this is genuinly one of the best games ive ever played. and easily one of the best horror games ive played. it is just such a good game. everything from the story to the soundtrack (the one that plays at various parts like the forest after hopping of the bus). 10 dollars well deserved
(no spoilers) An absolutely amazing chapter 1! I don't even know where to begin- the story, the characters, the pacing, the mini games, the atmosphere and overall feeling of the game- incredible!! I love everything!
First of all I love the story, it's interesting and it's been presented so well, like the pacing is just really good. The characters are charming too, especially our MC Lacie, she's a gem <3 I love how some of the puzzles have multiple solutions which is so cool! And I noticed a lot of small details here and there which made interacting with the world and characters really fun and memorable <3 Speaking of the world, there was like 4 or 5 different locations in the entire game and I was like, isn't this a demo??? 4 to 5 locations, each being SO BIG- and it's only a demo!!??? BRUH This could have been the whole game and I wouldn't have been surprised, it was so long and so well made!! The locations were all so interesting, I really loved the last one and the place which had rabbits <3 Now, last but DEFINITELY NOT least! The art and music!!! AAAAAAAAA THE ART IS SO PRETTY I HAVE SO MANY SCREENSHOTS YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!! I adore every damn pixel of every damn scene, just beautiful! The music... I don't even have any words to describe it.... all the tracks fit their scenes so well, the game is already good but the music made it THAT much more memorable and lovely <3 Can't wait to listen to the entire ost on loop while I do stuff xD overall 10/10 can't wait to replay and hunt for things I may have missed on the first run!
(SPOILERS!!) Hiro is so sweet for being there for Lacie T^T but... how come he's the ONLY person that's been there for her... is it just me or is that kinda suspicious? ... hmm what if he's nice to her because he knows why she's cursed? what if... Hiro is the one that placed the curse on her in the first place?? .... I hope not T^T I want to believe Hiro is just a really good brother T^T also I simply could not figure out how to make the candle and broken lamp into a lamp lacy could carry through the dark forest. I gave up and just walked in, used the cell phone light. Then after discovering the dead hunter's skeleton, the phone ran out of charge. So I ended up walking through the rest of the maze in the dark xD idk HOW I did it but I somehow reached some fence at used the bolt cutter (from Rune) to cut through the fence and get out, I swear I had no idea where I was going. I somehow got out through sheer luck lmao Also! Miss Knives!! T^T I saw her back story and bruh it was so sad T^T I feel so bad for her... I hope she'll be fine now T^T I wonder who this Lilith is.. also why didn't Sai leave with us... I hope we see him again!
yep! you can, but you need to be standing in front of the fence, then use the bolt cutter on it from the items menu. You can get the bolt cutter after giving Rune some runes, I forgot how many you need to give him to get the bolt cutter, shouldn't be more than 3 though.
Yeah, we need to give Rune two runestones at the tree house. But to cross the blockade, it is recommended that you do not change the bolt cutters, keep one, and you can exchange some important tools with the runes in the backOwO
i love this game so much!!! im so sad it doesn't have a big fanbase so i cant scream about it to anyone... i kinda relate to lacie as well, so that makes me love it even more LOL i hope this game grows a loooot in the future ! ! ! ! ! can't wait for more chapters
I played this not knowing that it is Project Kat's sequel lol. Fantastic game, love the visuals and the puzzles. It seemed to be less of a horror game and more of an adventure game compared to its predecessor. Not exactly a bad thing. But if you are want to go for more of a horror feel, IMO, the battle scenes isn't really working out. I also love the character of Miss Knives. SPOILERS BELOW
I'm assuming that Lacie is kinda like Miss Knives? Is she a 'witch' as well that is possessed or cursed by a demon? Were they possessed by the same demon, Lilith? I'm also suspecting that Sai can't leave or that he lost his letter.....
this game is honestly amazing in almost every way I can imagine, from the storytelling, the characters, the world building, puzzles & soundtrack.
