Hustle Cat

I wanted to like the game but it left me disappointed. (Spoliers ;;) The game had a nice plot though it lazily explained the reasoning for the main conflict. And the endings didn't really have that much variety. You get to choose how things go until a certain point in which it doesn't even give you choices anymore. Characters/love interests were dry as hell. You could barely even form a connection with the characters because of the fast pacing. (The game likes to time-skip). Mason was probably the only one that actually delve into their story but the others were just...there. The secret-love interest - Grave, was the only part of the game that actually explained the whole reasoning for the conflict and why it was happening but even that made no sense. Grave, despite being older than the MC relied heavily on them despite he only knowing MC for a short time. And Nacht, the main antagonist, supposedly the past lover of Grave was barely talked about through the story until near the ending where he actually approaches you. MC pissed me off. That twink could barely do anything without help despite them literally studying magic the whole game. And the glitches really pissed me off, the frame-rate would buffer during some scenes even going as far as crashing the whole game completely. And after the crash if you didn't save at that exact spot you were on you'd loose your progress. Endings were rushed, it was the same formula with every love interest. The MC doesn't even turn fully into a cat. Not worth 20 dollars in my opinion. ^^

Absolutely charming game. Lovely characters all the way round, the ost is wonderful too. The only thing i'd wish for is more save slots, even though the autosave feature is very helpful. i just want to save all the cute moments and visit them whenever haha.

Super cute game. Love the art and the premise and the cats. I did LOL a few times at the humorous writing. I did have to restart my game halfway through, because it forcibly decided my love interest for me, based on whom I'd been friendliest with (?). Apparently being platonically friendly with home girl was a no-no if I don't swing that way (which I don't). So I restarted and was RUDE to her, and all went swimmingly from there.

I originally played this game in 2021, but now that I have my own Stem account I bought it just to play it again. I adore Hustle Cat so much, and will happily throw money at these developers if it means I can have another game like this. Hayes and Landry are my absolute favorites btw, and I would buy merch if there was any. I'm so happy this game exists!!

I found all the characters likeable. All of them!
