March 2025
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.

It's actually has a pretty cute story line and really worth it. The graphic is amazing, the music and the dialogue is great as well~ and most importantly, all of the cats are the cutest <3

I was expecting this to be hilariously bad but then it just ended up being legitimately hilarious and cute. Major disappointment that faded instantly as I saw Graves, the cafe owner. I have to say that the game isn't perfect. Parts feel a bit rushed and there are some minor errors in the writing, but they are few and far between. The cast of delightful characters more than makes up for it. The art style is lovely and I have to give props to Samm Neiland for the music. The romantic moments felt so cinematic partly because the music was top tier. If you like cats, cute people, cafes, or romance, give this game a try!

I am astounded that this game is $19.99 if not discounted. I got this game in the summer sale for $1.99 and for *that* price I am happy with the purchase because the game was pretty simple and cute, and I like games that I can complete in under 10 hours just for little treats during the week. The characters seem a little half baked, not fully developed but for having bought it for $2 I really don't mind that much. So if you just want a little quick romcom-like fix, I'll upvote for that.