my only two problems were the painting lady ( which is the reason I gave up completing the demo ) she catches up way too fast in a way that's almost kind of insane- I understand it could be a me problem but I played it so many times to the point it is engrained in my memory ; and with this tied in also comes the movement in the character, the character moves fine if you want it to move a tiny bit to one side or the other but if you want to walk normally, it doesn't pick up on the pressing of the keys correctly, if you press for a while and stop to where you want it to stop, 9/10 it will continue going before walking into a wall and walking in place unlike every game out there, doesn't matter what game you play you can press hard on the button or lightly and it'll move- and stop when you stop pressing it but here it doesn't do that ??
other than this, this game is phenomenal and beautifully crafted and you can just see the love, care and thought that was placed into it so delicately- I am definitely looking forward to playing more of it. :)
Although I haven't had much of a problem escaping the painting lady, I do agree that there should've been a way to skip the chase all together like how other puzzles and events are skippable. Honestly, I feel like there should've been a way to use the lighter or something on the painting to skip the chase or maybe slow it down to make it more easier to do.
Yes 100% agree ! Actually you can use the lighter on the painting but it doesn't slow her down at all, it doesn't really do anything, so it's better to take her eye and try to complete the run than to use the lighter where you're left with nothing. Hopefully they can make her pace a little more adaptable in the future or can make her pace change during moments, like making her go fast on the straight halls but go a little slower on the corners. :)
Instead of just having a flat out option for it to be skippable, I personally hope that there would be a catch to it, where using the lighter would skip the chase scene while using something like a knife would make the chase easier but that it would prevent the eye from being obtain. Which should really matter since there are two other places to obtain another eye.
an amazing experience of an RPG Game i had in a while. The soundtrack is amazing. The atmosphere is Mysterious. The Art is amazing. an amazing 2 Hour Experience that all Rpg maker player can cherish. Definitely a must play if u like Omori,Undertale Yume Nikki and Ib.
The Puzzles is easy and simple. the Enemy (the shadow that spawn) is my only downside of the game. the shadow just stand and block ur path so u just need to keep rejoining the room just to make it disappear. Aside from that there really is nothing to complain. the fight for Mrs Knife is also quite challenging but it is still a fun experience
The devs haven’t exactly confirmed why it’s a demo, but another possibility is that they call it that because so far Ch.1 only has 1 ending. The next update will introduce a few more (around 10 I think
This is the best and longest game I have ever played. Props to the people who worked on this. I can't wait for chapter 2 to come out. I am amazed by the story line and also the amount of effort on the details they made. Thank you for creating this master piece!
can someone tell me how to unflood the pathways? (at the part with the fuses) I solved the math thingy and got the gate open but can't figure out how to unlock the doors or unflood anything and I'm stuck lol. I absolutely adore this game tho and don't wanna quit!
This game was enjoyable, even though it's quite challenging. To be honest, towards the end of the game, there was a boss fight that proved to be the most difficult thing I've ever encountered in a game. Surprisingly, even though that fight was just sucks I'm eagerly looking forward to Chapter 2!
iM SO HAPPYY!! I love this game since Project Kat!!
everything is so perfect! i love the graphics, the scenarios, the characters! (Sai, i love him) keep the good work, i´ll always make fanarts of this masterpiece!
Kat was much better character than this blonde girl, I didn't even remember her name how boring she is. And yes I skipped the final battle. I finished the game 5 minutes ago and I already forget a name of main hero. God how boring she was. What's her name -- Lilly?
The patterns are the same, so it's just muscle memory. The course of action would be to try to memorise them. The majority of people passed the final battle, it is tested.
As for the rest of your comments: This game, let alone this first chapter are not even finished yet, you are playing an "early" version of it. There are a lot of unused items as of now and different routes to take as well. Instead of complaining about the "unused" items try to make up your mind how you might use it for a different future route ;) Or alternatively wait for the full release of it, then these issues hopefully won't exist anymore.
Please for any future games and such, read the description. A lot of developers warn players that the game might not be finished and still has unused features etc.
God the game is so frustrating. If you make such hard game, at least make official walk-trough too. Why there are so many unused items, what's the point? A wait number ticked, a candle from a statue, potato chips, a bucket, valves and so on.
The game needs much more clear objectives and item descriptions. Plus mini-games are too hard, what is point to add them if the only way to pass it skipping them? Like some mini-games require reaction time less than 1 second.
