In this path, the story is focused on the cat, Kad. He\u2019s a super shy cat who transforms into his human form quickly due to feeling embarrassed by Clena\u2019s actions. I\u2019ve been waiting for the release of this game for a while now. I\u2019ve been looking forward to Zeiva\u2019s Dragon Essence for years now, but this game was announced and I thought it sounded like something I\u2019d love to play in the meantime. When I first heard about, I thought it sounded cute and fun. And that is what this is. A cute, fun, lighthearted game. It doesn\u2019t have a deep story or anything of the sort. Clena has one mission set by a character and the rest of the story is just moments that happened throughout the year. It felt very episodic in that way. Still, it was funny and an enjoyable read. The artwork was gorgeous as well.I\u2019ve been playing Zeiva\u2019s games for years now since they released their older flash games on deviantart and I\u2019ve always thought they were enjoyable and quirky. This one\u2019s no exception. I do, however, have a recommendation for them\u2014switch the engine from flash. Flash is kind of a dying breed nowadays and it\u2019s not very secure. I recommend switching to a VN engine like Renpy or Tyrano Builder or if they don\u2019t want to go for those, HTML5 is a choice. It\u2019ll also make implementing Steam features more easily, since the game doesn\u2019t have Steam overlay which sucks because I would have loved to share some funny screenshots I took of my favorite character\u2014the snail. It would have been nice to have the in-game achievements implemented onto steam as well. It\u2019s those extra things that make everything even nicer. I also would have liked the game to have a widescreen option. I couldn\u2019t play it on full screen on my PC. When I tried, the screen would go completely black. It never showed up properly, so I had to play it windowed the entire time.Leaving those things aside, I do recommend the game. I think it\u2019s cute, fun and perfect to play when you want a shorter game that doesn\u2019t get exhausting. I\u2019m looking forward to more paths, and I would really love a snail path!. I love this game <3. I love this game <3. I really like this game! It was super cute! I seriously can't wait to play the other paths. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes sweet, cute otome games and cats too.. I loved the game, so cute! Lovable characters and humorous, engaging dialogue. Definitely recommend playing it. Only issue is I have no idea how to unlock the other love story paths aside from Cat's path, or maybe they yet to be resleased.. Great game really did love playing it.. It's absolutely adorable and funny. I'm waiting for the other routes to come out and i hope they hurry up, because i'm really curious how they will turn out.. Suffice to say, the reviewer stating "you're paying for the art and story, not gameplay" was right, although I personally would amend it to "paying for the ART, not the gameplay OR the story". This circus-themed, angstless pseudo-Fruits Basket-type situation excited little attachment to the characters, who all seem to have the emotional depth of feebly drying puddles. "What exactly is going on?" I asked myself as I clicked my way through the "comedic" yet unmemorable choices, and some vague, tortured attempts at story and romance with this spineless wibbling cat. "WHAT IS GOING ON" I whispered-screamed when confronted with the anime-eyed giant snail(???), the rivet-browed broccoli afro chef character and that **GROOVY** pig. At one point I accidentally dozed off and left the game running (playtime is inaccurate), so that ended up kinda sealing the deal for me.I feel somewhat bad that this review comes off fairly negative, since it seems like other reviewers here enjoyed it, and part of me argues that I didn't give it as much of a chance as I could have - having dozed off, and all. Still, I really couldn't bring myself to finish the game. The only decently positive value IMHO was the art, which varies from cute (monkey and humans) to WTFery (aforementioned giant snail comes to mind). Granted, the art may be alluring enough to convince random passerby that the game is worth a look, but for me I could not have regretted it more when it came to actually playing the game beneath the attractive packaging.TL;DR version: Story is cheerily bland, gameplay is unexciting, art is cute enough in most cases, humor\/romance\/characterization are not exactly lacking but a little dissatisfying. Best to try it on sale, if at all.EDIT: I should add, if your expectations are pretty low and you just want to revel in the art and whatever passes for humor\/romance, this game might still be for you.
