amazing amazing game. i felt so sad to leave the purrgatory just because everyone there was so sweet and had such inspiring stories. 10/10 game and the true ending is SO worth it.
Oh, my heart. Such a lovable cast of characters! I especially love Natalie -- as a webcomic artist, I deeply relate to her. :')
OH MY GOD THAT WAS ACTUALLY THE MOST EMOTIONAL AND SWEETEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS SO GOODDDD!!!!!!!! i got everyone through and i was so happyyyy!!!! but tbh it was kinda sad leaving purrgatory and all its memories, but i'm glad that they get to see their loved ones again!! eeeeee!! just one question, at the end when i say yes to going through the gates of heaven, do all my friends come with me?
This is such a great game! there's so much thought and effort put into it! I love the humor and the characters, and also the map of purgatory- which is really fun because it's so big! Also purgatory blues is a good song ;3
Wow, never knew this simple looking game could make me feel so much emotions. The surprise at the end was awsome. Love everything about it.
puurrrrrrrrfect
My wall, lol
hey niv, hey niv, hey niv,
can you please add an on screen keyboard to sign your name on mobile?
afaik it's the only thing stopping it from being mobile friendly, so, please.
please.
I never cried this much during a game oh my god ITS SO PEAK I CANT I CANT
This game was amazing! I loved the story, the puzzles, the game time, the art both the simple style in the beginning and the full on painting style in the end- I genuinely have never played a free game this good! The characters were amazing and I absolutely LOVED the constant puns. Overall this game was purrfect and all the devs should be purroud!
OMG I FRICKIN LOVED THIS GAME I WANTED IT TO BE LONGER UGHHHHHH AND THE CHARACTERS? LOVE EM! OLIVER IS A CUTIE, NATALIE AND TORI ARE SO FUNNY, SEAN IS SASSY, NUMA IS WEIRD WHICH I LOVE, KYUNGSOO IS ALSO WEIRD BUT SHES NICE TOO, ELIJAH IS SO SWEET AND I LOVE THAT HE WRITES POEMS I DO ALSO WRITE SOME AS A HOBBY. DID GET LOST A LOT? YES BUT I LOVED THE BACKGROUND, THE MUSIC AND ALL JUST WISH I CHANGED MY QUESTION TO LUCIFUR ALSO POOR CAT I DID FIND HIM RUDE LIKE THEY DID? SURE BUT HE JUST NEEDS FRIENDS
incredible
so.. this game is really great, it has been a while that i giggles and shi while playing a game. the interactions are all SO funny and interesting but i kinda got lost in the place :) thank you for making this game.
I love every single one of them with all my heart, even lucifur. (he just a lonely very evil boy :3 )
IM NOT CRYING! UR CRYING!!
but fr this game is so PURR-fect it it by far one of my favorites <33333 my cat meowed every time Kyungsoon came on screen >:3333333333 its supper flippin' cute dude
man... how can i stay in purrgatory in the ending??
played this game for the first time like 3 years ago and it still holds a special place in my heart. got my little sister to play it too and shes loving it. Thanks for making this game :)
i indeed loved i
these characters are so endearing! loved playing this game,, might've cried a lil at the ending <3
The ending is peak. Beautiful. 15/7. Genuinely got me thinking about some real stuff. This will probably alter the course of my life in some way. Positively.
i finally finished with getting everyone across and that is SUCH a beautiful ending and game experience holy crap
Someone PLEASE tell me what the snowglobes were for (if anything)
and was I meant to get all the memories or purposely not have enough?
game was awesome though I called lucifur too early my first playthrough and got to actually experience everything on my second
snowglobes aren't important for main game, but you can put them on that weird thing at the bottom of the escalator that only goes up (you need 7)
same here
sorry oliver
i made my name "sean" on my save no-one playthrough, 10/10 "no, the other sean" execution
what's the screwdriver for </3
for the vent?
you're my goat actually i couldn't figure out how to get those two into heaven
just finished my first playthrough!! i saved elijah and sean - they were my favorite characters, so that shouldn't be too much of a surprise. i was highkey sad when i lost my two faves before realizing there's multiple endings
i'm up to 5!! i missed numa and kyungsoon </3 i really thought i had kyungsoon, too
this game is so so so good!! :D all the characters are amazing and all the puns put a big dumb smile on my face
i NEED oliver expeditiously...
I love the game <3 I was able to save them all and I had a lot of fun. It was also very deep and the drawings and characters were amazing. <3
anyone knows if its possible to call lucifur?
i alr tried this number alot (also 666 and 555666)
you gotta find his business card
ik i have it already
the letters in the phone number correspond to numbers
ohh got it thanks
CRASHING OUT RNNNN I COMPLETED EVERYONES STORY AND DID ALL THE TASKS AND OLIVER TOLD ME ABOUT THE BOOKMARK BUT ITS NOT IN MY INVENTORY AND THE PHONE DOESN'T LET ME CALL LUCIFUR AGHHHHGDJAJSLSVFKSK
I love this game tho so cuteeeee
this is nice
I saved no one, how purfect! Having to share heaven would be a catastrophe.
rah this game is so cute and good !! played it twice to get the good ending and it was so worth. ending credits and music was so good. great work!
is it bad that a lot of this game made me tear up? ;-;
I LOVED THIS GAME SO MUCH! The story and the characters... I got atatched to them ngl, definetly gonna play this again!! Also I got both true and worst ending. (also now I want to read natalie's webcomic) (also named my love interest inosuke lol)
In brief awesome game.
Yay, I got the worst ending!
(I also got the true ending earlier; this was just to see.)
Cool little reference to, I'm pretty sure, wayneradio, right?
My character's name was Speegle Grungus
WHERE do i find Natalie :(
nevermind! found her!
OMG THIS WAS THE BEST GAME EVER
end song was totally worth it!!!
replayed it,
got "true" ending.
oliver was the hardest
AHHHHH this game was amazing i like the plot and the sounds!! AND nobody talks about this game anymore🥲
graaah this game!!! there was so much I loved about it but the soundtrack especially?? oboe and bassoon are my favorite instruments and it was so cool to hear them in a game soundtrack omg
