purrgatory:
this game is a banger and i'm honestly surprised that I haven't played it before, if niv reads this for whatever reason, good job
I say i'm surprised I didn't play it before because I could tell what side of itch.io this game was on by the first 5 lines of dialogue. In many ways, the way the dialogue is written and how it is overall made really reminds me of people like nomnomnami and npckc and the such. Just these shorter, very cute and fluffly VN/graphical adventures. I really got into those type of games a few years back, so idk how I really hadn't played this
The only actual complaint I have about the game is the map being a bit disorienting, it was a little bit to navigate at first when you didn't know the map from memory, maybe adding a map or something like that would have helped, or changing the perspectives of certain rooms
Honestly I really appreciate that this was just requested after class of '09, because I cant name two games, which are mostly on the same genre, that are more opposite from each other than these two. If this game were places, class of 09 is a nuclear wasteland and purrgatory is a pillow fort. Honeslty I think comparing the two games is a really good way to talk about them
the dialogue in purrgatory is instantly recognisable of this type of games, as they're normally all lowercase, very informal, sometimes uses emotions like :3, and feels more like you're reading a discord conversation than vn dialogue. Which has it's charm, as I say, I like this subgenre
The characters are all furries, which, was to be expected with a game like this. But actually, having furry character is actually mad good for making instantly recognisable characters, and that helps when you're introduced to many characters in such a small ammount of time, like this game, it's easier to tell apart a moth from a snake than just two human beings
Now, the comedy. I enjoyed the coemdy, however, the ammount of cat puns and puns in general are enough to kill some people, which on itself would be a cat-astrophe (That joke is stolen directly from the game, that's the level of comedy we're working with here). But, honestly, I think puns works, the atmosphere of the game is very comfy so just having this little harmless silly jokes really makes sense
This atmosphere also helps a lot with the story, which is on the line of "just enjoy the mundane of life", no need to get 25434 awards and set your name in history, just staying in bed one day or two and working on a webcomic you started for fun is a fine way of living life
on the topic of the story, I did not expect that credit sequence, really made me a bit emotional
Again, comparing to class of 09, this is probably one of the most striking differences, class of 09 feels made under the idea of "oh comedy is dead, everyone gets offended nowadays", and then you have a game with 40 different cat puns
The game was never difficult, never had to use the guide, which is good consdiering i'm dumb af.
Yeah this game is just very good, really enjoyed, 5 stars, followed on itch.io

this isn't a bad anime, this is a anime speedrun.
It's not like ex-arm where it's just shit, this is just a 20 minute anime trying to speedrun the plot, tries to be mysterius and profound with like the random object that moves, introduces waifus and mechas, has ecchi scenes with the waifus, then has a dramatic moment on like the friendships and relations of the characters, then they have an action scene, etc
I'm going to say, this is not the worst thing i've seen. While this is a speedrun, they at least kinda tried something, I would argue that something like gladiformers is worse just because it is a copy of something else
also voice acting is fucking funny I love it
next: tatami galaxy
also I remembered I said to do fist of the north star manga woops kinda forgot about it will also do
no updates on rain code
been watching that yt video too it's cool I guess
