My experience <3

-Download the game

-Don't take the cat

-Delete the game

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.

HELL YEAH I LOVE THIS

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:

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：）

nah imma still take it home

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

Dear creator, and the lovely team,

I have never written a love letter to anyone in my life, let alone for a game. However, after having played this game with all 40 endings at last, I feel compelled to write one.  It is only fair to do so.

I decided to download this game after seeing it on Instagram (during the countless hours of doom-scrolling, of course), I thought of giving it a go since it's free. Who says no to  a free game, especially when it involves a cute little cat? I obviously knew it was a horror game, but just how long will it take me to complete it? I have guts of steel, I obviously would've finished it in a day.

Spoiler alert: I did not finish it in a day. In fact, it took me two nights to finish the game because I started to feel a little unsettled (probably because I played it at night like a dumbass), the repetitive endings and constant blood did not help my case either. 

I am not eloquent by any definition, but that does not mean I will not do my darndest to express my love for this game. I've read the other comments and this one in particular might bore you. Mine will be quite the long read. Sorry in advance. 

 Firstly, I'd like to talk about the art style. It's not a style that is necessarily complex or detailed but it serves the game design absolutely right. Its simplicity is what makes it so eerily beautiful (or beautifully eerie. Either works.). The contrast, the lighting, the gore, the specific amount of details in each jumpscare, the transitions, they're all really well done. My personal favourite was the D O G ending. It made my heart race the fastest, the puppy even made me feel a bit scared in the N/A ending! That's how you know you've done a good job - when you've traumatized the player enough to have your imagery be burnt into the back of their retinas. 

Every image must tell a story, and every story is a carefully put together painting. The way the storyline ebbs and flows, each creative ending is insane. However, it did get repetitive after one point and I felt like I was running around in circles (re: ending 23: Feedback loop) but hey, we made it out. The narration does a great job at depicting how utterly despondent we are - after all, the perception of the self does not exist if the perception of us through others has been long lost to the winds of isolation. I will talk more about the ending later; the very thing that prompted me to write this comment is the true ending after all. 

The music design excels at immersing the player in the game's environment - personally, I felt like the music was simple (following a set of 4-6 beats in consecutive succession) but that is a part of its charm.  The jumpscares and the horror aspect of the game really intrigued me. I don't do well with horror games and I get easily scared. VERY scared. The combination of the art style, the music, the framing and the timing of each second here was great. I was constantly anxious, thanks. 

The concept of being trapped in an endless time loop of uncertainties, warping reality into a fabric into an known stream of (un)consciousness is not new, but the execution of it is what makes all the difference. I was as exasperated as the protagonist by the end of each twist and turn. It was exhausting in the exact same way toxic relationships are. It was tiresome having to deal with the cat's boredom, only for me to be its little lab rat - a game for it to enjoy as I slowly let my brain matter turn into mush for its amusement (IT might even call the feeling "love", but I beg to differ). 

If I'd played this game ~2-3 years ago, I would've scoffed and tuned it out instantly, "of course the ending goes this way, of course I'd never go back to the 'cat'. Duh." But now... it was healing. I felt myself wanting to make the same decisions as I did with my own personal life even in a game. To my pleasant surprise, I found that there were options for going that route. The N/A ending sequence is on repeat as I type this particular line out - each dialogue from the scene feels like tiny knives right to my heart. Oh, it hurts so beautifully. This is absolutely lovely. I shed physical tears as the ending played out before my eyes. I will definitely have this part on loop for a while now. 

Oh, and the best part? The aftermath of the cat. The inability to move on, the shock of the past, the having to go back to the alley to see the cardboard box only for me to have a break down right in front of it, going to all the places in my city only for me to find out the world is bigger than I thought, it is much bigger than the nightmares I was handed and definitely bigger than what was once a cute cat I wanted to take home. The explanation for the feeling of relief is just what I needed right now. I might be getting a little personal here, but after finally cutting out an incredibly toxic 'friendship' where I was abused in every way possible, I felt like feeling relief was not something I'm worthy of. I had hurt the other person "as much as they hurt me", but I know full well it is not the case. Lady Justice does not know how imbalanced the scales are when she believes that her blindfold serves true justice. 

This ending in specific will be played over and over again for the next few days, I will be thinking about this game a lot. I will finally be letting myself feel the rage, the grief, the guilt, the shame, the hatred, and most importantly - the relief of letting go. The absolute relief of not going back, the relief of having lived through it to see the light at the end of the alley. What once may seem like the one thing that saves you has the full ability to be the one to demolish you. Your ability to persist and tell a story, be an example to the others stuck in the same cycle is what makes you be a stronger person for yourself more than anyone. No matter how much the other person begs for you to stay, even threatening you with their perishment, they have no control over you. You are what makes them powerful, you are the one they need, they need your power to have power over you.  

