About

Me and My Pet Cat is a short linear visual novel about tolerance, the sadness of being left behind, impossible dreams and an insolent little furball. Developed by Pallas Raven. The completed game was developed for the SuNoFes 2021 game jam.

Story

‘Today, just like every other day, it is time to take my cat for a walk. He’s been getting a little chubby recently so the vet recommended that I talk him for regular exercise. As a responsible owner I wouldn’t want him to suffer from any long-term health problems or else Ethan might be disappointed in me. He’ll be back soon I just know it. So I have to make sure everything is just how it was when he left, cat and all.’

Setting out towards the same park she goes to everyday with a spring in her step and irritated cat behind her, she will meet four strange people. Each one will confront her with their own problems and ask her to listen to them. However, can she accept them for who they are or will she choose to turn away from what she does not want to hear?

Can two people truly connect with one another when they no longer share the same dream?
