## What is Purrfect Date?

Cats are a lil’ like marmite. Either you absolutely head-over-heels love’ em, or… nahhh, who are we kidding?! Everyone categorically LOVES cats. Case closed. *Pounds hammer* Next! 

...but what would it be like to date one?

Find out in 'Purrfect Date' - a new breed of dating sim, and the latest ‘critically acclaimed’ release from the BAFTA-winning Bossa Studios, brains behind 'I am Bread' and 'Surgeon Simulator'. 
 
Set on the seemingly idyllic Cat Island (think palm trees, coconuts, and beachfront cocktail shacks), you, a stranger to these shores, must date a string of fetching felines, in an attempt to unravel the island’s mysterious secrets. 

What happened to all the humans? Why can these cats talk? ...am I falling in love?! 

You can also expect...

- Paw-dropping visuals, all hand illustrated
- A soundtrack that gives an entirely new meaning to the phrase ‘earworm’
- No less than 18 - that’s E-I-G-H-T-E-E-N! - alternative endings
- More words than Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. No, really.
- Um… did we mention you get to date cats?

### 1/5 — A human/cat romance??

*2023-02-02, version 1.0*

PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE LIKE ME AND ASSUMED THIS WAS EITHER GOING TO BE A HUMAN/HUMAN ROMANCE WITH CAT LOVERS OR A CAT/CAT DATING SIM.

I got this game and assumed it was humans dating humans or even cats dating cats, BUT ITS NOT. THE HUMAN DATES THE CAT. I get that there is a possibility that the cats are humans who are cursed or something, but I already finished a dating route where the cat confessed to my character.. 
no where does it say that the cats know that they are human (they all see themselves as cats) or that the humans know that the cats are cursed (they see them as cats they developed an ability to talk to). So basically this is a human with a cat dating simulator. 

I was actually really excited for this game and looking forward to it, and otherwise it was really fun the hours I played it,  but I can’t get over the animal/human aspect of the game so I’m going to try get a refund. Again, maybe I’m missing something And the cats will end up being human, but neither the cat or the human knows that so I’m extremely creeped out that they even developed feelings for each other without having that figured out first. Like imagine romantically  falling in love with a cat even if it does talk, I find that sick. If it was a beauty and the beast type of situation where they KNEW FOR A FACT that the cat was actually a human trapped in a cats body I’d totally be ok with that, but as far as I know it’s really unclear why the cats talk and there’s no guarantee of them being human at all. Like no where does it mention that the cat believes it is a human (so even if it is a human later in the game it currently believes itself to be a cat)  or that the player (a human) knows the cat is something else than a cat before they get into a relationship. CREEPY. I hope creators fix that plot line and make it so u can’t date cats or so that you can KNOW the cat is actually human before any romance even starts if that was the intention with the game . Even if the cat ends up being human it doesn’t make it any less wrong because the character doesn’t betray any knowledge of believing the cat is actually human before getting in a relationship with it!! Like throughout the game it was mentioned that both the cat and the human believed the cat to be a actual cat so it’s weird for them to date and actually would be illegal in a lot of states! Maybe it’s the route that I chose or something (I'm really hoping) or maybe I’m misunderstanding something but I really tried to get into it and it just kept getting way too weird for me because I’m a cat lover and it feels gross to play a game where I’m dating a cat as a human. 

I feel like the creators weren’t trying to be creepy but the game could have been paced different or some aspects could have been changed. Even if it is just a game there is sick people out there and so for that reason it feels wrong to keep playing it when I’ve been playing for a couple of hours already and it’s still just a human/cat romance.

### 5/5 — Unexpected Adventure And Mystery

*2022-10-25, version 1.0*

I expected a fun and shallow game of setting up cats on dates with cute art. It is still that, and much more. The strange island of cats has secrets and possibly sinister backstory. It’s a mystery play novel!

### 3/5 — You have to do everything perfectly to get to the outcome

*2020-08-22, version 1.0*

And if you don’t - you have to play through the game again and again with the same dialogue.

Gah

### 5/5 — One of the best games I’ve played

*2020-08-21, version 1.0*

I bought this games expecting to date a cat maybe a lil more but what I got was much much better and creative! I love how the game works and would highly recommend! If your expecting a cat dating game just a heads up that it’s also a mystery thriller game full of lots of exciting moments with the characters and cats! I would love any other games like this that the developers would make I don’t find good story plot games for a decent price often and this was the best one I’ve played yet! So thank you devs and continue to do your amazing work on your games <33!

### 5/5 — Cats!!

*2020-08-16, version 1.0*

It is a great game but it has some weird glitches that might be part of the game

### 4/5 — Good game! But....

*2020-01-02, version 1.0*

I love this game a lot! It’s a very fun and unusual adventure/mystery. The only thing is I just wish that there was some more choices 😬❤️😄

### 5/5 — Unexpected.. in a GOOD way.

*2019-12-15, version 1.0*

When I first saw this game I thought I would be making the cats date earth other. Clearly wrong.. but as the title suggests, I was wrong in the good way. The Dev Cave was awesome, the cats where cute in all ways possible, let alone would I think the island was some kind of industry. I found myself trying to make a lore out of this, sometimes I was scared to continue! At a point in time I “locked” myself in the corner in the last chapter, it made me so heartbroken that I didn’t finish the antidote.

Okay, for people who want a straight-forward opinion, point is that this can have some twists and turns, and you really have to learn from your mistakes. Me, I haven’t seen the full game, but from what I have I can say: it’s awesome. On a final note: If your a dev and your reading this: Awesome game. And if your a user reading this: This does have a lot of twists and turns, and can make you scared or sick at the thought of something. That’s my warning, but other then that 10/10 would recommend.

### 1/5 — I want a refund!

*2019-06-11, version 1.0*

I’d like a refund. I expected the game to be a dating simulator, not a mystery game.

### 5/5 — Perfect for HB fans.

*2019-04-29, version 1.0*

So I really enjoyed Hatoful boyfriend, and that was great, so as soon as I saw this game, I got it. I loved dating birds, so dating cats would be great! It’s fun and silly, and there’s a secret, too... Just like in Hatoful boyfriend!

### 1/5 — Barely ever get to make choices

*2019-01-01, version 1.0*

Please make more choices and if I were you I’d get a different game like “I am bread”