The very fact that I am still unable to grasp the right words to type into my keyboard that perfectly encapsulates just how much I am in love with this experience of a game.  

I am beyond grateful for you to have made this game. I cannot express my thanks enough financially yet, but I hope one day I will be able to support you. You have my utmost gratitude, especially considering you've saved me a lot of money that could've been wasted on therapy. It could never compare to this project.  

Thank you once again. I am eternally indebted to you. I hope you continue to make games knowing that you've helped every single one of us who've played this game in some way or the other - be it the way they brace for jumpscares better now, or the way they brace life with a raised head and a heart full of hope. 

Sincerely,

Stae.

amazing game, i absolutely love it, for some reason the good endin made me a bit sad (due to the HIM dying), hope you liked making this game an hope that if you continue making games that you have a fun time making them (sorry that im not good with words) 

please please please there has to be a way to play it again, i uninstalled it and reinstalled it so i can't delete save data anymore and i think i messed it up its been a week pleaseee-

Incredible Game, 100/10

10/10, cried a lot.

eu gosto de terror sou br se alguem saber como se escreve sabe do que eu estou falando eu gosto do jogo

I don't have the custom of play visual novels in this style, most of the time i play datesims or wathever, but, in my searching to a new game to play, i have found this, and without thinking so much (and without seeing any description, hehe) i install, because there was a cat on it, and you know, CATS <3

I thought it would all come down to a cute game of adopting a little street cat, but NO, IT DOESN'T, IT'S MORE THAN THAT, but I HAVE LIKE SO MUCH THIS GAME, even i was scared of the huge list of TRIGGERS WARNINGS, i like SO MUCH, it was so great to live in the shoes of a protagonist overcoming his traumas about loneliness, anyway, i give 10/10 for this game, and it's made me want to look for more games in this style, I hoping for you produce more games!!!

This was absolutely incredible! You didn't just anticipate people abusing the save system/back button to find more and more endings but leaned into it, the writing was amazing,  and somehow you managed to make minigames work with Renpy's relatively static format. If this is your first game, I'm looking forward to whatever else you decide to make!

Yeeahhhh So This Game Is Amazing

YFSDYFSUSUJGXCHGGSHI THIS GAME IS AMAZING IVE PLAYED IT TWICE AND IT WAS STILL JUST AS GOOD

one of the best games i playes 10/10

very scary kitty

cutest creepy game ever!!! 10/10 <3

my cat looks just like that one, and he was sleeping next to me while i played- not very good emotional support

I binged this game within two hours it was great I couldn't stop playing the cat still has me trapped

English:

Who would think that a game made in a PowerPoint presentation style would be so...complete. Who would say that this same game telling you a story with drawings could be so...deep, that it makes you feel a catalog of emotions. ..which are only seen in stories that are really well written; Each situation, each moment, each possible life revealed more of the protagonist's secrets and... it. I'm only going to say 1 Spoiler if you allow me: When it begs about to disappear, for that human to stay, you can see how he really begs, how he promises to change, how he really did love that human, and the phrase which makes me think that everything he said at that moment was true: 'I hate you.' Because when someone really loves you and you turn your back on them... it would be surprising how quickly that person goes from saying: 'I love you' to 'I hate you'. I think this from my own experience, I am the it of the person that I opened my friendship. And that simple phrase that demonstrates the amount of emotions that can exist in a conscious being, on top of that they do not seem so deep because when that being is about to lose everything, it teaches you how simple they were, how deep they can be and how complete they will be.

I deservedly give a 10/10 to this game with 2 characters: Solitude and company.

Español:

Quien podría pensar que un juego hecho estilo presentación de PowerPoint fuera tan...completo. Quien diría que este mismo juego contándote una historia con dibujos pueda ser tan...profundo, que te haga sentir un catalogo de emociones...que solo se ven en historias que de verdad están bien escritas; Cada situación, cada momento,  cada posible vida te iba desvelando más los secretos de el protagonista y...eso. Solo voy a decir 1 Spoiler si me lo permiten: Cuando eso suplica apunto de desaparecer, para que aquel humano se quede,  se puede ver como suplica de verdad, como promete que cambiara, como de verdad si quería a aquel humano, y la frase que me hace pensar que todo lo que decía en ese momento era verdad: 'Te odio'. Debido a que cuando alguien de verdad te quiere y tu le das la espalda...sorprendería la velocidad con al que esa persona pasa de decirte: 'Te quiero' a 'Te odio'. Esto lo pienso así por experiencia propia, yo soy el eso de la persona a la que le abrí mi amistad. Y esa simple frase que demuestra la cantidad de emociones que puede haber en un ser consiente, por encima no parecen tan profundas por cuando aquel ser esta apunto de perderlo todo, te enseña que tan simples eran, que tan profundas pueden ser y como de completas serán.

Le doy merecidamente un 10/10 a este juego con 2 personajes: La soledad y la compañía.
