itch.io

dont mind me... just playing the demo after finishing the full game..
edit: just finished. i loved seeing how the map has changed over time. i truly wish i found this game sooner

I have never played a game like this before. 
while searching the internet for a text-based game after losing interest in one I've been playing a while, Torn, i stumbled upon this. Although its not what i was looking for, i figured the characters look cute, i love cats, and it seems something my style. 
upon hopping into purrgatory and looking around the map, its as though it could be nearly endless and  seemingly impossible to piece together. by the end of the game i knew the layout of purrgatory like the back of my hand (yet i could never figure out a more convenient way to natalies.)
each character is given such a unique personality that fits the animal theyve been given and the mannerisms in their speech, as well as an intricately thought out life and death individually.
after finishing the game and crying when it was over, i realize i wasnt just incredibly happy i played, but that i was sad it was over. finishing the game felt like i was actually saying farewell to the characters, the home we made of purrgatory, and farewell to the conversations we had.
playing this game everyday after college for a week was genuinely the highlight of my day. I played again for a different ending, and then again for another. 
now here i am, making an account on itch.io despite the fact ive been using this browser forever and never made one.. all so i could tell you how much comfort and peace this game brought me. 
finishing this game made me sad i had truly done it all. and also in denial that i ever did; ill be playing one final time to search for any easter eggs i may have missed. (i know at least one i missed)

niv, this game is something to be proud of. the imagination, care, effort, and time put into this game is truly astounding. i felt like i got to know you as the creator as i learned about each character and as i explored around the map. thank you for the best week of college ive had in a while.
