Great game with fantastic art and music! I really love that little cat protagonist! However I think maybe you can try to explain the story first because I found out the plot is not that easy to understand.

Very chill !

IndieQuest6 Oct 2020, 09:22

The jazzy music adds so much to the atmosphere, great entry, thank you!

Somebody doesn't like the chicken soup :D Wonderful delivery quest, a lot of pleasant and witty dialogues, graceful art style. Keep developing it! :thumbsup:

Loving the atmosphere! The game itself was pretty chill, I guess there's could be a more challenging vibe going on, and it's a bit hard to grasp what to do and why in the beginning. Else than that I think you've created something very good in this short amount of time!

Hey, what a nice narrative game you have here!

Like the melancholic mood of it, and the amount of characters introduced as well!
Everyone's suddenly going away feels depressing, but I guess, that's the idea?

Felt like a lot of items aren't actually useful, and the black cat didn't get to sell me anything even though I got catnip a couple of times already. Some characters could share a deeper connection to the player, too.

Made it to the end, leaving the cage.
Are there more than one possible ending, by the way?
Nevertheless, good to see a story-driven game here, well done!

Really cool game and really nice cats. Also I think it would be nice to have a description of the items that reminds you who wants this item, but otherwise it seems like a finished game.

Cool idea for a loop game! Love the graphics!

Rysae6 Oct 2020, 09:41

The characters' personality are quite interesting, I wish the game last a little longer

Tamail6 Oct 2020, 09:48

This was such a chill game! Doing the stuff in the train was kind of satisfying, mostly cleaning the webs for whatever reason. :D Beautiful art and the soothing music were great additions!

The art is great! This game reminds me of Night in the Woods, but a much more chill vibe.

Lovely game, very good at setting the mood of a monotonous day to day life. Pleasantly surprised at the depth of the characters and what was going on in their lives, and was genuinely saddened when everything fell apart. The game ended kind of suddenly without a lot of explanation, but the open-ended nature of it added nicely to the surreal, melancholic vibe the whole thing gives off. Very nice chill music, and the train section between each town added something special that I can't quite place my finger on.

Jetyh6 Oct 2020, 10:27

Nice approach to the theme with a surprisingly deep and melancholic narrative.

Nakami6 Oct 2020, 10:33

Love the art, it's kinda disturbing and sad when people start to disappear, but love the end screen :)

MiraKazumi6 Oct 2020, 17:26

love the art! its really cute and fairy tail-like however i suggest to resign using black graijn as gradient/shadows bc it looks a bit messy (on backg wndows):) but its great story-based game!

Delender11006 Oct 2020, 17:34

I love it! It was really sad but I think I got the bad ending... Still an incredible game!

SaraFilipa6 Oct 2020, 17:55

Very polished game with a charming atmosphere. Fantastic art & sound design. Thoroughly enjoyed it. :)

Tom Kun6 Oct 2020, 20:50

Good job for this game. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous and the story is engaging.

H_Moon11 Oct 2020, 09:17

Nice feeling, good job!

A very beautiful piece of a game. I love the drawing-style graphics and all the cats hanging around, doing on their own. Audio is very pleasing to hear as well. The story is well narrated, even though the gameplay is very simple. Multiple choices makes you think about others. Unfortunately, I got stuck on the train because I couldn't place a new item after 5th day / loop (I think?). Wish there was a better objective or quest log. Job well done!
