i love it! its a really fun game, i really enjoyed it. i think i called the devil too early, the game said i saved 0 people, and i didnt even do anything with the snowglobes. so imma try it again :D. thanks for the amazing game, this is one of the best games i came across on this site, the story is nice and i love the characters a lot. ^^
edit: i love you for including pineapple pizza as an option for favorite food. :D
Thank you for creating such a wonderful game! The interactions with each of the characters were so wholesome. I especially loved hearing Sean's song during the credits as well. I will definitely be replaying this again in the future~
I keep coming back and playing this game cus it's so good?!?!?!!! It's fuzzy and also the way you included everyone in subtle ways like in the remembering scenes?!!!?! I love it????????!!!!! Also, can I make fanart of the characters? Sorry, I didn't ask you on any social media platforms, I didn't know where to find any link :o (also also in the trailer did you almost play megalovania on the cat piano or-) Anyways I really love this game its absolutely adorable, thank you for creating it!!
this is super cool!! i'm not done playing it yet but i appreciate the mix of male/female/enby love interests and there's a really cool plot and world to explore outside of just, like, a dating sim, so that's awesome. thanks, can't wait to finish it :)
ksdjkdsdsk i have now finished the game and realized that lol, it was still super fun!! i liked getting numa and kyungsoon together though haha. it was a really great game, i loved the ending and everything. i kept expecting it to get less good but it didn't, it kept being really good and possibly even getting better at some points :) thanks for the hard work again
kinda want to write fanfiction for it now, just like.. more storylines & lil interesting character moments for all of them. they were all super complex people and i think the world & lore u made was very cool as well
I love this game sm I'm only on the part where I'm inviting everyone to the everything slam and it's already a 10/10 but Kyungsoon saying "your mom" makes it even better
honestly the worst part about this is that it while it's a good few hours of content, it feels like it ends so soon :(, and I'm stuck hearing the music randomly day to day or thinking about the characters, I miss not knowing this game at all because it's just the wonder of opening and exploring the first time that felt so incredible
you went crazy with puns dude, and for that it's 9.99/10 wait, nvm, fly me to the meow makes up for that, 10/10
don't worry, i promise they're all okay! i plan to make more visual novels in the future (though with different characters), so don't worry about that :3
This game is incredible! I can't express how nice it felt to play, so calm, casual and relaxing yet making me care deeply about all the characters. The lgbtq representation was also like a cherry on top, it was like the perfect game for me. I had recently gotten broken up with, so more than a game it feelt like an experience too, being possibly the first thing that had given me true joy in a while. It left me sobbing too while the credits rolled around (purgatory blues has broken me). Purrgatory has given me a confindence boost to try and finally make a game, so thank you.
It's unfair how many people don't know about it, really. I'm looking foward to seeing any other projects you make (videogames or otherwise).
Okay so I'm gonna be honest, this is by far the BEST game I've played so far. I'm sad there isn't a fanbase for it, and was even surprised when there was BARELY even a fanbase. This game needs more love ( and yeah thanks for being an inspiration to learn code games
are you looking for the passcode to the meowseum? you should be able to find a clue on a piece of paper near the big hill in the park. then you may have to speak with elijah and sean :3
So I've been in a rut forever. 21 and got out of a highly abusive relationship a year ago, lost my apartment, had no job, no car, no anything. Now I'm picking up the pieces. New partner, finally bought a car, signed a lease for my own place, have an amazing job. It was just my mental health that was still on the verge of collapse. These are one of those stories that make you have a revelation. Each character taught me something great, and it really made me think about who I was. I know in reality it's just a little computer game, but it was honestly so touching to me that I feel like at the end of my life, everything will be alright. That maybe there is some "Heaven" waiting for me at the end of it all. I'm gonna start making life count. Do what makes me happy and not try to tally the accomplishments or failures. Life is a mindset, not a list. I learned a lot from this short journey and I want you to know this impacted me. Like a lot. The exact boost I was seeking. Please take care, and thank you. Truly mean it.
I made an account just to tell you how much I love this game. I found it through Bart Bonte's blog, and I am so glad that I did. I can tell already that this is going to be one of those games that sticks with me for the rest of my life and influences my worldview much like how Undertale did for me in the 8th grade. Thank you for making this; you have a real talent for creating and inspiring!
i love this game so much!! very fun and chill to play, everything is so cute n adorable and the characters are just so aaa i love them sm. oliver was my personal favorite ^^ anyways, definitely one of my favourite games 10/10
OKay, no, you don't understand. I made an account just so I could comment on this game. I started at 12:20 a.m. and stayed up for three hours playing the whole way through. i almost cried. this game took me on a rollercoaster i wasn't expecting, like HOLY SHIT. like i just. i'm super fucking tired and at a loss for words but. GODDAMN. this was absolutely brilliant and it's definitely one of my new favorites now!! i just loved all the characters and their stories and how everything just draws you in and ugh. okay imma sleep god i'm really tired but seriously. thanks so much for game, it was fantastic!!
*sees my home country named during that one convo with oliver* ah, so this is the best game in the universe. in all seriousness, this game was sooo touching and bittersweet and i loved it so so so much. thank u!!!! and purrgatory blues <333 im not very articulate so idk how to properly summarize my feelings for this game, but in a single word it was: beautiful!!!!!
Browser version seems to work just fine on android, however it doesn't bring up keyboard on name entry and doesn't allow continuing without name (and doesn't have default name as placeholder), so the game cannot be actually played from that point forward. Maybe with hardware keyboard, but can't find my OTG cable.
ah sorry about that! i never intended purrgatory to work on mobile - in fact i'm surprised it loaded at all. there is another section later on that requires arrow key input, so probably best to play on a computer =w=
this game was the absolute BEST! could you please make another one? maybe have the Devil make a mistake, and send someone who should be in hell, to heaven? and we would need to try to convince Satan/&/or/God
yeah, the web build is very finnicky... if it's stuck on the "loading..." screen, you might need to wait longer. if it's completely black, you might need to refresh a few times. or you could always try firefox?
I LOVED this. I played it all in one session, and it was absolutely worth it. I've actually been working on a mostly monochrome game where you go around talking to funny, squiggly animal people myself, so this was right up my alley. Of course, mine is nowhere near the level of quality of this. The characters and dialog have so much genuine emotion, I can't get enough of the art style, and on top of all of that, you even made your own music to go along with it perfectly. I don't usually leave reviews for things, but I just couldn't go without sharing my thoughts even if I'm just reaffirming what so many others have so already said. It's a truly inspirational game.

