You are Adrian, and this is your first day at work!

The only thing you have to do is to take care of this cat for 5 minutes until her owners come back!

It's not that difficult... right?

"Don't touch the cat!" is a mystery, psychological horror game about, well, cats!
And a guy on his first day at work! It's a really short game, it takes around 20-30mins to get all endings.

It has 4 endings! And, well, try not touching the cat?


Notes:

+ The web version may have some troubles working, so, for best results,
I strongely recommend you to download the game, OR play it on the Itch.io APP.

+ You can easily save at one point, get an ending, and then load the same file
and get another ending. This was made so you could get the endings easily!!
(The timer, sadly, still resets :c)

+ The main menu has something interesting after you reach all 4 endings!
Pay attention to the sounds...! It'll never be the same again.

+ This was my attempt to enter the Spooktober VN jam 2023 but I couldn't
make it in time :( But it's still here, all done! ^^

+ All credits are in-game!

( No cats are harmed in the game!! )

The cat is cute (and mysterious too!). Waiting five minutes while barely anything happens seems like a lot to wait more than once though (especially if my goal were to get each ending multiple times…. well, at least I can type some thoughts about the game while I’m waiting). The main menu using the colours of the cat and a cute font is nice too. And I think the use of speech bubbles fits the cute style of the game.

The sound captions are nice to see (more games should do that) although the one for the main menu music is a bit hard to read in the short amount of time that it stays on screen.

It was fun to play this one, even if I’m keeping this review a bit short to save time.

Thanks to you, I’ve decided to make a walkthrough of the game!! So if people are having trouble getting an ending, there’s a guide now that will help them!! ^^

AGAIN! Thank youuuu!!! :D

Hello! Sorry for the late reply!! And thank you for playing it!! ^^

I’ve made a WALKTHROUGH of the game to get all 3 endings, so please, check it out! ^^

what makes this a scary game is someone telling you not to pet a cute animal-

Oh, I think I will animals.

This was really cool and mysterious! I couldn't help but pet the cat, they're too cute... but there's definitely something else going on here! The art is really cute, and there's a lot of cool ideas with the gameplay. I had a fun time!

thank you for your words!! :D ^^

Hey, how do I get Ending 3?

hey!! thank you for playing this short game!! :D

To get End 3, you only have to wait patiently without touching the cat c: You’ll see something appear during the last seconds 👀!

I got some "move" text above the cat, and the timer turned red. What does this mean?

(+1)

Aww this is short but cute~ 

But do I trust that cat? There's something going on here...~

[I may have missed something at least as I can't seem to figure out how to get ending 2!]

(1 edit)

Hello! ^^ thank you for playing!!

There is something going on there, hehehe…!

[To get End 2, you need to search with the hand all over the screen, even if the hand goes a bit down off screen. Try touching the part of the ‘table’, and when you get a “…” notif, then you are close!]

Again, thank you so much for playing it!! ^^

Kind of wish the player didn't have to do that in order to get a different ending though.

pretty cool game! I enjoyed it, but confused. I did a gameplay of it on my YouTube channel, if you could possibly take a look and consider subscribing that would be awesome!
