Is there voice acting in the game?
Yes :)
I didn't have any expectations going into it, but this was a really lovely, short game. I loved the messaging bits, the story there, but I'm also intrigued about the whole cat website bit- why is it like that? Why can't I just interact with my cats in real life? are the cats real or some kind of game? I'd love to know more, and play more if a sequel was made.
Thank you for playing, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I made this deep into the COVID lockdown in 2020 so the themes of isolation and loneliness were quite prominent. The cat website, I feel, reflects nicely the chat job, the men you chat to can only do so through the screen. Then we find Miguel can only find connection through the screen as well. I never thought about the cats not being real, it’s a good idea but maybe too much for this small game, and I couldn’t be that cruel to Miguel during lockdown :)
