My Confounding Cat is Criminally Cute
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Aster is a talented mage who lives deep in the forest. Awkward and anti-social, he prefers poring over his potions to speaking with other people, and he’s at his happiest when he can conduct his strange magical experiments in peace.
Unfortunately for Aster, however, life isn’t that simple. Whilst working on a particularly potent potion, something peculiar happens. A black cat falls from Aster’s chimney, filling his home with soot.
In a moment of weakness, Aster decides to take the stray cat in. He’s always been more fond of animals than people, and having a catpanion hanging around the house might help brighten up his everyday life.
That’s what Aster thinks, at least…
Until he discovers the cute cat which fell down his chimney isn’t an ordinary cat at all. He is, instead, a young man called Blaise, who has been cursed to assume the form of a cat during the daytime.
Now, Aster has to try and help Blaise break this curious curse. If he doesn’t, Blaise will be stuck as a cat for all eternity, and Aster’s pride as a mage will be on the line. It’s just one simple curse, after all. How hard could it be to dispel it, really?
…The answer, as it turns out, is very.
This could just prove to be a cat-astrophe!

It's such a fun game! so light-hearted and adorable. the writing is really pleasant and I love the main couple, they are so cute and I like the way their relationship develops but also them as individuals. I feel like each character has a lot of things that make them stand out and separate them from any one trope, or even play to the advantage of a trope. It's just really good. also, the art style is so cute and I'm really enjoying the music too. everything about the game matches perfectly!
also I love that it comes with an apk file ... mobile game works perfectly and I love playing in bed and on my phone in general
I loved this game so much! The story is great with fun characters who all have their own unique personalities and feel very fleshed out! (even the more minor characters) I also loved how everything was resolved very neatly with a super sweet ending, and just the story in general was so good! It really managed to convey the emotions of the characters well and the reactions and dialogue all felt right with characters reacting realistically, the art was also amazing, I love Ekkoberry's style! Its really just so charming (especially the little hair highlights idk why but I just really love them) I also loved the dynamic created with the constant bickering slowly becoming more fond as the story continued and the two opened up to each other!
Overall I just really loved this game! I was a little uncertain about getting it as I dont buy games very often but it was defiantly worth it!
I bought this hoping for something fun, something light-hearted, something maaaaaybe a bit silly that'd make me smile, and oh lord did I get that and more 💞
Had an absolute blast reading this; the art was of course lovely (it's Ekkoberry, after all), the music set a great tone throughout, but most of all it was the story and Aster and Blaise's relationship and interactions that won me over. They had a really natural back-and-forth throughout, and didn't feel rushed or forced at any point. (Also, a special shout-out goes to Charmaine and her perfect 'sweet gremlin' energy)
There were plenty of moments that made me laugh or snort out loud, and the finale was sweet without being saccharine. It was genuinely just a really good time, and I absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for something wholesome and full of warm and fluffy feelings <3
Aw thank you very much! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far!
Blaise is a human who was cursed to take the form of a cat, he is not initially a cat haha ;;;
And yes, Ekkoberry's art is very cute! I'm really happy with how it all looks!
Yeah, I watched it and now in the mids of watching your second video you made 12 hours ago and I must thank you Clock, thanks to you I found this game and a new youtuber to watch. ❤️
