oh no... I played the whole game thinking the sound design was really quirky when it was just bugged... i didn't realize until I finished and scrolled down to read comments bc that fixed it for some reason??? oh my gosh!! I guess it just goes to show how much I enjoyed this game to think that the choppy music and sounds were just apart of it! But now I have to replay sooner than I thought because the music is so NICE!!!! This game was amazing, I really really loved it. Amazing job, thank you so much.
haven't finished the game yet but just wanted to say that i went to the seattle museum of pop culture recently and they had an indie game exhibit and this game was on display! you probably already know this but just wanted to say congrats, thats such a huge accomplishment oh my god. i recognized it since i started the game a few months ago and i was so excited to see it being displayed so it can finally get the recognition it deserves.
I had an absolute blast playing this! I maybe didn't have to do it instead of sleeping the night before two tests. But I had a blast nonetheless! This game is now an important part of who I am as a person. There's so many dialogue options too! I might just replay the game so I can see them all X3 lol i did play through twice cause I got confused the first time and went to heaven all alone like an idiot ^ -^ I would. I would like to pet Lucifur. I think that would be nice.
yeah ok excuse me whilst i go sob in the corner; i loved this so, SO much.
Peak fiction

great experience. it will take me at least a week to digest this. muito obrigado pela experiencia
GREAT GAME
BEST GAME ON ITCH EVERRRR I GO BACK TO THIS GAME EVERY YEARR !!!!! LOVE !!! <
Awesome. Very solid. Guessing that the library passkey (1234) on the first try was a highlight - went and loaded the previous save to make sure I wasn't being pranked.... I'm just a genius like that ig.
10/10 but wish I coulda brought the 'kitty' to heaven too (and chatted to Oliver more)
This is the best game I've played in a long time. It evokes so many colorful emotions and real attachments to the characters. Hearing the reprise of "Purrgatory Blues" at the end made me cry. Thank you so much for this experience! I will be thinking of this for a long time.
I was just searching for any good point and click games on itch and found this game. At first, it didn't seem to click with me, but after playing this late at night yesterday, I was enamored. the characters, the choices, how super interactive it is, is so amazing. I like how simple everything is, but how deep the story is for each character. Especially Oliver and Natalie, they were definitely my favorites by how much I resonated with their stories!! Amazing, truly is.
I noticed that on the phone you can dial nine one one and there's actually an answer! :33
me, too! that was fun. i immediately tried to dial my own phone number lol. nothing happened of course but it would have been neat if something had
There's actually another two easter eggs in the options menu: the head of each character will appear once you've met them, and when you've helped them, they will turn their respective colours! There's also text size preview dialogue for each character:
Kyungsoon: Hmmm, that's an options menu.
Oliver: To meow or not to meow, that is the questsion.
Numa: HEY! Change the font size right now! I mean... if you want.
Tori: What are you doing fiddling with the settings? there's a game to play!
Natalie: Zzz.. huh? Where am i?
Elijah: 'Tis better to have meowed and lost than never to have meowed at al
Sean: What's a nice player like you doing in a menu like this? (;
is there any more easter eggs i'm missing?
This game was so good. You should make more games like this please
Damn! What a great game! Awesome
Ohhh this game is making me emotional
I just got done replaying this masterpiece of a game again, and I loved it so much it's unreal. The story and character development of this game is astounding and like no other. The hidden secrets like the snowglobes make it all the better. Hearing "Purrgatory Blues" play again about nearly brought me to tears. This will always be one of my most favorite games of all time for as long as I live. Thank you for making this amazing heartfelt game, truly. I just wish I could read "Nocturnal". Once again thank you Niv.
Honestly my favorite game! My only complaint It's not available in Mac OS, and I got a new computer (it's new to me but by no means NEW) and I can no longer play it... hurts a little. I would literally play this over and over and over until purrgatory claims me too.
GATO!!!!
not bad for me ...
