I… i love you thank you this so good im playing this for the rest of my life
oh wow you put a lot of thought into this... its really fun and cool to play! the poem was a nice touch.
I LOVE this game! Such a fun world to explore and characters to get to know, I had fun the whole time. The final ending made me so so happy. And I love Sean!!! omg i need more sean
why did I spend so much time drawing and goofing off
SO good! Only downside was i cold only imagine jeremy jordan as the voice of lucifur, but that may just be a me problem. 1000% reccomend!
THAT WAS SO FREAKING AMAZING OMC (oh my cat)
quick question though!!!
can I find the soundtrack or at least Purrgatory Blues on Spotify or Apple Music?? I'd love to listen to ittttt!!!
Thank you for an amazing wonderful fantastic game!!!!!!!!!!!
Some could say this game was fur-nomenal... 10/10
meh.
Isn't purrgatory the pun that works in like a ton of languages? Just remembered that
My inner Frisk as soon as I see Sean:
*Flirt
*Flirt
*Flirt
*Flirt
Anyhoozles I want more of this story bro I can't live without it gimme more aaaaaaaa *grabby hands*
same dude. same.
This is the hidden gem of hidden gems
heres an awesome screenshot
also btw i need natalie to be romanceable
WAIT IS THIS IN THE GAME?? ARE YOU TELLING ME THERE IS AN OWL HOUSE REFERENCE IN THE GAME???????
ohh wait you drew them urself! that sucks, i clicked like every writing utensil and couldnt pick any of them up
I RECOMMEND SO MUCH!!! My fav game on itch.!!! Love how it's point and click, and none of the quests were too hard to complete. As for the characters, they all have such different personalities and are all so sweet + slightly romanceable <3. I played this in French but the translation was perfect as well :D.
SPOILER ALERT: Honestly I wish there was an option to help Lucifer from being lonely though.
his name is lucifur. luci-FUR
Yeah true in my French version he was chatan, so just randomly guessed in English lol but we love lucifur tho <33 the purr ince of hell
just played through the rest of the help everyone route and yeah i also really wanted a way to help Lucifur
Yess this game was so fun
amazing amazing game. i felt so sad to leave the purrgatory just because everyone there was so sweet and had such inspiring stories. 10/10 game and the true ending is SO worth it.
Oh, my heart. Such a lovable cast of characters! I especially love Natalie -- as a webcomic artist, I deeply relate to her. :')
OH MY GOD THAT WAS ACTUALLY THE MOST EMOTIONAL AND SWEETEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS SO GOODDDD!!!!!!!! i got everyone through and i was so happyyyy!!!! but tbh it was kinda sad leaving purrgatory and all its memories, but i'm glad that they get to see their loved ones again!! eeeeee!! just one question, at the end when i say yes to going through the gates of heaven, do all my friends come with me?
This is such a great game! there's so much thought and effort put into it! I love the humor and the characters, and also the map of purgatory- which is really fun because it's so big! Also purgatory blues is a good song ;3
Wow, never knew this simple looking game could make me feel so much emotions. The surprise at the end was awsome. Love everything about it.
puurrrrrrrrfect
My wall, lol
my wall has a cat saying "f*ck" and the Owl House glyphs (it's on disney+ if you want to watch it it's a great show very funny but yeah)
hey niv, hey niv, hey niv,
can you please add an on screen keyboard to sign your name on mobile?
afaik it's the only thing stopping it from being mobile friendly, so, please.
please.
I never cried this much during a game oh my god ITS SO PEAK I CANT I CANT
This game was amazing! I loved the story, the puzzles, the game time, the art both the simple style in the beginning and the full on painting style in the end- I genuinely have never played a free game this good! The characters were amazing and I absolutely LOVED the constant puns. Overall this game was purrfect and all the devs should be purroud!
OMG I FRICKIN LOVED THIS GAME I WANTED IT TO BE LONGER UGHHHHHH AND THE CHARACTERS? LOVE EM! OLIVER IS A CUTIE, NATALIE AND TORI ARE SO FUNNY, SEAN IS SASSY, NUMA IS WEIRD WHICH I LOVE, KYUNGSOO IS ALSO WEIRD BUT SHES NICE TOO, ELIJAH IS SO SWEET AND I LOVE THAT HE WRITES POEMS I DO ALSO WRITE SOME AS A HOBBY. DID GET LOST A LOT? YES BUT I LOVED THE BACKGROUND, THE MUSIC AND ALL JUST WISH I CHANGED MY QUESTION TO LUCIFUR ALSO POOR CAT I DID FIND HIM RUDE LIKE THEY DID? SURE BUT HE JUST NEEDS FRIENDS
really wish there was a way to help him with his lonleyness also is there a way to change the font in these comments
incredible
so.. this game is really great, it has been a while that i giggles and shi while playing a game. the interactions are all SO funny and interesting but i kinda got lost in the place :) thank you for making this game.
I love every single one of them with all my heart, even lucifur. (he just a lonely very evil boy :3 )
IM NOT CRYING! UR CRYING!!
but fr this game is so PURR-fect it it by far one of my favorites <33333 my cat meowed every time Kyungsoon came on screen >:3333333333 its supper flippin' cute dude
man... how can i stay in purrgatory in the ending??
played this game for the first time like 3 years ago and it still holds a special place in my heart. got my little sister to play it too and shes loving it. Thanks for making this game :)
i indeed loved i
these characters are so endearing! loved playing this game,, might've cried a lil at the ending <3
The ending is peak. Beautiful. 15/7. Genuinely got me thinking about some real stuff. This will probably alter the course of my life in some way. Positively.
i finally finished with getting everyone across and that is SUCH a beautiful ending and game experience holy crap
Someone PLEASE tell me what the snowglobes were for (if anything)
and was I meant to get all the memories or purposely not have enough?
game was awesome though I called lucifur too early my first playthrough and got to actually experience everything on my second
snowglobes aren't important for main game, but you can put them on that weird thing at the bottom of the escalator that only goes up (you need 7)
same here
sorry oliver
i made my name "sean" on my save no-one playthrough, 10/10 "no, the other sean" execution
what's the screwdriver for </3
for the vent?
you're my goat actually i couldn't figure out how to get those two into heaven
