## What is Purrfect Tale?

When you awake, you find yourself transported back to the time when you were a student. You find it hard to breathe under the massive study load and oppressive environment, until you meet a stray cat that manages to wriggle its way into your world by chance...

What? That gentle and kind cat was actually a shy boy?! What kind of life will you choose this time?
Create a cozy home with your cat-eared youth: You can cook, decorate, and raise little animals together. You can eat chilled watermelon with a spoon together in summer, and snuggle on the couch watching old movies together in winter. The life that you have always wished for can become reality here...

Begin a New Story
This story is told through interactive comics. You'll need to consider and make your choices to progress. What will you do when the cat you take in turns into a human? What kind of outfit will you wear for your spring outing...?
Each interaction will give you a chance to better understand your cat-eared youth. Each time you try your best, you'll have a chance to get one step closer to your dream. Each action you take will impact the continuation of the story. So, what kind of choices will you make?

A House of Your Own
You can have a house of your own to decorate as you like! It has a big floor-length window. You can fill the house up with your favorite furniture and items for your pets. It also has a little yard where you can grow all sorts of plants! 
Every time the warm sunlight spills into the house, you can curl up in your rocking chair and watch the cats and dogs happily playing in the yard...

The Joys of Raising Virtual Cats
Are some special reasons keeping you from raising the pets you like? Now you have a little house of your own, so you don't need to worry about mom not letting you raise cats! Between bathing them, drying their fur, and playing with them, raising cats is no easy task. Please lend a hand!

Exquisite Outfits
A universal trouble on many girls' minds is, "What on Earth was I wearing last year?" There's no need to worry here, though! More than a hundred outfits are waiting for you to try on! Bravely try out styles that are different from what you usually wear—different outfits can trigger different stories! Eh? I wonder what kind of story will unfold if a boy is put in a dress?

Explore the Cats' Social Circles
If your cat could talk to you, what would they say? WeCat is a mysterious place where you can learn more about your cats' secrets and funny stories from their daily lives... Will you choose to be a quiet observer, or join in the fun with your feline friends?

The Catcha Machine
Didn't expect to catch cats in a claw machine, did you? Catch them and they're yours! Huh? Do these cats have their own personalities and jobs? There are also tons of decorations, souvenirs, and snacks, such as strawberry pudding, macarons, boba milk tea... There are so many yummy snacks! I wonder what it'll be like when the house is filled with them?

### 3/5 — Glitches and recipes

*2026-08-24, version 2.16.0*

There’s so many glitches in the game. There’s a glitch where you’ll be stuck at the claw machine, where the cooking orders screen bugs out entirely, and after watching an ad the music just fully stops. One of the things that bothers me the most is the recipes. There are no clues, no stable amount of ingredients used for each dish, and it’s awfully difficult to collect things like sugar and oil. The game otherwise is quite fun, and collecting cats aren’t too difficult.

### 5/5 — i love this game

*2026-08-18, version 2.16.0*

i love this game so so much but one problem i have is that the chapters cost a lot of hearts. it may not seem like a lot but to a beginner it is, especially act 2 and hearts a quite hard to get like i said, especially for a beginner, because mostly hearts are from cats and as a beginner you will not have a lot. so getting to the next part of the story (especially act 2 and above) can t
are AGES and could be off-putting for a beginner.

### 1/5 — Literal ad trap

*2026-08-17, version 2.16.0*

You can’t even enjoy the story without the game begging you to watch ads. Want to unlock the next chapter? Need more hearts? Too bad, you gotta sit through another 30-second ad because that’s almost the only way to get them. It holds the gameplay hostage and makes you jump through hoops just to play. Pure cash grab :|

### 3/5 — wonderful if you spend money to get rid of the ads

*2026-08-17, version 2.16.0*

such a cute and sweet game. it is a bit overwhelming in the home page with all of the red notification badges to buy stuff… but i absolutely love the beginning of the story line so far. have only played one day.

### 3/5 — Only problem is the hearts and cooking

*2026-08-16, version 2.16.0*

For the life of me I can’t get the stir-fried shredded potato, the steamed pork with rice powder, the liangpi noodles or the braised pork. Please fix the cooking.

Now the hearts are great, but what do you mean we have to watch and ad every ten minutes to get hearts?
We have to watch ads just to get the main story, which I can’t get to because I have to wait to even watch ads.

### 4/5 — absolute cinema

*2026-08-11, version 2.16.0*

ideal cutesy game! I just need to get rich ╯.╰ you should add more ways to earn hearts !!

### 1/5 — 🫪

*2026-08-10, version 2.16.0*

🙄🙄

### 5/5 — Love this game so muchhhhhh

*2026-08-08, version 2.16.0*

Omg this game is so cute and awesome it is like you are in a movie and there are little game too it is so cute and even more better for cat lovers  it is to perfect to be true i really recommend you get this game and you can decorate your house with cute things and there is Wecat it is like instragram but with cute things  and you can dress up your character too!!!

### 5/5 — Loads of fun

*2026-08-04, version 2.16.0*

I got to steal from the devs garden for the tutorial

### 3/5 — Nice game. But…

*2026-08-02, version 2.16.0*

The story of the game is enjoyable. The interface is pretty easy to understand, but…when you’re not enjoying game content, you’ll be watching ads like…90% of the time.
