I just wanted to say this is a really good game, and I love the art style. My first playthrough, when I found the mirror maze, I activated hard mode and beat it first try in hard mode! And the description of the ending reflected this too which was awesome. And, during the 8 lives remaining ending, i guessed the word first try no mistakes without using the hint.
My favorite endings in this game would have to be ERROR, and the dog park ending (Which I got in my first cycle, beating every quick time event!), although I was a bit disappointed, I had to give into leaving, I wanted to persist just to spite the voice telling me to leave!. Really good work here! Also, I'm still left without an ending, but I don't plan on removing all my work it took to escape IT and defeat it for once just to see every ending. I'd rather let the souls rest.
Thank you for your thoughtful exploration of the game!
I'm glad you enjoyed the hard mode in the mirror maze! I wanted a little challenge in the game, but not everyone likes a bunch of gameplay in visual novels so I made hard mode optional. The ERROR and dog park endings were fun to write since they're meant to make you feel like you're doing something you shouldn't that messes with world in the game -- making IT take notice and start speaking to you more directly.
Thank you for trying out the game, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This game is wonderful, absolutely amazing in my taste of games, although I kind of wished there was a second option, after you escape the cat and decide to not take it home at all. But I wonder if there ever be a sequel for this game. That will be more interesting if it was planned or not
Thank you so much trying out the game! I'm glad you liked it! I don't plan on making a sequel for it, but hopefully I'll be able to make more games in the future!
Hello! I'm Mexy San and I just started posting on my channel. I am making video essays, and your game is one of my first uploads, and it was an amazing experience in trying to create a video essay around such an layered game. I hope I did it justice. Cheers! Also, the game definitely made me way more scared of cats now. ^._.^
That part is really intense, yeah! It's part of the reason why I made so many other endings to build up to it. Thanks for trying the game! I'm glad you were able to finish it
i played the game and got a few endings, and the ending where you turn into a fish creeped me out SOOO much that when i got into the first part of it where your legs turn into a flipper, i was like "NOPE, NOT TODAY".
i had a funny nightmare, not sure if playing this game caused it.
But i had a nightmare of a calico cat who was in my bed frame looking through a hole, but on a different hole, there was 2 red glowing eyes and i stayed away, and for some reason people in my nightmare became possessed and tried to hurt me.
Just saying this so i can have something to comment lmao
i also have night terrors that like to stare at me all night long through my window, it peers at me like a greedy goblin, i now call him boggle because goobly boogly fungy mungy hahahah
i don't know what the hell is wrong with me, but i cant get this game out of my HEAD. Great job, 18,432/10.

I've really enjoyed all your commentary on the game these past few weeks! I appreciate you trying out the game and I'm even happier that you pushed through all the way the end. Thank you for all your kind words and encouragement. And once again, thank you for playing my game!
This is literally the best game I played in my LIFE! (not including the slight trauma that I got but I can bare with it) Tbh I'd take this cat [monster] home no matter what <3
Hey pixie! So I've been binging playthroughs of your game and, my cat shadows brother had died in a horrible tornado, what makes it worse is that I'm in a different country, my parents are babysitting them, it isn't in my parents control for life and death so I don't blame them for having my cat passing away, not their fault anyway, seeing your success in a game makes me smile, I see that anyone can succeed if they work hard, and I've also enjoyed your game sooo much, thanks for making such an amazing game, and making my day.
I'm so sorry to hear about Shadow's brother. The death of a beloved pet is never easy so I hope that you're able to find a little comfort in the memories you shared with him.
I really love this game and I'd like to play it again from the beginning, but I cant understand how to reset the progress:( Thanks in advance and thanks to the developer for this game<3
Absolutely! Search up Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware, and Avast Antivirus download them all, run every file on your computer, Avast will scan the files, after that, any worms that have infect the video game file "do not take this cat home" will have been deleted
Hi! So, I tried to get the game, and I have an apple computer. It doesn't let me download it. I mean once I go to my files or what ever, it doesn't let me open it. Does anyone know how to fix it?
