About Instinct

It’s so nice to live with the person you like, to have everything necessary for a good life, to depend on yourself and have a good time.
Up till recently my wonderful life of leisure in the pet store ran its natural course, when suddenly a weird bozo appeared in the house. Why did Mistress hire him? Usually she doesn’t fancy strangers in the least. And we were doing well without his help anyway.
Sometimes it feels far too suspicious to me.
I’ll find out the truth behind it and make him disappear. Or maybe not…
  • every resident of the house has a secret
  • option to form a relationship either with a female (yuri) or with a male
  • option to end the game without a romantic relationship
  • In-game choices change the ending
  • 1080p window & full screen options
Ginger – a playful, mischievous and sometimes arrogant cat who works at the pet store. She is endlessly thankful to her Mistress, who saved her from death’s clutches, so she does her best to be as helpful as she can. The government is hunting down the cats like Ginger, allegedly to save their population. But in fact they need these creatures for a totally different reason…Evelyn – the owner of the pet store. At a glance, Evelyn can be taken for a successful entrepreneur. She is often away for business. She comes back home late and drops on her bed to fall asleep instantly. If you look closer however, everything will turn out to be much more complicated...Christian – a weird guy, who appeared in the store not too long ago. Settled down in a small closet on the ground floor. Fulfills his duties to a T. Drinks a lot of coffee and always has his smartphone on hand. There’s definitely something behind his ominous gaze…

Honestly i have no idea how i came to own this game but it was not very good, Every route was super dark and all the women talk like they were written by men, The art work was good though.

Bland, but not bad. Could hold people's attention for a few hours. Neutral option, if it was possible.

Catgirl lives with her rescuer. New guy suddenly moves in. Troubles ensue. And if you make the right choices, love might blossom. Decent.

Way WAY steamier than I anticipated, NSFW so watch out lol, that aside, I didn't like either of the love interests, for different reasons, and yet I fell in love with Ginger's love for them, her feelings read very sincerely and that made it a good game. Aside from that I feel like the fanservice for ladies vs men was unequal, the girls were crazy busty and portrayed like porn stars, which because I didn't realise it was nsfw at first was uncomfortable lol, but the male love interest not so much? Even in a scene where we see him almost sanz shirt he's pretty much just there to hold ginger down so she can take poses where she's being 'dominated' ginger shines in his scenes not him.

Instinct is a narrative-focused visual novel that combines romance, mystery, and mature storytelling into an engaging experience built around secrets, emotional conflict, and personal discovery. Developed by VNeroGAMEs and published by TsunamiGames, the game introduces players to Ginger, a cat-like girl whose ordinary routine at a pet store begins to unravel after the arrival of a mysterious employee named Christian. His sudden appearance raises questions that slowly transform an otherwise peaceful setting into one filled with uncertainty, hidden motives, and conspiracies that extend far beyond the walls of the shop. The story successfully creates an atmosphere where every conversation feels meaningful, encouraging players to uncover the truth one decision at a time. The strongest aspect of Instinct is its character-driven narrative. Ginger serves as a relatable protagonist whose curiosity mirrors that of the player, while the supporting cast is layered with enough ambiguity to keep the mystery compelling. Christian remains difficult to read throughout much of the adventure, making every interaction feel unpredictable, while Evelyn, the pet store owner, presents herself as calm an…

[h1]WASTED TIME[/h1] Dirt cheap, easy to get all achievements, and has yuri path. I could not find more positives about Instinct. It's simply not a good Visual Novel. Story-wise it's nothing special. Typical romance with mystery elements. Boring and predictable. Main character and her romance options are no better. We barely know anything about oursleves, our world or people around. You simply can't tell a good romance story if your characters are flat as a board... It's literally few walking cliches talking about random stuff. Go from one ecchi scene to another. Visually - the game is solid for it's price. CGs are a little bit wonky sometimes (weird body proportions), but it's not super noticeble. There's adult patch that you can download, but it won't make the game better, even if you're looking for something cheap to unwind :) Overall, I can't recommend Instinct. It's simply not a good game.
