purrgatory for Windows

Free visual novel game

Purrgatory is a visual novel adventure game that lets you play in an afterlife where you explore and pass time like nothing really matters. The game is developed by Niv who created it as a classic point-and-click game that looks and feels like escape-the-room titles, but with more peaceful graphics.

In the game, you get to befriend seven characters and live in an environment that is designed in an artistic intentional sketchiness and black and white. The characters of the game have their own distinct personalities before you even speak to them, making them all equally unique and interesting.

Perfectly designed

Aside from the visuals of the character design, purrgatory entrances you with ambient music that fits perfectly with the theme of the game. Some players may find it annoying that there is no way they can travel fast because there are no shortcuts, but in a way, it makes sense since this is the afterlife and the characters literally have forever to waste.

The game also offers a lot of puzzles that are all enjoyable, paired with easy-to-understand mechanics. All of the puzzles required its players to think, but not too hard or unfair that it would turn you off. Moreover, the puzzles are well-integrated into the story of the game, since they’re essential to interact with the characters rather than obstacles you need to solve to advance in the game.

On top of that, the writing itself is witty and the dialogue flows naturally. The characters were established well, and their personalities were presented properly. Additionally, the game offers multiple endings, making it highly replayable. One downside of the game is that it’s a bit heavy, so it may crash from time to time. However, it can easily be ignored because of its magnetic storyline.
