Really cool game! I had fun playing it. Here is some of my feedback:

  • The assigning of roles felt a bit disconnected from the dialogue gameplay. It felt like there was a purrfect or an optimal way to play (just picking the cat with the highest skill for each task). Maybe ceryail choices could influence skill per day etc. (Ofc. I understand it´s a limited scope)
  • I really liked the different dialogue choices and how the cats reacted to them. I also liked that it influenced the mood of the cats so they had some gameplay significance.
  • The different personalities and relation ships :) between the cats were really fun!
  • The fact that you could name your own cat was a nice touch.
