What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Purrgatory is a charming, narrative-driven game with lovable characters and a deceptively simple premise that offers surprising emotional depth, according to players. The cute art style and character development are praised as standout features, though some note the experience is relatively brief at a few hours long. Players express genuine affection for the game and recommend it to anyone seeking a touching, character-focused story.

A pleasant VN puzzle game. Something I'd play and enjoy off of itch.io. Don't really wanna say more about the story itself, since it's more about the characters, though I do wish the game had a dark mode option. It's either blinding white or slightly off-white. (Though I know they can't really do a dark mode cause of an in-game need.) There really isn't much to say apart from: I liked it :D. Characters were good, writing was alright but snappy, and whole premise is very touching. Plus hey; it's free, so not much reason to NOT try it, right?

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.
