The art is incredible! Some of the best art in the whole competition. It was hard to decide what to do at each turn, I ended up becoming not very good at anything, quite toxic, and then I was eaten. 

Developer

Oh no... I'm sorry, that it was hard to choose. I have to admit, that the game is quite in favor if you focus only on one thing and you don't get many good endings as a jack of all trades, which is sad. Will consider that for a next game in this style  
But I'm glad, that you liked the art! :)

I died :c

Loved the art! It's really cute!

Oh no, another death (why am I surprised? I did writ that thing...)
But I'm glad you liked the art :)

I loved it! A great sequel to "The Ingredient"! The good endings were very good and sweet, especially the one where we befriend the alchimera. I felt sad for the alchimera. At least they have a friend now tho <3

Thank your your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

This is a very nice story with really sweet art and it's about a powerful magical cat, what else do you need :3
I liked it!

Btw, I've noticed that little Yawhg reference but funny that a good ending doesn't really require stats – you need knowledge.

Enjoyable little tale, the writing is well paced and the art is appealing. Kind of reminded me a The Yawhg, but much smaller to fit into a jam. Some audio, like music and sound effects, would have really helped this game be a world you can fall into. 

Developer

Thanks for your kind feedback :) 

I love the Yawgh and games in this kind of style. So it has inspired me without doubt. I hope, that one day, I can invest more time and love into a longer and more consisted game  in this tradition. 

I agree on the sound/music and would have loved to compose something for it. Unfortunately I ran totally out of time for it

Absolutely loved the art!

Very unique story as well.

Developer

Thanks for playing and your comment!

Your art style makes me think of shadow puppets, it's so evocative and perfect for this kind of gothic scary story. And I'm always excited to see text games take on RPG systems. Plus adorable cats. Gotta love the adorable cats. :)

This was a very nice story, about a kitty trying his best to solve a situation they had nothing to do with. I really liked it, the idea, the execution, the art! It was all great! <3 I loved it.

One piece of advice, at least from me, is to let go a bit of the commas. I don't know why but sometimes the phrases felt a bit stuttery at the start. But maybe it is just me!

Thanks for your nice descrption and feedback :)
And yes, it's not just you. I'm quite sure, that I often use a butchered coma rule version of my native language in English and its a good advice to up my game here

Very enjoyable game with pretty artwork!

 I don't really know what the stats meant, but in the end I managed to convince the alchimera to take care of the sewers and the town celebrated me as hero! Neat! :)

Thanks for your feedback :)
I have to admit, that I had to cut down a lot of what the stats would have meant and in the story line you chose, they play (almost?) no role. If I ever touch the game again, I make them either invisible or make them matter in in a more recognizable way.
