« joli DA, histoire sympa mais rythme trop lent. Je comprend l'idée, faire quelque chose d'inspirationnel, inviter à la réflexion, etc. Et j'approuve à 100% Mais le personnage se déplace à la vitesse d'un escargot. Insupportable. »

« It's actually super boring! You just live in a small town as a cat, talk to people, do daily stuff. If real life simulators is your thing, then this game will be good for you. But if you like adventures, then this game will be very boring! »
