Not actively bad but average at best. The writing is passable but the scenario is kind of shallow and the fantasy elements do not really add anything to the theme of self and social acceptance. Many of the characters look like there is something wrong with their necks or like their faces were pasted onto existing illustrations. I have no idea what the note Eiko reads in the ending is about. I guess it is something...

Relatively easy 100% achievos, but negative because: - Issues with not getting achievos and having to delete files to fix it - Did not really feel like story was all that interesting

This is a good first attempt. But in no way sufficient. The technical aspect is clearly lackluster. The game doesn't have a fast forward, history or auto-read. I makes subsequent playthrough a bit annoying. And no, unity is not designed for a visual novel. I know that some things are easier to do with it than with a game engine like Ren'Py, but the constraint are quite annoying : 200MB of ram ? really ? 64b system...

A Wild Catgirl Appears is a really short - and not very well done - visual novel with a centering theme on female homosexuality. Yup, this is a Yuri title. I would really like to recommend this game, considering there aren't many otome visual novels that would even include same sex romance options and a game focusing on female homosexuality sounds like a concept to be supported - if only it would be better executed...

What is this monstrosity!? EDIT: I gave the game a second go since it got overhauled. Now I can say that isn't a total mess anymore. Still can't recommend it, but it ain't that bad anymore :) Okay, lets make it short. -Looking at the content: I can say that this is just an uncreative VN. The story is just too simple and childish (There is 0 creativity in it). -About the gameplay: The only thing you'll find is that...

You can see the big thumb down on top of this review. Well… I usually don’t give visual novel thumb down as game play is not important, graphics is not important, and even fan service is not important. What’s important for Visual novel is actually story plot. This game talk about two hand drawn cat girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere in this life of the main protagonist. Some small event later game end and you...

I don't want to give this a thumbs down due to the fact that I did get enjoyment out of it, but I will be mentioning the problems I had with it before the things I liked, mainly so we can END on a good note. A lot of these things are issues noted in previous reviews, but I felt a lot of them seemed a tad on the aggressive side, so let me try my hand at this. -The art is really inconsistent. The basic conversation...

So . . . where to begin, where to begin. No, I don't recommend this game is the short answer. A Wild Catgirl Appears is a (very) short, yuri VN. I suppose. One girl is a catgirl. Well, 2 are. They are female, though, so I guess that still makes it yuri, right? I mean, you play as a female human. A redhead apparently. But you're Japanese? It's unclear. And that's where the issues started for me. The character...

Playing through this game was PAINFUL, even by North American indie visual novel standards. The story is badly structured, bizarrely paced, riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, inhabited by a world of uninteresting characters, and is juvenile in its treatment of the issue it attempts to address. Since the plot barely exists, I'll keep the synopsis short: The protagonist is a gay girl who joins a coding club...

TL;DR: Ami's coming out story is short but quite relatable. Her story is a good first attempt at creating a VN and is fairly priced. I'm looking forward to more of the author's games. NOTE: Please keep in mind the game was updated and redone in Ren'Py. Some things mentioned in older reviews (saves don't work, display issues, lacking full screen, etc ) have been fixed along with a new character and route being...
