Fun and interesting game with charming visual style and an interesting mechanic that I will define as "adaptive difficulty". The more you die, the stronger you become, and each enemy gives you a power up according to itself, so you can better deal with that kind of enemy specifically. However, if you die enough, the game gives you the option of switching the playstyle from the passive dodging and timing style of the cat form, to a more action oriented playstyle with the humanoid form. This also has consequences in the story (which in itself is nothing crazy, but it's good enough in giving a motivation for Kuon to overcome death basically). Both styles are fun enough and depending on the difficulty you choose (dying 9 times only, dying 9 times and resetting each level, or infinite lives) it can be fun to see which skills you end up getting depending on what kills you. That being sad the game isn't challenging enough in a baseline level imo, and with skills you get OP easily. Aside from combat, exploration is fun also. The levels change a bit depending if you are in cat form (you can crawl, have special platforms, and can dodge easier) or humanoid (you are encouraged to kill everything in your path). Exploring the map rewards you with the upgrades to both your combat performance, and your exploration capabilities also. And finally, the artstyle and music are amazing. This applies to pretty much everything, including levels, bosses, and specially Kuon itself. You can really tell they studied cats and how they move and sound. They really nailed the feeling of being a little cat trying to survive in the afterlife (or overcome it with raw strength). In conclusion: It's a fun, charming and interesting game. WIth interesting mechanics that sadly weren't deep enough in their design imo. I can see so much potential untapped, but for what it is, it's a really solid platforming experience, specially if you love cats!

The first screen is actually an unresponsive controller mapping screen, and it will forget the buttons you input during gameplay. The levels are full of cheap kills, and every hit leads to a long-ass cutscene that disrupts the gameplay. No time to learn a moveset or watch enemy behavior, just a series of moments to make you feel like you messed up and aren't allowed to play.

演出やシステムがおもしろい！ ダッシュですり抜けられないのかすり抜けられるのかわかりづらく被弾が多くなった

実績コンプまでやりこんだ感想 ＊実績コンプしたのが、結構前なので思い出して書いてます。 ・ゲームデザインや雰囲気に刺されて購入。難易度的には、このゲームはミスをすればするほど、主人公は強くなるし、ノーミスでいれば難易度は上がるものなので得意/不得意関係なく、遊べる感じです。主人公の形態によって、いける/いけない場所があったり、エンドが複数あるのでやりこみ要素はあるじゃないかなと思う。実績に関して、情報が少ないのでコンプまでは苦労した記憶があった。（現在は情報が豊富かもしれない）ストーリーに関してはネタバレを控えるため、特になし。

Very underrated game. I enjoyed playing it and I think the game really had an impact on me. The art direction and soundtracks are really good! The only issues I think is that there's basically no hints whatsoever about which bad ending you might get without the help of an online guide (if you want to complete all endings, which is a requirement for the hidden ending). Getting the hidden ending is very time consuming and aside from the steam success, it isn't really worth it SPOILER : (it adds an extra scene in the best ending)

So this game is hard to describe, you can sort of play it like a stealth game in the sense of trying to not get hit, or try to play it as a megaman game, earning powerups when you die. However the best ending requires the first option. Might seem difficult at first, however you can gain upgrades that carry over to NG+. If you're going for the true ending, that will require 9/10 playthroughs, which you should have all, if not most the upgrades by then. This game is pretty unique in the sense that every level had to be designed to be beat while in cat form and while in human form. Instead of just making 1 generic level both could platform through. Most people seem to prefer the combat human form has to offer, I personally preferred playing as the cat and dodging everything. This is one of those games that I thought i would dislike, but ended up really enjoying it. However due to its unique style choices, you will either love it or hate it. It is meant to be played multiple times. I will admit, it is not extremely long, but long enough 9/10 playthroughs sounds a bit to much even for me. (tooks me about 2 hours while rushing through everything in human form)

cool game

美术风格比较独特。游戏机制上与同社先前的作品和常见的横版动作游戏相比可以说是很有新意了，通过失去生命数来换取能力，是直接送命进入最强形态还是用没有任何额外能力的状态挑战到最后几乎是完全不同的玩法体验，也给出了对应的不同结局。但是不知道为什么操作手感上又比同社的其他游戏又差了一些，有点可惜。

良かった点 ①猫好きに刺さる設定 ②カッコいいけどどこか物悲しいボスたち 気になった点 中断セーブがない

令人失望的垃圾,要不是超過2個禮拜我早退費了
