My favorite visual novel to date, this was so good. Keeping me at the edge of my seat while still being able to tackle tough themes with care and tactful humor. Fantastic job here, I LOVED it!
Well, the game I mean, not IT...IT can die in a fire for all I care lol
Tell you a good news! Someone in Bilibili has finally done a comprehensive analysis of your game, and the playback is also very impressive, and there may be more Chinese players to play your game next. Oh yeah!! I can die in peace!
I absolutely adore this game. It's one of the first games i downloaded on itch.io, and since then i've been absolutely mesmerized for the story. I related so much to the MC and their ending was really beautiful, the entire game itself it's so well-written i was immediately hooked :D
I wish i could write more, but english isn't my first languague and i'm not so confident to proceed haha. Anyways, i really loved this game, absolutely 5 stars.
I wish I could help for translation if you need(schinese).I've already translated the prologue. And then I found that making a game is such a huge work. Thank you again for making a good game to us.
Thank you very much for playing! It's amazing that you translated the whole prologue! I won't ask you to translate anything -- it wouldn't be fair since I can't offer to pay -- but anyone's allowed to attempt to translate the game if they really want to.
Thank you for your reply. I meant that if someday you wanna translate this game to let more people know about this masterpiece, I would give you a hand. I won't ask you to pay because you have already given us a good game!
Sorry for the reply, I took some time to think about it and I think it would really be nice to let other people be able to play the game. You can message me with my twitter account on my profile page if you're still interested. But it's more than okay if you're not anymore!
I really loved the story and every endings… I just wished that there was an alternative true ending that allows us to bring IT home when IT lost all ITs power even after everything IT puts us through…
You're fine! When you choose to go back, it takes you back to before completing the last four endings -- it's just an option to make things easier for completionists who missed Ending 37 or any unique dialogue in the other different endings.
he warned... DO NOT TAKE THIS CAT HOME, but above all, very cool game, quality, story, endings, appearance etc. I didn't explore everything, but I liked it. hehe
THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD GAME!!! It made me so happy in the end when the MC got a new little kitty, I hope the MC lives a happy peaceful life now with their kitty.
I...is it weird that I wanted to take it home even after all that?
I only got 38/40 endings (including the very end.) But I can't seem to get Ending 36 and 37. I am unsure what process to take and don't wanna say without spoiling.
That's odd, Ending 37 is optional, but you shouldn't be able to proceed to the endgame endings without Ending 36. I'll have to look into it, thank you so much for letting me know!
Also, you're not weird! I think a lot of people wished that 'it' was the kind of cat that's safe to take home, but alas (╥﹏╥)
It's unique, refreshing, and the message in the end tugged on my heartstrings (I also feel oddly connected to the MC). It's all the stars in the universe out of 5 stars for me. Really fucking epic and definitely one of the best games I've ever played <333
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)

Amazing 40 endings actually unsettling it is so hard to find a good horror game
Thank you so much!

Well, the game I mean, not IT...IT can die in a fire for all I care lol
That's so kind of you to say! I'm glad you liked the game. Thank you so much for giving it a try!

你应该是中国人吧，我英语不好就用中文问了，请问是哪个up做了这个游戏的视频
呱！是同胞呀！

🤓👆这位大佬叫阿力阿力栗，爱玩视觉小说的。但他在视频里的讲解也不太全面，有许多有趣小细节被剪了，讲到猫被主控消灭那会儿没讲仔细导致好多人以为收养的另一只绿眼睛小猫是那只猫的残存势力呢哈哈哈，我也有在弹幕和评论区细心详细地给别人解答啦。
感谢同志的分享
哦耶🦆✔✔
我日终于看见老乡了呜呜呜呜
我也很激动的瓦💥😭😭
That's so cool! Thank you for letting me know!
Yaaaayyyyyy

Thank you very much for playing! I'm glad you liked the ending, even if it was a little bittersweet.
Very very cool ! I play it because someone recommand it on instagram and i very enjoy it until the end !
Do not take this cat home but take this game on your pc
(When i play it again and loading some saves, the last endings disappear of my list, i hope i haven't forgotten one x) )
Thank you very much for playing!
You're fine! When you choose to go back, it takes you back to before completing the last four endings -- it's just an option to make things easier for completionists who missed Ending 37 or any unique dialogue in the other different endings.

I only got 38/40 endings (including the very end.)
But I can't seem to get Ending 36 and 37. I am unsure what process to take and don't wanna say without spoiling.
You're not the only one who wants to take IT home still xD I can relate
...so can I keep IT?
Sure wish we could haha.
That's odd, Ending 37 is optional, but you shouldn't be able to proceed to the endgame endings without Ending 36. I'll have to look into it, thank you so much for letting me know!
Also, you're not weird! I think a lot of people wished that 'it' was the kind of cat that's safe to take home, but alas (╥﹏╥)
Well. I wanted to take IT specifically home... Not just the cat.
It's unique, refreshing, and the message in the end tugged on my heartstrings (I also feel oddly connected to the MC). It's all the stars in the universe out of 5 stars for me. Really fucking epic and definitely one of the best games I've ever played <333
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
This was actually awesome
Thank you very much!
Really intresting game with a lot of playability if you have the time
Thank you so much for trying out the game!

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=)
someone please help me figure out how to download this game cause it’s not working 😭😭

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.

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.
Exactly right! Thank you so much for the insightful comment and for playing the game!
Please make it for mobile
Thank you so much for trying out the game! I hope you enjoy the rest of the game and the story!
I Took the cat home
Uh oh...
Seriously… this game keeps getting more and more interesting… Quality Game With A Quality Cat. At least I think it’s a cat?
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.
This has to have been one of the best games I've played in the last few years.
Thank mew
You're meow-st welcome! Thank you for playing!
