟虑的评论！我希望结局能给玩家带来更多希望，我很高兴这个故事能引起你们的共鸣。非常感谢您玩我的游戏！
nah imma still take it home
XD
Your commentary was really funny! XD Thanks so much for playing to the end! I'm glad you had fun!
Wow, What a roller coaster of emotions. Absolutely amazing game with beautiful artstyle, cool story, mindblowing twist and so much muuuch more. I dont know what else to say. One of the best psychological horror games in the world!! <<<3
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
