Im stuck at the part where the lights are out what do I do

you go to natalie's place and get a candle. hope this helps!!!

I love this game so much, I played it at least a year ago and I still think about it frequently. I love the atmosphere and making friends with the characters, and sometimes I really wish I could spend some time there to relax.

This was such a gem, oh my meow. The good ending was so amazing, I loved the song at the end, and am now in desperate need to have it on spotify. The Cat-racters were all so well thought through, I loved all of them. 


Also, this might just be me, but the only reason I got the bad ending, was because I was too busy trying to please everyone without pushing. I was worried if i did something wrong, I wouldn't be able to help them in any way, but I guess that just puts everything into perspective. 

"Just because you think it's right, doesn't mean it is."


And so, that concludes. This was a hell of a roller-coaster from purrgatory, all the way to heaven.

Does anyone know of games similar to this or the creator's other work? i freaking love this game so much. I played it during school and my friends kept getting mad at me because I was so preoccupied with playing it. literally would devote my life to this game if it had part 2.

I have never played a game like this before. 
while searching the internet for a text-based game after losing interest in one I've been playing a while, Torn, i stumbled upon this. Although its not what i was looking for, i figured the characters look cute, i love cats, and it seems something my style. 
upon hopping into purrgatory and looking around the map, its as though it could be nearly endless and  seemingly impossible to piece together. by the end of the game i knew the layout of purrgatory like the back of my hand (yet i could never figure out a more convenient way to natalies.)
each character is given such a unique personality that fits the animal theyve been given and the mannerisms in their speech, as well as an intricately thought out life and death individually.
after finishing the game and crying when it was over, i realize i wasnt just incredibly happy i played, but that i was sad it was over. finishing the game felt like i was actually saying farewell to the characters, the home we made of purrgatory, and farewell to the conversations we had.
playing this game everyday after college for a week was genuinely the highlight of my day. I played again for a different ending, and then again for another. 
now here i am, making an account on itch.io despite the fact ive been using this browser forever and never made one.. all so i could tell you how much comfort and peace this game brought me. 
finishing this game made me sad i had truly done it all. and also in denial that i ever did; ill be playing one final time to search for any easter eggs i may have missed. (i know at least one i missed)

niv, this game is something to be proud of. the imagination, care, effort, and time put into this game is truly astounding. i felt like i got to know you as the creator as i learned about each character and as i explored around the map. thank you for the best week of college ive had in a while.

I found out about this game while scrolling on itch a while back probably more than 6 months but anyway I played it and needless to say I fell in love. The endless puns, the love for cats, the uncolored background and characters (the uncoloredness really made me feel as if nothing really mattered in like the best way possible though idk how to explain it) and the whole storyline just really tied in all together and every time I revisit itch.io I always stop to play a bit of this game. I love this game and everyone who helped make it!

(+1)

love the story!

(+1)

I played this game when it first released on steam a while ago now and I fell in love with it.

A few years later and I visited Seattle over the summer. Low and behold, THIS GAME was on display at the Museum of Pop Culture!!! I was so surprised to see it there but it made me so nostalgic... Thank you for this game and by extension, that experience :3

I love that this game has multiple endings and I got probably the worst one  but I love this game so much

(+1)

Idk if this is a bug or on purpose lol
