When I played Vol. 0, I made the joke that I had many unanswered questions regarding the existence and status of catfolk in this world. I fully expected it to just be glossed over or handwaved, to be honest. Now I just feel like a fool.

Imagine my genuine surprise when the mental checklist of out-there, absurd worldbuilding requests I planned to joke about was slowly ticked off throughout the game. Things like the view of catfolk/human relationships, the rate of aging, catfolk's status in society, whether or not catfolk and people can reproduce, etc. Why would a cutesy eroge bother even mentioning any of this, I thought? Hence why my absurdist review would mark that as a faux complaint. But it's all there, and as subtly horrific as it should be. And I love that.

In all seriousness, it's very cute. The ero scenes are whatever, I'd honestly say not to bother spending the extra cash on em if you're on the fence about it. Ultimately, though, it's your call whether you want this as a hardcore eroge or a cutesy romance story. I can respect the fact that it caters to both crowds.

I’ll say the emote engine is quite the… interesting thing. Everything is super animated and there’s a ridiculous amount of detail in terms of overall presentation of the graphics. Mashing the P button is entertaining.

As for the VN itself.. I guess it wasn’t bad? Chocola and Vanilla weren't bad characters and in fact were likable. The MC was super forgettable.

I feel like the VN was basically preaching CATGIRLS ARE MOE YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT the whole time. I don't mind moe stuff but I guess I don't particularly dislike or like catgirls so I couldn't get into it as much. Still I guess it was short and there was some funny scenes and it kinda sorta built a world based on catgirls being the norm in a fun enough way.