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:
i finished it all in one day INSANE game (in a good way) when IT began to cry i couldn't help but feel really bad for it (maybe its a part of me too LOL) but i cant figure out one of the ending i think its the very last one yk when the game goes back to normal after everything all the endings are just the same and its saying i didnt get the final ones but i have saves from them am i just being stupid
Once you beat the game, the main menu has "..." as an option to return to the alley. If you choose to play again, it won't completely reset game, but it will bring you back to the point before you started endgame segments - so right before ending 36. That way people could replay the other endings without losing the ability to skip already seen dialogue/lines. It doesn't erase saves from when you played those final endings, but it removes them from the Endings menu.

I hope the MC and the kitten live happily ever and IT finds better ways to express affection and stops torturing random people.
That's a really nice thought!
Please make it a reality.
spoiler warning ahead
I just wanted to say this is a really good game, and I love the art style. My first playthrough, when I found the mirror maze, I activated hard mode and beat it first try in hard mode! And the description of the ending reflected this too which was awesome. And, during the 8 lives remaining ending, i guessed the word first try no mistakes without using the hint.
My favorite endings in this game would have to be ERROR, and the dog park ending (Which I got in my first cycle, beating every quick time event!), although I was a bit disappointed, I had to give into leaving, I wanted to persist just to spite the voice telling me to leave!.
Really good work here!
Also, I'm still left without an ending, but I don't plan on removing all my work it took to escape IT and defeat it for once just to see every ending. I'd rather let the souls rest.
Thank you for your thoughtful exploration of the game!
I'm glad you enjoyed the hard mode in the mirror maze! I wanted a little challenge in the game, but not everyone likes a bunch of gameplay in visual novels so I made hard mode optional. The ERROR and dog park endings were fun to write since they're meant to make you feel like you're doing something you shouldn't that messes with world in the game -- making IT take notice and start speaking to you more directly.
Thank you for trying out the game, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This game is wonderful, absolutely amazing in my taste of games, although I kind of wished there was a second option, after you escape the cat and decide to not take it home at all. But I wonder if there ever be a sequel for this game. That will be more interesting if it was planned or not
Thank you so much trying out the game! I'm glad you liked it! I don't plan on making a sequel for it, but hopefully I'll be able to make more games in the future!
I made a Graph on obsidian for (basically) every option. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RD-Z_oNRS_tUrIDT4SiIenSpr5jUPS6B?usp=sha...
That's so cool seeing all the endings laid out like that! Geez, there really were a lot, haha!
That was so cool! Like a walkthrough guide with added commentary! Congrats on starting your Youtube channel, and thank you trying out my game!
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed it :)
that is not a cat
that is EL DIABLO!
Haha! XD
i should have filmed this
real
LETS FREAKING GOOOOO
we must decide the kittens name from the ending, what his name will be? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
has to be good
idk reply in my reply section thingy for name suggestions, pixeliminal's choice will be the first pick no matter what
Activate windows
Honestly, it's much more fun for me seeing what other people come up with!
10/10
Thank you!
(i played it) HOOOOOLY CRAAAP, it made me so traumatised when it asked me to *you know what* to the kitty :(
such a good game i would love to play your other ones!
i cant seem to get ending 36, i hope i figure it out :I
I FIGURED OUT I WAS BUGGED :D i had to redo a bit of stuff
That part is really intense, yeah! It's part of the reason why I made so many other endings to build up to it. Thanks for trying the game! I'm glad you were able to finish it

what about a loan my boy
no, crime is da best.
Sorry it took so long to download! There are a TON of images and a few video files too, so that's probably why
i played the game and got a few endings, and the ending where you turn into a fish creeped me out SOOO much that when i got into the first part of it where your legs turn into a flipper, i was like "NOPE, NOT TODAY".
This is one of the only few 10 out of 10 free games and deserves all the appreciation. This has to go to the Gaming Hall of Fame!
That's so kind of you to say! I'm glad you liked the game!
once i play a few endings, i shall give the approval of bagel from 1-10 rating
i cant pelive this game is free!
i just suprised becuse this game has lot of works and thats impresses me :)
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you liked the game!
Nyaa... Nyaa.... ah a a wow
Anyway, this is great game.
Thank you so much!
i had a funny nightmare, not sure if playing this game caused it.
But i had a nightmare of a calico cat who was in my bed frame looking through a hole, but on a different hole, there was 2 red glowing eyes and i stayed away, and for some reason people in my nightmare became possessed and tried to hurt me.
