Oh wow. This feels like a beautiful shell you found at the beach as a kid and just kinda want to hold to your ear sometimes. I adore your art and symbolism and cat-sounds and your writing. This one sentence at the start ("It turns out that death wears...") is just so evocative and neat, I can't even really describe it.

Honestly, at first I wasn't sure if you could convince Jane (also ig I was just dumb xD) so I got an ending that made me want to go again - and so I did. After a third try I figure I got the 'best' ending. Bitter-sweet and beautiful (:

(Also makes me want to try making a point & click style game :D)

Thank you so much! I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed it, and I'm also glad to hear that someone played through all three endings!! And yes you should definitely make a point and click style game! I look forward to it if you do.

Really enjoyed the art! The story seems to have had a lot of thought put into too - do you have anything that inspired this kind of story/world in particular?

There was a manga idea I had when I was younger that had this title so we used this title. Originally we thought about them being cat boys that died and having 9 chances since cats had nine lives, and then we expanded from there.

Oooooh, the art is beautiful and I loved the over-all atmosphere. Not quite through with the game, but the idea seems nicely melancholic and profound! (Music fits very well too. Love me some calm music.) Might be my favourite so far! The idea with the rings on a string too...

...thanks for making me cry I guess? :') That was really beautiful! Heart-wrenching and beautiful!

That's a high compliment! I'm glad it was impactful, and that you enjoyed the story and the music!!