And please remove Sai from the game, he is way too clingy.
Other than the number ticket or the bucket which would probably have a purpose in the full release, every other item you mention serves a purpose as another route/path.
The candle is part of a route as a way to skip finding the keys and doing that dark forest area and the valves is way to drain the water instead of having to solve the elevator problem. There are also several other item that have uses too, the only exception are the ticket, the bucket, and the fish. Assuming that the fireplace puzzle is difficult for you, I doubt that you will understand how to do the potion route and most likely missed the majority of characters in the forest.
Plus, other than the several chases in the game, I don't see any of the mini-games being that difficult and that it's probably the device you're playing on is slow or that it's just you. Either way, if this is considered to be a hard game for you, then you haven't played many horror RPG games.
The game isn't so hard, you just need to understand things and use your brain, the objectives are pretty clear if you use your brain, Sai is an amazing character, hell, maybe he's clingy, but the fact that he didn't sacrifice us was a good thing, removing him would pretty much destroy the game, as he was there to help the mc that she could change, and him feeling comfortable with her was something new for her, as only her brother had felt that way with her.
The minigames are fun, they might be complicated, but, that's what makes them so fun, you can always skip them if you are not good enough to beat them. Potato chips are used on so many ways, the bucket is also useful, valves are pretty important too. If it's too hard for you, you can always just quit or follow a guide, I've seen good guides online.
I love the game so much!! my only problem is that my saved file got corrupted?? I was halfway through the game and I dont think I want to restart my progress. Anyone knows how to solve this??
The game isn't actually that long since it is a demo so it would be easier to restart. Don't know about what is causing the save file to get corrupted, but pretty sure it would just take longer to fix that. Plus, since this game is just a demo, you would still going to have to restart for the other routes and endings.
I really enjoy playing this game, hope in the future it will be expanded to many different languages so that people who are not good at English like me can understand and explore the plot of the game. I hope you can create game mods with some languages such as Vietnamese, Japanese, Indonesian, .. Because I'm Vietnamese, I hope you will create mods with Vietnamese storyline to I can explore it again!! (I had to use Google translate to type these lines.) ;^;
Alright, I really hope the developers will see this. Bugs and suggestions all considering the save:
If you have both Paper Lily ch1 (Itch) and Project Kat (Steam version in my case), the saves from Paper Lily gets into Project Kat, and the saves from Project Kat can get into Paper Lily's save slots. Now, that comes with one of the biggest problems I have with the game. Paper Lily save slots getting duplicated into Project Kat wasn't that much of a nuisance, because Project Kat had ~20 slots, but Paper Lily ch1 only had 3. I've lost my newest save because of that. I don't get why Paper Lily ch1 had so little slots than Project Kat (a much shorter game). Paper Lily ch1 is much larger in scale and richer in content, if you are more of a side quest do-er like me.
So, please, fix the saves, add more saves. Or why not just make it 20 like Project Kat.
And they did mention on their Twitter (X) that PL will get 30 save slots just like PK. The save you lost is probably just somewhere in the save files folder.
I’m not on my PC so I can’t exactly find it, but if you’re on Windows, then press Windows+R and type in %appdata% or %localappdata% (I’m not sure which one) And search for Paper Lily or Leef6010, in which should be a folder named saves. Note that PK saves are in the same folder as PL.
This was just as wonderful as Project Kat! It felt more polished though- I have recorded my playthrough on my YouTube channel, below is part one! I still have 2 or 3 to edit, but those will come out soon!
Okay, I love this game but one thing that kind of drives me away from it is the chase scene with the lady in the painting at all. I know I might be the only one who is thinking like this but it was so fruasting for me I had to stop playing the game and watch a gameplay so I don't act in anger. Other than that the story and everything else is good and interesting.
The newer comments don’t really adress it anymore, but it was pretty hard for most people (including me), but the devs said the next update will have an option to skip it (probably like the spike minigames)
That's a bit disappointing, was hoping for something more specific to avoid the chase, such as using something on the painting to prevent or slow down the chase drastically. I get that some minigames have the option to skip, but I feel like there could be some alternative way to skip it instead of having a skip button.
