✦ AI summary
Players praise the game's charming aesthetic, emotional story with an effective plot twist, and its short, wholesome adventure about standing up for yourself. However, common complaints center on clunky platforming controls (especially the tree climbing sections), occasional technical bugs like malfunctioning lamps in the labyrinth, and one report of a severe crash to black screen on exit that locked the keyboard.
The labyrinth was impossible to get through and upon quitting to desktop, it crashed my PC and gave me black screen/locked out my keyboard. Don't install.3 found this helpful
Very cute looking game about a little furball who gets peer-pressured into finding a flower in the spooky woods. Along the way she learns to stand up for herself, and not let others push her around. [spoiler] She just learns it a bit too late [/spoiler] The game consists of some light exploring, some CLUNKY platforming, and a bunch of fetch quests. Besides the awkward jumping, the only issue I encountered was one of the lamps in the labyrinth didn't seem to work correctly, you had a limited time to get from one lamp to the next, which recharges your light, but it wasn't recharging, so I kept getting sent back to the start...after a few tries tho I guess it fixed itself and worked. I won in about 20min, and minor issues aside had a good time. I saw the plot twist coming a mile away tho [spoiler] was hoping it would be a "on the threshold, not over it" type of thing, but it wasn't :{ [/spoiler] Really nice job for a short student game!1 found this helpful
This game is absolutely amazing. Once you get used to the controls on the tree part, you can do pretty good at it. The ending has me sniffling because i am on my period and didn't look at the reviews for this game because I was just looking for good and free cat games and This is a good and free cat game I was not expecting the twist at the end and even played it a 2nd time to let it sink in.

I played this game with my son. I translated dialogues to him and he liked this short adventure however obviously he didn't understand sense of the ending. Also the part with jumping to the top of the tree was quite hard for him.1 found this helpful
