Just finished the game and I need to leave a review about my thoughts because the writing is so sooooo good. I didn't think the final where we leave IT would make me emotional but it was heartbreaking; despite all the suffering IT put us through I felt bad for abandoning it, it wasn't until the protagonist describes how it was the following weeks after leaving IT that I found myself on the verge of tears. I have never been into a romantic relationship but maybe I did experience something similar to a break up because when I read how MC would sometimes think about it, blame themselves, miss it and go back to the alley crying I had a lump in my throat.
I loved some of the alternative endings, especially the ones where IT ends up having a living doll kitten to take care of and when MC lets IT fed upon an unlucky stranger and both begin a new life together, letting IT eat at its heart content. I have so many questions though:
Which names would the doll kitten and the one eye kittens have if they had played more relevant roles in the story?
+ Does IT hate dogs simply because it has the form of a cat or did something happen to feed this hatred?
+ Can other animals aside from rats and cats take nightmare-ish forms (leaving the fact that all those scenarios were made up in our head)?
+ How would life be if we had kept IT and it lived with us (death and suffering never ending loop aside)?
+ IS the green-hazel eye kitten a parallel to IT (how it could have been - their relationship or IT itself- if the devilish cat wasn't toxic)?
+ Did MC adopted a cat similar to IT as way to cope or is their similar appearance merely coincidental? Even if it's a coincidence I can't help but imagine MC will sometimes look at the kitten and be reminded of IT
I know it portrays a toxic/abusive relationship and it does a great job at making it realistic because - while we know it enjoys making us suffer - it is true IT cares for us in a twisted way; both feeding our craving of not being left completely alone while belitting ourselves so we don't get enough confidence that we can and deserve better and ultimately abandon it. His (can we refer to IT as he/him besides using it/its?) power relies on having someone, so the fact his roars and threats turn out to crying meows could be both a manipulating tactic to make MC feel pity and join its side again and/or real sadness and deseperation to keep the human who did its existence entertaining.
Still, I can't help but love this diabolical cute, selfish, gaslighting, jealous, possessive and cruel kitty. Now that I have ended the game I feel that emptyness one has when they finish a really good series/book and I miss having IT if that makes sense? I wish there was more content about this evil baby out there or the story was longer but I am glad with what the game offers.
Anyway, thank you for this wonderful game that may become something I come back to play every once in a while. I'll cope with the hole IT has left in my heart by drawing my kitty alongside other yandere characters I like (hopefully my eldritch kitten will learn to share its human,,,probably not >.<)
I really enjoyed this game. All the endings are nicely made. The visuals and writing itself are really good. The parts where the mc speaks of his past and of all the crap that has happened to him and how he feels kinda got to me in a strange, but pleasant way. I would absolutely recommend to anyone who like visual novel's style games. Kudos to the developer.
I really like this game genuinely. It kept me stumped for a day or two but the ending was sorta emotional for me. Some parts of it reminded me of a relationship I used to have, but overall I genuinely enojoyed this game a lot.
Played this four months ago, but I realized no one can actually see reviews, so I'm reposting mine here(light spoilers):
This game is truly, genuinely amazing. I was not expecting to find what is probably now one of my favorite games of all time as a random visual novel that's FREE. I played this for about three hours, but it sure uses its time VERY effectively. Vague spoilers ahead, but I love how this game does horror. Although you have this cat that is brutally murdering you and causing horrible things to happen, at the beginning, I still see a cute cat. These adorable feline friend interactions are littered all throughout the game, and even with the numerous horrible things happening to me I still just could not get over the fact that it still is a cat, and I still ended up cycling through every single ending of taking the cat home and trying to befriend it before I even got to the others. The fact that you can still hear it meow and do numerous cat things just makes me want to befriend it more, and even to the very end, when the tone had slowly and steadily shifted, when the cute cat noises were brought out it still would pull at my heart. The violence is 10/10 by the way, I love the numerous sorts of terrifying scenarios, and how you can even see the trauma of past endings leaking into your interactions, it's sick as hell. The title screen which you are taken to every time you get an ending does a great job at illustrating how I felt throughout the game, where at first you see a cute cat, and the more endings you go through the more deranged it gets, until it's finally DO NOT TAKE IT HOME. Fully mirroring how although it's a cat, your determination to befriend it in some way slowly switches to concentrate more on defying it and escaping, getting a good ending for yourself by any means. Although you want that from the start, it's crazy how the tone slowly shifts. And let me tell you, the story for this game was absolutely top notch. It had one of those answer all your questions part near the very end and it did not disappoint, some of the biggest plot twists ever. It is literally insane how good this game's story is. The ending was also absolutely bananas, it was kind of sad in a way seeing what ends up happening for the sort of first half of the ending. Though to briefly touch on the absolute final part of the game, man I have never had my face turn to pure happiness so quickly. Absolutely top notch game, the soundtrack can be a little basic at times but it is absolutely criminal this game is free, play it.
