Cats? CATS!

I could leave my review there and be done with it, and honestly it would be enough to recommend this game, but I feel like I need to explain myself somewhat, since this game is a tad bit weird in it's ... theme. When you first see the game you must be thinking to yourself, "Dating cats?! What the heck is this trash!", but I must say that the game really sells you the story so well that it will eventually make sense why you are dating cats.

Obviously the game is all fun and, well, games, and doesn't really seriously recommend anyone to try bestiality. The game itself is a big cat pun and has a lot of fun dialogue and interesting art. Purrfect Date blends mystery, intrigue and wickedly black humor, to create the ultimate crossbreed between visual novel and dating simulator!

It's a cat dating sim that is painfully self-aware of it's existence, and delivers sarcastic humor that makes it hilarious and totally endearing. You will play the role of 6 research assistants who have been shipped off to a secret remote location called "Cat Island". As dark secrets and events unfold, you will suddenly find yourself able to communicate with the island's feline inhabitants. And being the feline lover that you are with such well-spoken cats, the next logical choice aside your continued study of the island, is a little kitty romance.

The game is definitely worth it for the price that it sells at, but 100% the game was a pain. There is no skip dialogue buttons or anything similar that would make your journey to 100% completion easier after your first playthrough. I figured a good way to use an autoclicker to click through the dialogue faster, but it was still a slog to go through when you had to read the same dialogue a few times.

Nevertheless, it's a game that I really enjoyed and I do think it's a worth it experience for any cat lovers and visual novel enjoyers alike!

really went for the "imma fuck the cat" ending first huh

Going to have to let the cat out of the bag when it comes to this game it was clearly not what I was expecting at first, although not even sure what I was expecting.

Now if you want to judge the book by it's cover the graphics are hand-drawn and may not be your latest graphics but sometimes a good tale doesn't necessarily need amazing graphics.

As for the story - I'll be honest for the first maybe 30 minutes to 45 minutes - I was asking myself why I am playing this silly game as it was and then it happened. Not going to spoil it but it was not what the result I was expected and I was not a fan of the result so I restarted this game that only like a few moments ago was asking myself why I was still playing, but with the plot twists I became intrigued.

Hours later - found myself finding that my choices do matter