ur welcome, glad u enjoyed :3
I love this game! I made a fan character for it halfway through; let me know if you would like to see her!
yes i would love to see her!!!
One thing I forgot to put on here is that she enjoys randomly saying DSMP quotes to others and herself. The most common one is
"Have a carrot; please Calm yourself-"
yes a deer!! very cute :3
Thank you!
Thank you for creating such a wonderful game! The interactions with each of the characters were so wholesome. I especially loved hearing Sean's song during the credits as well. I will definitely be replaying this again in the future~

this is super cool!! i'm not done playing it yet but i appreciate the mix of male/female/enby love interests and there's a really cool plot and world to explore outside of just, like, a dating sim, so that's awesome. thanks, can't wait to finish it :)
u are welcome :) i hope you're not too excited for a dating sim though because you can't actually date anyone in purrgatory slfdkgj
ksdjkdsdsk i have now finished the game and realized that lol, it was still super fun!! i liked getting numa and kyungsoon together though haha. it was a really great game, i loved the ending and everything. i kept expecting it to get less good but it didn't, it kept being really good and possibly even getting better at some points :) thanks for the hard work again

wait, nvm, fly me to the meow makes up for that, 10/10
lol, ty! and sorry about the puns!
I love this game! Please do at least a similar one! or a simulation of them in heaven??? OR AT LEAST SAY THEY'RE OK
don't worry, i promise they're all okay! i plan to make more visual novels in the future (though with different characters), so don't worry about that :3
question, how do you dig the 14th hole for the owl (sorry idk what she is n' forgot her name). i cannot find a space for the 14th hole to dig it.
thanks so much!
you can find a complete list of hole locations in this post under "i can't find all the dig spots in the park!" :)

Also if you are interested in translating it into spanish I could help
ty for the kind comment, and good luck with making your game :)
you may be glad to know there is currently a spanish translation already in the works!
Yay!
I bet in a year Purrgatory will have a giant fanbase and have thousands of speedruns on Speedrun.com
i hope so!
what were the snow globes for? Also great game I really enjoyed it! :D
if you get all seven and use them in the right location u get a little easter egg! and ty!
Now that I had gotten to heaven, I got very bored. I now feel like if we die, we're gonna stay dead because it sucks living.
word
compile for linux please
sorry, i never made a linux build bc i don't have a linux machine to test and debug on. i'm afraid the web build is your only option ^^;
oh i could debug it for you!
i'm good but thanks 4 the offer!
I still dont know how to open the door...I'm just stupid...
which door? if you mean the door at the top of the spiral staircase, it's impossible to open!
The door when you first enter, with the dude and the cat?
to open that door, you need to get a book from oliver (the mouse) in the library, give it to kyungsoon (the hyena), then talk to oliver again :)
OHHH Ty! Im an idiot!
Okay so I'm gonna be honest, this is by far the BEST game I've played so far. I'm sad there isn't a fanbase for it, and was even surprised when there was BARELY even a fanbase. This game needs more love ( and yeah thanks for being an inspiration to learn code games

i found the meoseum but i am stuck
are you looking for the passcode to the meowseum? you should be able to find a clue on a piece of paper near the big hill in the park. then you may have to speak with elijah and sean :3

game not loading in Chrome

I really love all the characters. What a great point&click adventure ;;
