Loved the story. Its like there was a connection with all of the characters.

The art is so cute! <3

It was a great story, wonderful! I can only hope you will change your mind about a sequel someday...

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Will you ever release another game as a sequel, this was great and Its sad it ended.

Sorry, just a single story. I'm glad you enjoyed it though!

This game was amazing and imo the story was really good so I had to get the DLC.  It's sad now that the story is over but it was a good experience. It would be cool if we could get another story following the events of good ending 1 or something seeing how the characters live after it all. But overall thank you for the game UncleArtie and best of luck in your future endevours.

Thank you very much. I'm glad you really enjoyed it.

Great game! Can we ask how to you get the other endings? I got only one.

Thanks! There's some walkthroughs on steam if you have an account. There might be some more if you google it. Other than that, it's just experimenting with the choice.

Thank you for the reply.

I loved this game so much. Thank you for all your efforts. Looking forward to your new games!

Thank you for checking it out! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This was a really good game, It's rare to see a game that is lengthy enough to feel like a full story, be well written, and have good art all at once. I really liked it. I'm curious to see if you ever do anything like this again, maybe even revisit this story, after your current project. Also, this itch page really doesnt do the game justice lmao, im surprised I found it.

Sorry for the late reply, time got away from me there.

Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. What do you mean by the itch page doesn't do the game justice? I'm not sure what you mean by that.

I guess its what I meant is its just a simplistic page in terms of how it looks, almost made me overlook this game haha. I guess its more a me thing than anything. Regardless, I'll say again, I loved this game, and its story has been living in my head rent free since I finished it lol.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks again for playing!

I really like this!

Thanks!

Ah, ok. Thank you.

(-2)

Pls i really want to play im depress i got break up in my gf

Hi uncle arti can u pls fix the adroid version:(

Hi why its not working in (android)

(+1)

If the game keeps crashing on android, then it might be your phone isn't compatible with it. This has happened multiple times in the past and that always seems to be the case. I recommend just playing the PC or Mac version and saving yourself the trouble of dealing with that.

It work now thank you i use pc

when i finnish the game i will buy extra fluffy

(+1)

Thank you. I hope you enjoy the story!

I downloaded this game but when I press on the exe. it doesn't work just does the loading animation then nothing happens send help 

Which one did you download? PC, Mac or Android?

Nvm the ol restart computer and redownload trick worked thanks

I'm glad it worked out

Question: How many possible heroines are in this game? And possible endings? Just wondering since couldn't find the answer to these questions on the internet.

By "possible heroines", I'm going to guess you mean characters you can romance. Just 1. There are 4 possible endings.

Uh im having issue with my game... Am on an oppo phone (android) and for some reason my game crash right at the beginning, the farthest i have go is: "this is just a dream, little human" then ot crash, this repeat endlessly even if i reinstall the game, also choosing some setting option like enable rollback also crash my game, am not sure if it was my phone or the game.

(+1)

Phones tend to have a lot of trouble I've noticed. You could look up stuff to see if it is something specific with your phone type and if there is a work-a-round if you want but I recommend just doing the desktop download instead as it is the easiest fix.

I download the pc ver, figure out how to use it on my phone, yet it STILL crashing after 4 dialogue :/ im gonna buy a new phone.

Dude same the game crash when she say "this is just a dream, little human"

I've looked up and down, I'm missing the first scene in the gallery. How does one unlock this?

(+1)

Chapter 1: it's in the Multitasking mission, you have to fail it to unlock the first scene in the gallery

Hello UncleArtie, I loved the game it sucks it has ended aside from the Extra fluffy Edition I wish that the story was still going on. Are you going to be working on any future stuff?

(+1)

Thank you for playing and enjoying it. I have been working on my next project since March and post about its development on my patreon and my discord server. I have a lot of plans for catgirls in the future haha

Thats great!

(1 edit)

This visual novel is honestly very very well done, I wish there was a LOT more content in the free version, as I don't know if the paid one is updated or not. On the Patreon, I don't quite know if the Discord link is supposed to be invalid because you have to be a Patreon member to get in I figured it out, yes you have to be a patreon member which I did become!  It's gonna be fun here. But about the VN, it's really really catching, when you play it, you can't stop for a LONG time, and you just get caught in anticipation for every single aspect of it, like for updates, and better story. I've only gotten one ending so far but it's super addicting!

