Ladies and gentlemen! 

Don't hesitate to play my very first yet charming little game!

The synopsis is quite simple:  you share a house with two talking animals. A humble dog and a cocky cat called Howard Fluffcraft. What happens, when a cat brings home an ancient relic? Nobody knows, except the cosmic Gods.

The game was made in 2 days, using TyranoBuilder. All the photographs, sounds, and music tracks used are taken from public domain resources. Texts, poetry, character sprites, and illustrations are my creations! 

P.S. Howard Fluffcraft and Tilda are my real-life pets.

P.P.S. I would be happy to know about your experience. Please, share your thoughts and screenshots!

First of all, I really like the part where you have to type the actual sentence that they said. It's pretty challenging if you did not pay attention to that, but overall it is a unique game mechanic that you have brought into your game. About the visuals: it's pretty cute, especially the entity itself. I hope to see your games soon and keep it up!!! God bless to ya.

Thank you for such an inspiring, sweet, and positive comment! I am endlessly grateful and smile from ear to ear! Your silent walkthrough is great and very useful, too. I will send it to friends who (for one reason or another) can't play the game itself. 

I am planning to make more games in the future, so-o, yeah, stay tuned! :3

A quite fun game. We laughed a lot and the idea is very good. My cat voiceacted Howard, it sounds cute. The typing challenge is a bit mean for people who don't have English as their mother tongue or aren't good at typing, but it's worth a try. The artifact and the goddess are sooo well-drawn like Howard and scared Tilda. We like both endings, they both made us grin.

Big thanks for your kind words and meaningful feedback! I am deeply touched and - honestly! - quite flattered! Watching your letsplay was a true pleasure <3 I've really enjoyed your comments and reactions! 

I know, that my game can get a bit annoying/stressful at times! Hopefully, you'll forgive me for this little experiment. 

Cheers for cats and dogs and lovecraftian gods!

Interesting game, I never realised it would be so challenging just repeating text, especially under a timer, took me quite a lot of attempts to complete the game. It was funny, especially seeing the being that you summoned.

You can't imagine how happy I am to receive not only great feedback but an amazing letsplay as well! Thank you a lot! "I welcome death" part made me laugh! Also - your voice-acting for Tilda is truly adorable. <3

I am sorry for being such a little sadist, introducing all those typing and spelling exercises into a simple Visual Novel...
