holy shit man this was a masterpiece. i very much enjoyed all the puns >:) but holy moly this was such a well written game !!! an afternoon was well spent playing this :):):)
I just finished the game and holy shit, I feel so emotional and I hate it. Thank you for making this game. I really REALLY relate to Natalie so she ended up being my favorite character. Generally a well written game and very interesting characters.
I love this game a lot. It's actually favorite game despite the absolute rage I've felt playing it. I just love it so much. I honestly can't even express my undying love for this game. I want to say thank you for making it because it made me honestly cry. I love it so much.
i work a boring customer service job so i'm always looking for new games with interesting stories to kill time. this one was awesome! i was impressed by the versatility of art styles (the main one, the end one, and the poetry/writing was also very nice!)
i'm curious, was kyungsoon meant to be a trans character? at one point she mentions being the perfect son to her parents or something so i was curious about that. also as someone who almost died from alcohol poisoning myself i was fascinated by the dark reveal of her cause of death, she was my favorite character. really unique and entertaining game and loved the lgbt representation
absolutely incredible game, my girlfriend and I just binged it and we loved it! she's actually shedding tears over that ending, and I don't blame her. tysm for the game (especially the puns)
tear shredding girlfriend here: gosh, I cannot say how much I am in love with this game. I've never been good at any kind of game, therefore the only games I ever really play are the ones he^ makes me play (cough cough, Minecraft) but I played Purrgatory at MOPOP in Seattle, and immediately knew I had to play it. I've read through several comments, so I know you don't need to be told all again about the amazing character development or phenomenal intrigue and pull into the game— but what really pulled it together for me, what really made me sob after finishing the game— *SPOILER FOR ANYONE STILL PLAYING* was all the great representation. The line in heaven that Sean says, about his neighbor back when he was with Dani, and proving him wrong brought me to tears. Like, that all these characters who aren't straight, cis, or flawless, still get to go to heaven really meant a lot to me, and I'm sure to everyone else who also is on the LGBTQ+ spectrum. I do have just a clarification question though— when Natalie was talking about Nocturnal being "the closest thing she'd ever get to a baby", is this because she is either aromantic or asexual? Were there any other conversations I missed with her that might say anything else about that, if so? Over the past few years, I've tried looking high and low for some good asexual representation, and that really warmed my heart— even if it wasn't the intended purpose. Anyways— I know this comment is way too long, but thank you thank you THANK YOU for this game. And the amazing song "Purrgatory Blues", I've been listening to it nonstop since I heard it in the credits. (I still tear up if I think too hard when listening to it)
i was expecting to play a short game while i was bored one afternoon, but i was gladly surprised when it kept going! this game is the absolute cutest and i absolutely love how all of the characters were written!! also, is the more to the snowglobes than the secret room?
genuinely one of the best and softest games I've played in a long time, it was so much fun to explore the purrgatory and learn all of the characters' stories. I will 100% be telling everyone I know about this game ^^
yeah, I started on chrome, which was the WebGL thing, just tried it on safari and the page freezes when it gets to the loading screen. i'm unfortunately not on windows, but I really want to play this game because i love cats and puns. i really apologize for bothering on new year's!
no worries! i'm sorry ur having these issues -- i haven't heard of it before, but based on a quick google search it sounds like there might be a number of causes. chrome SHOULD work, so i hope you manage to troubleshoot it.
There were enough cat puns to make felinekind proud the design were sweet The characters were good and well written And it was all quite feel good overall. Loved the game, thanks for making it! ^^
I- sfdajksafjsl I waSN'T SUPPOSED TO GET ATTACHED TO THE CHARACTERS ;w; Everyone's such smol precious beans plssssss my heart- This is so goooooood <333333
i love it! its a really fun game, i really enjoyed it. i think i called the devil too early, the game said i saved 0 people, and i didnt even do anything with the snowglobes. so imma try it again :D. thanks for the amazing game, this is one of the best games i came across on this site, the story is nice and i love the characters a lot. ^^
edit: i love you for including pineapple pizza as an option for favorite food. :D
Thank you for creating such a wonderful game! The interactions with each of the characters were so wholesome. I especially loved hearing Sean's song during the credits as well. I will definitely be replaying this again in the future~
I keep coming back and playing this game cus it's so good?!?!?!!! It's fuzzy and also the way you included everyone in subtle ways like in the remembering scenes?!!!?! I love it????????!!!!! Also, can I make fanart of the characters? Sorry, I didn't ask you on any social media platforms, I didn't know where to find any link :o (also also in the trailer did you almost play megalovania on the cat piano or-) Anyways I really love this game its absolutely adorable, thank you for creating it!!
this is super cool!! i'm not done playing it yet but i appreciate the mix of male/female/enby love interests and there's a really cool plot and world to explore outside of just, like, a dating sim, so that's awesome. thanks, can't wait to finish it :)
ksdjkdsdsk i have now finished the game and realized that lol, it was still super fun!! i liked getting numa and kyungsoon together though haha. it was a really great game, i loved the ending and everything. i kept expecting it to get less good but it didn't, it kept being really good and possibly even getting better at some points :) thanks for the hard work again
kinda want to write fanfiction for it now, just like.. more storylines & lil interesting character moments for all of them. they were all super complex people and i think the world & lore u made was very cool as well
I love this game sm I'm only on the part where I'm inviting everyone to the everything slam and it's already a 10/10 but Kyungsoon saying "your mom" makes it even better
honestly the worst part about this is that it while it's a good few hours of content, it feels like it ends so soon :(, and I'm stuck hearing the music randomly day to day or thinking about the characters, I miss not knowing this game at all because it's just the wonder of opening and exploring the first time that felt so incredible
you went crazy with puns dude, and for that it's 9.99/10 wait, nvm, fly me to the meow makes up for that, 10/10
don't worry, i promise they're all okay! i plan to make more visual novels in the future (though with different characters), so don't worry about that :3
This game is incredible! I can't express how nice it felt to play, so calm, casual and relaxing yet making me care deeply about all the characters. The lgbtq representation was also like a cherry on top, it was like the perfect game for me. I had recently gotten broken up with, so more than a game it feelt like an experience too, being possibly the first thing that had given me true joy in a while. It left me sobbing too while the credits rolled around (purgatory blues has broken me). Purrgatory has given me a confindence boost to try and finally make a game, so thank you.
It's unfair how many people don't know about it, really. I'm looking foward to seeing any other projects you make (videogames or otherwise).
Okay so I'm gonna be honest, this is by far the BEST game I've played so far. I'm sad there isn't a fanbase for it, and was even surprised when there was BARELY even a fanbase. This game needs more love ( and yeah thanks for being an inspiration to learn code games
are you looking for the passcode to the meowseum? you should be able to find a clue on a piece of paper near the big hill in the park. then you may have to speak with elijah and sean :3

