Game of the Month: Hustle Cat

[chrry]

You are Avery Grey, the newest employee at a popular cat cafe called A Cat’s Paw. The coffee’s good and the staff is friendly (and kinda cute!) but mysterious. One day, you find a strange book in the basement, with letters you can’t quite read...

You’ll work hard at A Cat’s Paw, but there’s still time to get to know your new coworkers! Who’s your favorite? The brusque, but devoted cook Mason? Or maybe Reese, the fashion-obsessed waiter who knows more than he says? And there’s always your strange-eyed boss, the enigmatic Graves.

Hustle Cat was already chosen as game of the month on the old community, otomeworld. So I'm going to take the liberty to quote what the original admin wrote about the game, because unlike me, they actually played the game:

Hustle Cat is an interesting game about a protagonist who works at a cafe in which everyone is cursed to be, well, cats. To be fair, they signed a contract---probably should've read the fine print.

There are four male love interests and two female love interests. The protagonist's gender/pronouns can be configured any way you wish. [...] you get to choose what they look like, although it's from a limited selection.

The game itself is rather short and takes about 11 hours to beat all the routes, so it shouldn't be too long for those who are busy.

I didn't expect it to be that short, maybe I can find the motivation and give it a try this month... 🤔

Anyone else has played? Tell us about it ♥

...I really love the background for this month, the kitties are so cuuuute. <3

I haven't had time to play more but I'm still in the middle of Finley's route, and Finley is great. I love her character and how they've deliberately tried to give her different facets (she's a gamer and a youtuber and a makeup artist!).

I think one thing that I find interesting about this game is how distinct Avery feels. It feels more like being a spectator than self-inserty. (There was one scene in Finley's route, for instance, where I was just like, AVERY NO.)
