Hustle cat is everything I'd want in a dating sim. Not hard to play, cute stories, visuals, amazing music, and cats as a bonus. I bought this game years ago and finally played through it and it did not disappoint. I wish it was longer, the characters and the stories were very pleasant. It's a shame not more people have enjoyed this game truly. My order recomendation: 1. Finley 2. Hayes 3. Mason 4. Landry 5. Reese 6. Graves

I really like the way MC is written LOL They're so unserious and their dynamic with everyone feels so natural. I like that the routes are also pretty straightforward yet enjoyable. My personal favorites are Hayes and the secret route :) I will say it gets pretty tiring to fast forward/skip through the common script in each route.

Super cute game. Love the art and the premise and the cats. I did LOL a few times at the humorous writing. I did have to restart my game halfway through, because it forcibly decided my love interest for me, based on whom I'd been friendliest with (?). Apparently being platonically friendly with home girl was a no-no if I don't swing that way (which I don't). So I restarted and was RUDE to her, and all went swimmingly from there.

This game has been on my backlog since Dexbonus started playing it about 8 years ago (yes I'm that behind), and having finally completed it over the course of 3 days, all I can say is WOW. For a generally pretty quick game, I was absolutely hooked. The plot was easy to follow but still held enough of my interest to keep me going, but what truly shines is the characters. For short snippets, you get a really clear picture of who each individual love interest is, who Avery is, and why and how they end up working out together. Each character feels believable and real, and there's a lot of genuine chemistry between everyone. Even routes that weren't my favorite just for taste reasons (sorry, Landry) were enjoyable and fun to play through, and I felt invested in each individual storyline as I played. The creators knew who their audiences were for each route, but did a good job making each story compelling and touching. Plus, we love to see non-binary rep, access to all romance routes regardless of gender, AND some skintone variation. A really good game to grab if you need something uplifting, heartwarming, and a little whimsical at this point in time. And cats!!!

I played it on my Steam Deck. It shows as Unsupported for the Deck and if you try to start the game you will get a black screen with only the audio, so go to Properties - Compatibility - Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool and choose Proton 3.16-9. Make sure to save a lot, as sometimes the game will crash. It´s a very cute game, although on the shorter side. The price is very fair, so I def recommend it if you´re looking for a sweet, fun, relaxing VN.
