I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.
Omg what the sigma I played this as soon as I downloaded it because I knew that if I didn't I wouldn't play it at all BUT DAMN AM I GLAD I DID I'm extremely picky with games so I was so so so impressed with how much this captured my attention. oh and the way the visuals were crafted so well ahhhh!! anyway my favorite part was the portrayal of emotions and the shock I had experienced, especially during the part with the dogs massive ass eyes (lowkey froze for a lil while)and i was even petting it with my cursor and then THAT happened ofc I think the main factor of that shock was I didn't read a singular part of description because the cute cat on the cover had lured me in instantly & I just couldn't help myself. And not to say the game is lacking I NEVER WOULD but some parts were kind of like.. uh I dunno stereotypical?? not to say that affected the experience much it just kind of made me stop for a moment and think back on every other time I've seen that same picture used or the same ever so slightly cheesy line of dialogue used in a similar context (i only remember this happening 2 or 3 times though so). Of course though the good overweighs the bad by miles and most of the content is pretty original in my eyes at least. halfway through i thought id have trouble sleeping tonight but now i think ill just fall asleep appreciating how good this is, genuinely though I've never ever been so satisfied with a game.
ALSO personal ramble cuz i cant help myself . got oddly aggressive over the mouse getting hurt especially when its face showed fear, so much so that I accidentally bit through my lip and had to take a break to cool off. No I do not forgive myself for killing the mouse even if they got revenge. they shouldn't have to get revenge, they're perfect and should be protected. Named the cat Miku after Hatsune Miku because when the cat was behind me in the chair when I brought it home I used miku as a stand in as the cat so I could break the fourth wall. I also had no problem whatsoever seeing the character I'm supposed to act as and me as the player as the same person (except at the point where rats were involved) which i usually have trouble with. ANYWAY SORRY FOR WRITING SUCH A LONG TEXT TO ANYONE WHO MIGHT READ THIS.
hey so uuh I like this game a lot and I wanted to share it with my friends but they aren't very comfortable with english, so I thought I could make a french translation for the game ?! If someone knows if it's possible or how I can contact the developper I would be nice : D
i probably shouldve read the warning before downloading the game just because it showed me a cat but i was very pleasantly surprised by what i got myself into
shit's awesome man, i will be downloading a second time so i can make a donation cause damn you deserve it
its been MONTHS since i finished the game but god i CANNOT get it out of my head i actually made a itch io account just to comment about this game and I LOVE IT i wish it was more popular (i need more content of it) its literally the most underrated game ever LOOK AT THAT SILLY LITTLE CAT WHAT COULD IT DO WRONG?? (so many things) IT EVEN GAVE ME A MEDAL FOR COMPLETING THE GAME ON HARD MODE COME ON!! the way IT and mcs relationship was portrayed was also one of the things i loved it feels like the cat DOES love you in its own weird way but also enjoys playing with you and making you suffer IT needs you and this is also seen at the ending what i loved about that was how when IT spoke the sound effects were growling but then turned into little meows as you escaped/ as it lost power OH AND AND the way that it guides you throught the game and the choices you made WERE NOT EVEN YOUR OWN and how it manipulates your thoughts for you to be DISGUSTED and nauseous at the thought of throwing it out to a point you felt like puking like silly evil little thing i espically loved the dog park endings bc omg its so CLEARLY jealous and possessive the way IT warned you and just killed you (like usual) when you didnt turn back i was in between hating and loving IT the ENTIRE game cause like how dare you make the rats kill me AND THEN kill them for killing me?? but at the end i ended up loving IT i also wonder if it has a real name but i decided to name IT inky since its a black cat and can mold/change shapes like ink does depending on the container and how at the end IT kinda melted like ink good thing inky is a gender neutral name since we dont know its gender or if IT even has one lol. i could go on and on about this game for hours because IT has geniuely became one of my favourite characters ever and i NEED to know what IT is but my best guest rn is a dream demon or eldritch god i'd also guess that it lacks powers in the real world and tries to make you believe that it doesn't (if thats the case it succeeded because i don't even know anymore it problably has powers in the real world too but not some major stuff like in the dreams maybe a bit of telekinessis and mind control? i really wanna know what its capable of and how strong it is..) OH AND THE CINEMA HAT GUY THAT HELD IT WHEN WE GOT HIT BY A BUS IS IT JUST ANOTHER CLONE/CREATION OF IT OR MAYBE THEIR ITS OWNER?? and the line when we "killed it" "don't you know that cats have nine lives?" CHILLS. the same goes for the text "i'll always find uuuu OwO" i wish we could just take it home at the end and give it a redemption arc or something (even though thats problably not possible IT is abusive after all) and like IT can just feed off of the blood of ppl i don't like- at the end for a second i thought the cat was IT ngl AND AND the original ending where IT was gonna posses the kitten at the end i wish we got to see it (i heard about that from one of your replies bc i've been scrolling to get whatever content i can find..) but i can just imagine the horror on the mcs face if they saw the kittens eyes turn yellow.. i just wanna SQUEEZE it and give it all the pets cuddles and affection in the world (although it might bite off my fingers) for short I LOVE IT AND THIS GAME SO SO SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!! i even made stickers to put on my monitor- one is just IT's head and the other is IT's profile when it texts you and the text "YOU CAN'T HIDE" and "i'll always find uuuuu OwO"
I also love how the characters are similar to each other, how the cat likes the player because they resonate the same kind of abandonment (from friends, family, etc.). The player seeks out the missing part of love that they wanted to receive but are struggling to find it and so when they met the cat, they thought that this could be the chance to try and piece out the part that they had once lost. As for the cat, I think they also need the attention (as stated many times from the game) they were looking for so they sort of suit each other, but the player gives too much (because of the fear of being abandoned again) and the cat takes more than they account for, kind of like a toxic relationship. BUT ANYWAYSSS I LOVE THE GAME SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!
Man, I fucking cried. legitimately, one of the best visual novels I’ve played in a long time, and I and I’ve played DDLC. If I had to pick which game I had to play before I died, I would pick this game. I just completed the game 10 minutes ago and I am still sobbing my eyes out. I made I made a Itch.io account just to tell you this. Just to tell you how much I love this game man. This is probably gonna be the only game you may ever make, but from the bottom of my heart, please make another game. God, I’m still wiping away tears from when I burst out crying.
This game genuinely made me SO HAPPY to have the urge to finish games. I LOVE THIS GAME. Totally might share it. but. that leaves me with one thing to think. Do I cling onto others like this? And.. Should I stop going to things that will kill me bit by bit?.. I think so.
Thanks. For making this game. (Even if the creator won't see this.)
The honor I had to livestream such an amazing and visually haunting game on my channel today is sublime! I got 17 endings out of the 40 and it took me around 3hrs. This reminded me so much of Junji Ito with some of the art styles and a bit of Doki Doki. I will definitely be coming back to play more of this. This is peak and one of the best indie games I've played as of recent. 10/10
I had a lot of fun watching your reactions and hearing your theories as you progressed through the game! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. Thanks for trying the game out!

