Hello, I really liked the game. In my opinion, it's one of the best visual novels I've seen. I don't know if "visual novel" is the correct term, but something I would like you to implement would be the translation into Spanish, since I have a bit of difficulty with English since I'm Mexican and don't know much English. I had trouble understanding some of the dialogue.
Even if you want, I could help you with the translation.
In conclusion, the game is very good, one of the best visual novels I've seen.
I got all the endings, and I have to say it was beautiful, definitely worth the effort to get them all I LOVE IT, the spooky atmosphere and body horror were spectacular I was shivering looking at that pretty cat after that it kill me multiple times 😭
And I loved the art and the yandere monster kitten theme had me on my knees I would have fallen into that evil kitty clutches again and again too because, why friend shape if not friendly? 💔
Loved this game! So creative and so genuinely scary. & thank you for making an ending guide! I loooove the deceptively cute horror genre and this is one of the best games I've played in the genre :D
I was very scared when I first started the game, but so glad I pushed through it because the underlying message of this game was so beautiful. Thank you so much for putting in all the hard work into crafting this game and letting us enjoy it!
I have only begun to explore the depths of this game, yet what I’ve experienced so far is astonishing, and the other endings I discovered today are even more remarkable. I truly appreciate the meticulous attention to detail throughout the game; every element and piece of dialogue has been thoughtfully crafted and skillfully executed, including the various endings. I can confidently say that this game is, without a doubt, a top-tier horror visual novel. 10/10 ☆ ₍^. .^₎⟆
This has been an amazing game, I have all but one ending, but is there a way to reset your progress and play from the beginning? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it didn't work. Thank you!!
I'm waiting to write a longer comment until I get all the endings (only 8 more to go!) but I want you to know, dear developer, I am OBSESSED with this so hard. I love the music and the sound design, the art is deceptively cute and simple, and I LOVE MY CAT THAT KILLS ME BECAUSE THAT'S ALL IT KNOWS HOW TO DO
I've recently been making a wiki for a roblox game that may or not become an actual Project and I have decided to put The Cat from this game whose going to be the most expensive monster and the monster with the most abilities, but I have looked into the Deconfirmed Monsters page from a certain wiki (To which I requested a Do NOT Take This Cat Home rep, but it was denied for being too similar to Cartoon Cat? What) and there I have seen that the creator of the game, Pixeliminal has been in some kind of controversy, which I am unaware of and can't find, can someone tell me what it is? Is it small or huge big?
That sounds really cool! I'll have to keep an eye out for it! I don't know anything about any controversy though. I barely interact online except for comments and questions. TTwTT
Oh! Well, I don't know anything about any controversy either. Sad that you are barely able to interact online. I have tried to make the abilities of The Cat to be as similar to the endings in the game. Like that one ending where The Cat randomly creates a Black Hole and kills you with it and that one ending where you die because The Cat just sends you Whatsapp messages with no explanation on it does it, that's also an ability! I also have more type of monsters/killers in the list! Like That's Not My Neighbour, Another Princess is in our castle, Lobotomy Corporation, Let's Find Larry. Very cool. I also don't really know why I'm replying to this. I was least expecting to see a reply here that's like 4 DAYS ago be replied to a month old comment. Have a Nice day and everything Good, bye bye! (I exist on the Pillar Chase 2 fandom and some more Fandoms)
I LOVE THIS!! but could you make it playable on Browser🥺 I've really wanted to play this but can't cause I own a Chromebook, and can only playthings on here with browser. please make it playable on browser If you can.🥺
You managed to make an adorable little kitty into a truly terrifying eldritch horror. There's an incredibly heavy sense of dread mid-game, that no matter what you do it's never right. Coupled with dialogue of just giving up and succumbing to whatever was happening made the horror feel so much more real. I also like that a lot of the horror is implied and not explicitly showed. It allows the player to imagine something personally terrifying to them.
I loved the animation and sound design. Clearly a lot of love was put into this game. The mini games were a fun touch, although the final game went on a touch too long imo. The maze was a very unique mini game that was perfectly balanced, not super long or easy to the point it became boring, but not prohibitively difficult either. The prologue fake-out was clever and definitely had me confused for a sec there.
I appreciate that the endings felt pretty intuitive, if you just go through all the choices you'll get everything. And the true ending...oh boy. As someone who left an abusive relationship, it was so familiar. It really helped me reframe some of my experiences and, in some small part, helped me heal.
Thank you so much for your kind words! :D I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the game and its story, as well as the atmosphere of dread.
One of my favorite little things was changing the menu after getting a certain amount of endings. The cat's blank stare becoming an excited little grin, to show that it knows what it's doing and it's enjoying it -- the suffering it's putting the MC through. I always like seeing little touches like that in games and other media so I tried to place them throughout the game.
I'm glad you also liked the true ending and that it resonated with you and your experiences. I'm honored if it helped you feel even a little bit better.
Every now and then you find the indie game that you cannot stop talking about and that stays with you completely. The horror elements felt absolutely masterfully crafted I knew what I signed up for when I started playing the game but the hair on the back of my neck was on END when you're in the cinema and try to get home and everyone is just staring at you my god.
** the rest of this comment contains spoilers for people who haven't played the game yet **
This being a metaphor for abuse absolutely blew me away. I kept playing and playing every horrible end, in the beginning it felt like maybe the cat doesn't know maybe it's adjusting to our world and when it became clear the cat absolutely does know what its doing to you, I kept searching for redemption in it. Having been in a 5 year abusive relationship, the cyclical looking for positives only to be hurt again felt very fresh and raw and so incredibly captured in this format. I'm doing a creative writing degree, and I hope to keep this as an inspiration point for how story can be told and played with and how to properly understand your genre and tropes while still being unique and innovative.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I'm glad to hear that you liked the game and its story.
I wanted to show how much abuse can feel so encompassing that it becomes normal to be hurt or belittled and made to walk on eggshells; to feel so tired of feeling unloved that you just ignore all the bad things and make excuses. Treating your efforts to survive the toxicity like a game. It really is like a neverending cycle of trying to make fine wine out of poisonous sludge. Because things aren't always that bad, it's so much easier to stay trapped. More than anything I wanted people who've been through it or are still going through it to know that they're not alone and that there's hope on the other side.
I'm honored that this game could be an inspiration for you. I wish you good luck while your working toward your degree!
Nice art, very creative horror and it was such a blast to find all the ways this tiny defenseless creature could harm and terrorize us! Brilliant! And the way the game keeps track of some of your choices??? It was soo immersive! (chocolate, anyone?) I still get chills from it!
Even some of the "cheap jumpscares" endings were thematically cohesive, like the one where you choose to watch a bad horror movie, so you get one ingame!
The MC felt very humane, and the cat was both lovely and nightmare inducing haha. I was always on edge during the nicer moments, knowing it was just a matter of time until the cat decided to take things too far for my poor heart (T-T)
Got nothing but praises and to say that this was a very enjoyable VN and that the creator is very talented!!
Thank you so much! I wanted there to always be a little tension throughout the game, even in the parts where you and the cat are enjoying each others company >:D
I'm glad you enjoyed the game and its story. Thank you for playing!