Just saying this so i can have something to comment lmao
i also have night terrors that like to stare at me all night long through my window, it peers at me like a greedy goblin, i now call him boggle because goobly boogly fungy mungy hahahah
That sounds terrifying! Maybe that calico cat was trying to protect you? That'd be nice, haha!
I'm so upset that I messed up my recordings on this. The cat is adorable, of course I took it home even if it does kill me. :3
*boo womp SFX* :(
>:(
*boo womp SFX* >:)
I'm glad you still enjoyed game!
I finished the game, my favorite ending that didn't include the N/A ending was the plush ending :) I like cats.
kibdy kabt
#getafather is all i'm gonna say.
The plush endings were both fun, played into my fears of dolls coming alive! Cats are great <3
I just realized you reply to every single comment. Please tell me you are working on a new game, I'd love to see more from you.
i hope they do too
I try to! I hope to make a new game sometime soon!
i don't know what the hell is wrong with me, but i cant get this game out of my HEAD. Great job, 18,432/10.

Thank you so much!
I learned what happens when I take the cat home... I only got 2 endings so far but MAN is this mad interesting!
Thank you so much for trying out the game! I hope you enjoy the rest of the game and its story!
Definitely enjoyed the game and am highly considering going back to finishing it! Keep up the good work!
I've really enjoyed all your commentary on the game these past few weeks! I appreciate you trying out the game and I'm even happier that you pushed through all the way the end. Thank you for all your kind words and encouragement. And once again, thank you for playing my game!
Amazing gam
Thank you!
yay i did it, nice game
Thank you so much for playing to the end!
The cat is very cute that I'm gonna die like idc i will take home if they can kill me
Splendid!
ITThe cat will be very pleased! (=OwO=)im still gonna take the cat home idc, i lovve cats even if they can murder me
Haha! The cat lover's dilemma: evil cat = cat(?) = ♥(???)
Btw, I'm using it to teach english to my sister!
That's awesome! I'm glad the game could be helpful in that way!
Best game ever! Gives me Lovecraft and Coraline vibes all of the time. Great storylines and ending(s)!
Those were among many inspirations for the game, so that's quite the compliment! Thank you very much!
This is literally the best game I played in my LIFE! (not including the slight trauma that I got but I can bare with it) Tbh I'd take this cat [monster] home no matter what <3
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the game!
Hey pixie! So I've been binging playthroughs of your game and, my cat shadows brother had died in a horrible tornado, what makes it worse is that I'm in a different country, my parents are babysitting them, it isn't in my parents control for life and death so I don't blame them for having my cat passing away, not their fault anyway, seeing your success in a game makes me smile, I see that anyone can succeed if they work hard, and I've also enjoyed your game sooo much, thanks for making such an amazing game, and making my day.
I'm so sorry to hear about Shadow's brother. The death of a beloved pet is never easy so I hope that you're able to find a little comfort in the memories you shared with him.
thanks for the kind words. I hope you find success in future projects if you have any.
PLEASE HELP
I really love this game and I'd like to play it again from the beginning, but I cant understand how to reset the progress:(
Thanks in advance and thanks to the developer for this game<3
What's ur os?
Windows 11
Alright, first press the windows key.
Now type %APPDATA% and press enter.
Now, select the folder that says "renpy" and open.
Then delete the folder that looks something like "do not take this cat home".
Then reopen the game, tell me if the game doesnt restart.
It didn't work:(
NVM, IT DID. OH DUDE, THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH AGAIN💞👍
yw :|)
just beat the game. I LOVE IT
Thank you very much!
This game is so so so good. I usually don't post comment anything but i really enjoyed playing this, and even cried lol.
Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the game!
Here to talk to past self. It won't let me because it says it may not be free from Malware. Does anyone know how to get rid of that Malware warning??
Absolutely! Search up Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware, and Avast Antivirus download them all, run every file on your computer, Avast will scan the files, after that, any worms that have infect the video game file "do not take this cat home" will have been deleted
Hi! So, I tried to get the game, and I have an apple computer. It doesn't let me download it. I mean once I go to my files or what ever, it doesn't let me open it. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Unzip the file
How do you restart the game completely? the game was completly amazing but I really wanna play it all over again like compleatly is their a way to?
Thank you very much for playing!
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>
## Macintosh: $HOME/Library/RenPy/<config.save_directory>
## Linux: $HOME/.renpy/<config.save_directory>