(+1)

Thank you for reading it. That's really strange about the discord link. It's supposed to be just a public invite. I'll check it out and see what happened. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Hey, not a problem about the Discord, but it seems like the link broke because I think I had to link my Discord to my patreon, I just think I forgot to do that earlier so I had to do it now. That is what probably didn't let me in.

(+3)(-1)

Ah Catgirl Maid. You were, and forever will be, the best Visual Novel to exist. I remember waiting for each update with anticipation. Eagerly awaiting to find out what would happen next. It was a beautiful time. I'll hold it in my heart forever

(+2)

I'm glad you really enjoy it! It was a lot of fun to make.

(+1)(-1)

This is one of the best visual novels I've played to date, and certainly the most captivating hentai VN. The writing throughout the game is fantastic -- the main character is fairly relatable, the banter feels realistic, and I didn't notice any typos in my time with it (an admittedly low bar, but I feel it's worth mentioning given the quality of other h-games out there). The worldbuilding involved is pretty interesting, and I was getting genuinely emotional as I neared the story's end. The pacing is well-done, knowing when things should be silly, serious, or sensual and how to flow between the three. I look forward to whatever comes next from the creator(s), even if it's not necessarily building off of this universe.

Oh, and the actual porn scenes are great too. A good mix of hot and adorable, which is my personal favorite.

Please tag the game for linux so that the itch.io app can download it on linux. The game works well when downloaded manually (I finished it).

is there a specific way to pass the market? 

which order should I go in? meet, rice, or vegetables

The order of those three don't matter as you have to do all three segments to advance anyhow. Here's the walkthrough if you need it but don't stress out about it. You can still get good endings even if you "fail" the "challenge".

How to continue after entering the name?Android

Sorry for the really late reply. It has been hell the past couple of weeks.

Android can be a mixed bag of nuts when it comes to problems as it seems to be something new for each and every different phone. The only time I have seen that problem is with an emulator like Bluestacks.

I'd ask for more information but even just a general search of trying to find someone with a similar problem isn't going well so I doubt there's a logical reason for it. I recommend just playing the PC or Mac version if you continue to have problems.

Hi, I really enjoyed the game, I was wondering if there was going to be a sequel that would further mc and cynthia's story.

(1 edit)

Thank you very much! No, Cynthia and the MC's story is done. I'm currently working on another story in the same story universe though. You can find information on it on my patreon.

This Game is so good i really like it.

Does anybody know an anime with a similar plot?

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. In answer to your question: "Miss Koyabashi's Dragon Maid" and "The Helpful Fox Senko-san" are my recommendations.

Oh im gonna download this game just because a friend told me about and also Every Senko lover is deserves anything for me~

Hope you have a good time!!

This novel is so funny and adorable, I love it

Fun fact: I always pictured the vendors in the market as characters that came from Zelda N64

This is a very good game!
The plot is amazing, and I love the character design.

Thank you, UncleArtie, for making this game.

In the gallery, I am missing the 1st image, pages 1, & 3. I've not gotten the bad ending, are these related to it? If not, could pleaseyou tell me how to obtain them? Also, great VN, 999/1000, no sequel :( .lol

Hey. Sorry for the little bit of a late reply.

Page 1, Image 1: Fail the Multitask section in Chapter 1
Page 3, Image 1: Automatically unlocked in Good Ending 1

Thank you for playing. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks!

I had a feeling before playing this game that it would've been at least alright, but I was NOT expecting it to be as amazing as it was! Sure, the art and music (even if it's just Kevin MacLeod) are both quite nice, but the writing is what makes it truly stand out. Pretty much every sentence is gold and nothing feels forced! All in all, thank you very much UncleArtie, you're definitely getting my money with the bonus stories!

Thank you very much for playing it! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Hey guys recommend me some games like this one pls... thanks.....

Your blurb could not have done a worse job "selling" this VN. You've created an extremely compelling, if slightly predictable, story. The dialogue is flawless, youve captured the MC's malaise so well it feels like I work with these idiots. Having (basically) four characters gives you a real sense of the dynamics between each person, developing their personality. You developed the romance without absolutely kicking a dead horse like a certain very popular AVN on this site. The sex feels somehow tasteful? Im at chapter 8 and had to come leave a comment. Very impressed by your work

(+1)

Honestly, this game have the quality of a commercial title, and it's free, so it's reason enough to play.


While some parts are kinda predictable (maybe I'm used to these kinda curve balls that I can predict), It doesn't fall on the same mold of some Free VN's who use the same corruption/trainer schtick.


Overall, a great novel.

It was a fun ride. I am satisfied