When I tried to download it. It says that the download is forbidden.
Is the game really that f####d up that Google preventing me from playing it lmao 🤣
Like no joke
It made it even better
Just a reminder not to download a game that f####d up.
LMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣
That is so weird! I haven't heard of that yet X'D
Were you eventually able to download it?

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the game :D
Someone is currently working on a Spanish translation, so hopefully it will go through in time!

It's Faux-Friendly shaped! >:D
Thank you so much for playing till the end! I'm glad you enjoyed the game, its story, and the eldritch furball <3
This was a wonderful game to play and had such a meaningful ending
I'm glad you liked the game and its story! Thank you so much for playing!
This is the BEST novel game i've ever played
Thank you so much!
I saw Jay (Kubz scouts) play the FULL thing and I was OBSESSED. Finally found the game and imma play it on my own 😼
I hope you enjoy experiencing the game at your own pace! Thanks for giving it a try!
Justo estaba jugando es justo lo estaba es por jugar pero justo todavía estaban con plata
We should make "persist" a like small meme within the DNTTCH (Do Not Take This Cat Home) community?
That could be so cute! Or creepy, but secretly encouraging? Would definitely confuse anyone who hasn't played the game, so that'd be fun XD
How do you delete data
If you want to play again with a full reset, you'll have to delete ALL save/persistent data from TWO game files:
-- one in the folder where you installed the game
-- AND one in these platform-specific locations on your computer:
Look for the 'DoNOTTakeThisCatHome' folder and delete ALL save/persistent data in it
bast game eiver
Thank you!
why you cant get the cat? i love cats
I love cats too <3 There IS one ending where you can be with the cat..
F O R E V E R OwO

Translated from Google: Me gustaría ponerlo en Steam eventualmente, pero aún no está allí.
Just downloaded it tonight, and I already did a 100% play through in one sitting. Love the game! Really had to persist to get all the endings! >:3

Thank you so much for trying out the game! I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying it so far! :D
Also, I donated 3.58 USD! Not much, but I think it's enough to get you a candy at a gas station or something ;v;
That's very kind of you! Any and every donation is greatly appreciated! <3
This has been an amazing game, I have all but one ending, but is there a way to reset your progress and play from the beginning? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it didn't work. Thank you!!

That sounds really cool! I'll have to keep an eye out for it! I don't know anything about any controversy though. I barely interact online except for comments and questions. TTwTT

No sé a dónde está el mi comentario Hay un montón personas que te estaban hablando contigo
Translated from Google: ¡Lo siento! Es difícil encontrar comentarios específicos en itch.io.
Damn u were right i really shouldn't have taken that cat home
XD I told you!
Thanks so much for playing!
do you have to get to a certain spot to load your save?
You have to at least finish the prologue and get Ending 0 before getting access to save files.
i finished the game, got all the endings, but sadly, can't befriend cat, my friend shape, if dangrous :(
CAUTION! Too dangerous for friendship :(
Thank you so much for playing!
I LOVE THIS!! but could you make it playable on Browser🥺 I've really wanted to play this but can't cause I own a Chromebook, and can only playthings on here with browser. please make it playable on browser If you can.🥺
The game file is pretty large so it might affect quality and playability, but I might try it out and see how it goes. Hopefully it will work :D
thank you! and even if it doesn't work, i'm at least glad you tried and that's all that matters :)
again thank you! don't forget to take care of yourself! :>
Thank you so much for giving the try! :D Glad to see you liked it so far!

This cat reminds me of cartoon cat for no reason :-)