i work a boring customer service job so i'm always looking for new games with interesting stories to kill time. this one was awesome! i was impressed by the versatility of art styles (the main one, the end one, and the poetry/writing was also very nice!)

thank you so much for making such a beautiful game! ^-^
ty for the kind words ^^
I keep trying to open the game. All I get is a text that says "WebGL not available". I've closed the browser, I've reloaded, nothing is working.
that's not good! have you tried using a different browser? if you're on windows, you could also try the downloadable version.
yeah, I started on chrome, which was the WebGL thing, just tried it on safari and the page freezes when it gets to the loading screen. i'm unfortunately not on windows, but I really want to play this game because i love cats and puns. i really apologize for bothering on new year's!

ur welcome, glad u enjoyed :3
I love this game! I made a fan character for it halfway through; let me know if you would like to see her!
yes i would love to see her!!!
One thing I forgot to put on here is that she enjoys randomly saying DSMP quotes to others and herself. The most common one is
"Have a carrot; please Calm yourself-"
yes a deer!! very cute :3
Thank you!
Thank you for creating such a wonderful game! The interactions with each of the characters were so wholesome. I especially loved hearing Sean's song during the credits as well. I will definitely be replaying this again in the future~

ksdjkdsdsk i have now finished the game and realized that lol, it was still super fun!! i liked getting numa and kyungsoon together though haha. it was a really great game, i loved the ending and everything. i kept expecting it to get less good but it didn't, it kept being really good and possibly even getting better at some points :) thanks for the hard work again

don't worry, i promise they're all okay! i plan to make more visual novels in the future (though with different characters), so don't worry about that :3
question, how do you dig the 14th hole for the owl (sorry idk what she is n' forgot her name). i cannot find a space for the 14th hole to dig it.
thanks so much!
you can find a complete list of hole locations in this post under "i can't find all the dig spots in the park!" :)

Thankyou so much!!! love the game btw :D

Also if you are interested in translating it into spanish I could help
ty for the kind comment, and good luck with making your game :)
you may be glad to know there is currently a spanish translation already in the works!
Yay!
I bet in a year Purrgatory will have a giant fanbase and have thousands of speedruns on Speedrun.com
i hope so!
what were the snow globes for? Also great game I really enjoyed it! :D
if you get all seven and use them in the right location u get a little easter egg! and ty!
Now that I had gotten to heaven, I got very bored. I now feel like if we die, we're gonna stay dead because it sucks living.
word
compile for linux please
sorry, i never made a linux build bc i don't have a linux machine to test and debug on. i'm afraid the web build is your only option ^^;
oh i could debug it for you!
i'm good but thanks 4 the offer!
I still dont know how to open the door...I'm just stupid...
which door? if you mean the door at the top of the spiral staircase, it's impossible to open!
The door when you first enter, with the dude and the cat?
to open that door, you need to get a book from oliver (the mouse) in the library, give it to kyungsoon (the hyena), then talk to oliver again :)
OHHH Ty! Im an idiot!
Okay so I'm gonna be honest, this is by far the BEST game I've played so far. I'm sad there isn't a fanbase for it, and was even surprised when there was BARELY even a fanbase. This game needs more love ( and yeah thanks for being an inspiration to learn code games
ty!
i found the meoseum but i am stuck
are you looking for the passcode to the meowseum? you should be able to find a clue on a piece of paper near the big hill in the park. then you may have to speak with elijah and sean :3
