Cat's Kiss Review (grizzledoldgamer)
My PRELIMINARY review:
Day 1: Found an adorable girl trapped in a cat's body due to some unknown curse. She caught me peeking at her in the shower. She went to bed wearing the cutest pajamas. She woke up naked with my fingers in her pussy. She seems not to like me much. I can't fathom why.
This game is funny. Sort-of, anyway. Being a creepy pervert when the girl is basically a prisoner in your house is just too much fun to avoid. I wonder if I piss her off enough, would she choose to just leave and live as a cat. I might have to try that.
I finished a playthrough about a week ago, and have hesitated in updating this review. The game became tedious LONG before I found the cure for the curse afflicting my little cat-girl. It became "work all week, have sex with the cat girl on the weekends, and don't talk (or play games) with her unless the RNG decides to ruin her mood. It got to the point where I just left the little bitch in cat form for half the game. And I only did that because there was no "toss the pussy out the window" option.
How does this curse actually work? It's supposed to be my kiss that breaks the curse for 24 hours. At least that's what the game tells you. Except that anytime she steps outside your door, she immediately reverts back to a cat. Wait, what?!? Is it my kiss that breaks the curse, or her proximity to my bed? If my apartment burns down, is she stuck as a cat forever?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, "It's a video game." And fuck you for saying so! Of course it's a video game. However, that in no way, shape, or form excuses lazy writing or programming. It just comes off feeling like the dev was too lazy to paint a few extra backgrounds and/or write a few extra lines of dialogue.
It's not offensive. It's almost like this was the proof of concept for a game, but then they just sold it anyway. It's just that since I've seen the curse break, and then seen the "cure" broken, I have 0% interest in double clicking the icon on my desktop. If there's anything left for the game to show me, it waited too long on the reveal, as I'm out.
Also, it seems like the achievements for this game might be "broken" as most of the things on that list were accomplished in game, but didn't unlock. But fuck it, who cares about Steam achievements anyway?
In general, I don't think that the 2-D Hentai games are all that much fun. I've purchased several of them recently, and maybe one of them will ultimately change my mind. But, as it stands, I'm just finding a repetitive grind that has limited payoff. Performing the same sexual acts repeatedly, to the same person, in the same position, wearing the same clothes is too much like being married to be fun. At least for more than a few minutes.
