Dude. This game is absolutely HARROWING. For such a simple game, you did absolutely outstanding with the storytelling. Keep on makin' stuff, we're all here for it. Smart setup by the way, with the dark halls and the feeling of isolation ;) The sprites are so incredibly cute, and the music goes very well with it.
about to play this, just reading the comments with all the other pet owners and the ones that have experienced the loss of their beloved kitty and it resonates with me in particular too. I had a beautiful white cat just like meowmie who I have loved dearly for a very long time. I miss him everyday and lost him a short while ago. I'm hoping we can all heal and thank you to the creator of this game for creating something special to all of us.
EDIT: im sorry if this is missinterprreted please read replies. i am So sorry.
Do NOT play if you have a white cat like i do. Please. I have to go hold my cat now. You cant just make this for a dare. the devs who had this idea deserve jailtime or something. it hurt. i dont want my spicie kitty to go. i dont want my misty to leave either. now i have to think about that. my therapist is about to go on mat leave and now im stuck with this.
This game had warnings if you didn't read. And being mean to the developers if you've experienced as much (or more) grief for Meowmie as I did, is not the right thing to do. I also was very sad about the ending and understand your concern. But the description HAD a warning about emotional content. The exact words you can find at the top of the page are: This game may contain heavy emotional content, especially for pet owners. Please proceed with care.
I am so sorry. i am not trying to be mean to the dev, it was a beautiful and well made game which was good at bringing out the strong emotions and themes it was meant to bring out. I have also expirienced a lot of greif in my lifetime including multiple animals and humans. i didnt know that people were missreading my message. i cope a lot with humor. the science behind it is interesting, i took an anthropology course. my intention was to be humorus but also i was sad because of the games sad ending and wanted to highlight that aswell. im also autistic and despite having heightened emotions, its sometimes hard to predict the emotions of others.
Sorry, I didn't mean to sound mean either. The game is sad, scary, and great overall in my opinion. I will try to not be as mean. I am also very sorry.
(Edit: This was much longer than expected or intended. Summary: it’s ok we’re chill) It’s ok. I understand where you are coming from too. everyone is different in how they process things. For example recently I saw various reactions to dead insects being turned into jewelry. There were people who loved bugs, didn’t think much of bugs, and hated bugs. Regardless of their opinion on bugs, some people thought it was morally and ethically wrong, some people thought it was not their style, some people, thought there was better ways to preserve bugs, some people compared it to turning humans into jewelry in a cruel way, and some people compared it to putting the hair and ashes of loved ones into jewelry. Every response was so different in how the person felt. Things that inhabit grief can come in various forms and how people react to it changes drastically from person to person. In condensed places with high levels of contradicting feelings on a set subject of passion and with no threat from the changing opinion of important individuals in their life, either through support or through isolation, people are more likely to state their personal opinions fully and openly. I find that many if not all of these comments are feeling the same emotional base, but the subtle buildup of other emotions and memories and personality shapes each comment to be unique, in a way the writer understands. I don’t often think of how I will be perceived deeper than how I perceive myself. As a result, this is not the only time I have said something that ended up being different from what I meant. How you perceive me is a result of what you have gone through, the good and bad, intentional or not, and the parts of myself that I show, good or bad, intentional or not. I think that’s why being human is so hard. We interpret being human to be an exact science. We have expectations of ourselves to be reasonable and relateable and without fault. But being human is not science. I think it’s an art. Mistakes can be covered up or emphasized or ignored or maybe not even be out of place, but they are there. No human is perfectly reasonable, or constantly relatable, or without fault. But we are the artists of our own humanity, for better or worse every opinion adds clay to the sculpture. And art is in itself a form of thought to be interpreted uniquely by each view dependant on circumstances, experiences, personality, memory, emotion. I think that you stood up in what you believe to be right, which I agree with. we both got to interpret each other from nothing but words, and I think we learned things from each other that we hadn’t yet. That is art, how it is meant to be interpreted, how it changes as it is continuously being created. This is being human.
Such a beautiful game. I lost my cat last week and it really does feel like all the colour drains from life and you no longer have your companion and safe place anymore. Really sad, well done, and thought provoking game. Goodnight, Meowmie.
no cuz why did that hit to close to home. my cat died last year due to a coyote. I found him limp on the ground outside at night with blood. I still miss you Chibs, my son, my best friend. I will hold you in my memories...
to the creators: i hate you sm. i hope your pillow is always warm even when you flip it. i hope you dream that youre sitting on a toilet, and you wake up and you peed yourself. this is a true horror game. 10/10
I once played this game but had to finish it in video because it hit close to home. To the creator you've done a lovely job of making the loss and guilt of losing a pet weather or not of old age.

I heavily agree with you, but I unfortunately didn't have an opportunity to own a cat and would love to. Thanks for being positive unlike some others.
