About

Aster is a talented mage who lives deep in the forest. Awkward and anti-social, he prefers poring over his potions to speaking with other people, and he’s at his happiest when he can conduct his strange magical experiments in peace.
Unfortunately for Aster, however, life isn’t that simple. Whilst working on a particularly potent potion, something peculiar happens. A black cat falls from Aster’s chimney, filling his home with soot.
In a moment of weakness, Aster decides to take the stray cat in. He’s always been more fond of animals than people, and having a catpanion hanging around the house might help brighten up his everyday life.
That’s what Aster thinks, at least…
Until he discovers the cute cat which fell down his chimney isn’t an ordinary cat at all. He is, instead, a young man called Blaise, who has been cursed to assume the form of a cat during the daytime.
Now, Aster has to try and help Blaise break this curious curse. If he doesn’t, Blaise will be stuck as a cat for all eternity, and Aster’s pride as a mage will be on the line. It’s just one simple curse, after all. How hard could it be to dispel it, really?
…The answer, as it turns out, is very.
This could just prove to be a cat-astrophe!

画风可爱,但是剧情、人物都太单薄太寡淡了,对不起这个价位。个人觉得个位数比较值。综合看来3/10吧
Yep, I prefer lesbians but it was nice. 8/10
欧洲幻想风味的短篇轻小说,一本道的小甜味,含糖量挺高。 50%off入手的话可能会更好。
the story spends a lot of time over explaining a lot of random details that dont even matter making it feel kinda longer than it needed to be. the main character is also not very likeable and treats his love interest like a punching bag throughout a large portion of the story and i get that its supposed to play into their dynamic but its a bit overboard at times and i think the characters could have been written better. by the second chapter i felt like i was trudging through the plot and really only felt that the third and final chapter was a worthwhile read. overall it has its occasional moments (also the UI and artstyle is adorable) but i was personally pretty dissatisfied with this vn
I adored every second of this! The storyline is incredibly sweet ♥ Also it works like a dream on the steamdeck
https://youtu.be/3m8OHvjVJrs Lacking choices, as normal for kinetic novels, as sweet as the story is or as cute as the visuals are there isn't much for the player to engage with outside of a quick read.
cute little visual novel :) art is really nice! music is pretty enjoyable too.
Head empty. Only criminally cute catboy <3 A puuurfectly adorable VN.
Cute little game. love the characters and it was just so sweet.
[h1] A Cozy Magical Delight [/h1] [i] My Confounding Cat is Criminally Cute! completely stole my heart [/i] From the moment the story begins, you’re wrapped in a warm, whimsical world filled with charm, humor, and just the right amount of magical chaos. The art is absolutely adorable—every scene is a visual treat, from the cozy cottage interiors to the expressive character sprites (yes, even the cat ears are top-tier cute). The story is sweet, funny, and surprisingly touching. Aster’s awkwardness is endearing, and Blaise’s snarky charm makes every interaction a joy to read. Watching their relationship slowly grow from mutual annoyance to something deeper was such a satisfying experience. It’s a quiet, gentle romance, but it never feels dull—just comforting, like a cup of tea on a rainy day. What really stands out is the care the developer put into this game. The writing, art, music, and overall atmosphere blend so well. And on top of that, the developer is super responsive and kind—quick to help with any issues, which just adds to the whole positive experience. This game is more than just cute—it’s genuinely heartwarming and memorable. If you’re into BL visual novels with strong characters, a fun magical premise, and plenty of adorable moments, this one is 100% worth it. [b] 10/10 - I didn’t expect to fall in love with a catboy and a wizard, but here we are [/b]