Got me up till 6am to finish this but it was so worth it, i loved this game very much and it even made me paranoid when my cat walked in to the point where i started to when my cats started playing cause i got very scared,
The Final episode to this series on my channel. Well done. This game always made me want to come back and play more. Ending was satisfying and the deeper symbolism for the main character alone makes this game fantastic. 10/10. Thank you for making this game.
I've enjoyed watching you play the game all this time! Your reactions and thoughts (and the voice for the cat XD), it was all very engaging and entertaining! I'm so glad you liked the game and its story. I know it took a while, but thank you for playing to the very end :')
Man what an experience. Been waiting a while to play this one and it was definitely worth it. I'm even getting inspired to make my own fan continuation after the true ending. Simple-ish story with a lot packed into it to play though. If you ever make another game I'd be interested for sure ^^
spoilers(?)
Also I managed to complete the mirror maze on hard mode and it gave me a medal :3
I thought it was going to be very strong because of the amount of warnings it had, but the truth is that I loved it, I also felt sorry for the cat, but that's the game, some incredible gems of games.
Este é, sem dúvidas,um dos melhores jogos que já joguei. Apesar da retição do loop, ele conseguiu me prender de maneira surpreendente. A mecânica, embora simples, é complementada por diálogos cativantes, estéticos e cenários divinos (na minha sincera opnião). É impossível não perceber que o jogo funciona como uma elegoria de um relacionamento abusivo, o que torna ainda mais impactante. Confesso que chorei no final. Meus sinceros parabéns pelo trabalho maravilhoso !
Simply perfect game. Definitely the best Renpy game I've ever played. I could write dozens of lines saying how good it is, but I want to keep it simple: I recommend anyone who is thinking about downloading it to do so.
Not dumb! Make sure when you're loading that you didn't accidentally go into the Save page. The Ren'Py game engine makes both the Load page and the Save page look very similar (I'd make the mistake of overwriting saves multiple times while testing and debugging the game too XD) and easy to switch from one to the other. Always check where you're at by looking up at the left corner to see if it says Load or Save
Just an awesome game. I went through it back in February and spent the whole year reviewing/retelling it at the same time. In total, 12 videos, along with a video about all the endings. I really liked this project, I think it shows. The plot is banal in places, but the endings were really very unexpected. I played through the game for a total of 8 hours and during this time I was constantly surprised by the creative and cruel endings of the illusions that the “cat” created. Also here you can see the growth of the main character, who grows from a crybaby offended by life into a real person who loves his life and finds meaning in it. This is an extremely interesting growth that is clearly seen through the flashbacks that sometimes pop up between endings. In general, the plot, although not without its drawbacks, cannot be avoided without praise. The soundtrack deserves special thanks, which I fully used when dubbing and reviewing this wonderful game. It’s really cool and I’m especially grateful to the author for posting this soundtrack on YouTube, which helped me a lot too. So yes. I spent a total of 10 months on this game and I definitely don't regret anything. In visual novels, this is a masterpiece, for sure this year. Keep up the good work buddy.

Thank you so much for playing! I can't wait to start watching all these XD
I'm glad you appreciated the game's endings and the main character's development by the end of the story. I'm also happy that you liked the soundtrack and that the Youtube playlist was helpful for you! I can't really describe how grateful I am that you were willing to spend so much time on playing the game to the end and sharing it with others, so I'll just say thank you again. I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

Hi love the game
Hello, i should ask. This game have russian, spanish or german translate? If don't, i think i can translate this game in russian...... Maybe........
Если это возможно, не упускайте эту возможность. Жутко не хватает русского языка...
So I don't know how to contact the developer of this game but I'd be open to make a German translation if needed.
If anybody can tell me how to contact the developer I would be very grateful :)

我没有玩过，想知道这是什么类型的游戏，

I'm thankful for the help I got from the translator! I'm glad it'll help the game reach more readers. Thank you so much for playing!

Hope you liked the hard mode! >:D Good job beating it!
Well, I'll make some drawings at least. I'll probably write a fanfiction or something when I have time. Would you like the links when and if I finish?
Thank you so much!
good game. kind of wish I didn't complete it all in one sitting though
Aww.. I'm glad you were able to play to the end, though!
Thank you for playing!

i just have to ask does the cat care about us
It does care in its own way...
Sadly, it just also enjoys making you suffer.