Edit/PS: Especially when there is actually an option in-game where you can use the knife or lighter on the painting, however for some reason it just triggers the same chase but does not give you the eye.
Knowing how there are a total of 3 possible eyes to get, I feel like it the lighter would let the player skip the chase while the knife could do something unique and that taking the eye is just the regular option.
I've never left a review on a game before, but this game was absolutely amazing!! I adored every second of it. The puzzles were fun to do, and something I really, really appreciated was that certain things, like the final fight scene, were able to be skipped. I wish more games would do this as well! I also love the story, the art, and the characters! They were all so interesting, I can't wait to learn about them. I'm so excited to see how the story will progress, and I will definitely be playing chapter 2 when it releases!
oh, my bad! I didn't realize chapter 1 wasn't complete, but I will still definitely be playing all of the chapters of this game even if they take a while to release! :3
I thoroughly enjoyed Project Kat and Paper Lily. It took me about four hours to complete Paper Lily and it was easily the highlight of my week.
I love that the puzzles can sometimes be bruteforced and solved in different ways because I am very bad at them. I had some trouble finding a couple of items (cough, fourth blessing, cough) but other than that I thought the game was very well balanced, so that a non-gamer could still intuitively complete it. The combat sequences were very challenging but not so much that they were frustrating. They took me many tries and it was so satisfying to finally complete them. You got it just right.
Like many others here, I created an account just to write a review. You did an outstanding job and I'm looking forward to chapter 2. I told my friends about your games too!
Although I'm just speculating since the demo of Chapter 1 (as in Chapter 1 is not even complete yet) includes Windows, Linux, and macOS. Therefore, it should be likely.
The itch.io version of Project Kat is the same one as the Steam version, I sent both image. The itch.io download and the Steam recent update are both v1.4.1. Hence, Project Kat is also on Windows, Linux, and MacOS resulting in that it isn't only on Steam.
OUGHH this game was so good, the characters the story the art everything!!! i enjoyed it so much i really hope chapter 2 comes out soon :3 ( but no rush ofc !!)
I actually made an account just to say wow, this game is so beautiful, so intriguing, so colorful and so fun! Love the puzzles and the characters you meet, the dialogue and interactions are on point, the story was amazing, some parts are sad and had me lowkey in tears, and other parts had me laughing, small things like the coin with the vending machine gave me the giggles! ''SPOILER ALERT'' Miss Knives was a great character and her illusionary dream home was a very cool idea, and i got a theory upon getting caged by Miss Knives, after she took us captive i just stared at my ride along (sai) which is also caged, and i realized something, the way he is sitting in that cage, his red hood, black pants and shoes, i just knew ive seen this guy before meeting him in the facility, and at the end when i left through the door, my theory was kinda confirmed and i was MIND BLOWN! Wont spoil more for people who didnt notice, i think a ton of people missed this!
I cant wait for what's next, i pray that you guys stay motivated to make tons of these games! WHAT A TREAT!!!!

Production team come on!!OvO
this is genuinly one of the best games ive ever played. and easily one of the best horror games ive played. it is just such a good game. everything from the story to the soundtrack (the one that plays at various parts like the forest after hopping of the bus). 10 dollars well deserved

I love how some of the puzzles have multiple solutions which is so cool! And I noticed a lot of small details here and there which made interacting with the world and characters really fun and memorable <3
Speaking of the world, there was like 4 or 5 different locations in the entire game and I was like, isn't this a demo??? 4 to 5 locations, each being SO BIG- and it's only a demo!!??? BRUH This could have been the whole game and I wouldn't have been surprised, it was so long and so well made!! The locations were all so interesting, I really loved the last one and the place which had rabbits <3
Now, last but DEFINITELY NOT least! The art and music!!! AAAAAAAAA THE ART IS SO PRETTY I HAVE SO MANY SCREENSHOTS YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!! I adore every damn pixel of every damn scene, just beautiful! The music... I don't even have any words to describe it.... all the tracks fit their scenes so well, the game is already good but the music made it THAT much more memorable and lovely <3 Can't wait to listen to the entire ost on loop while I do stuff xD
overall 10/10 can't wait to replay and hunt for things I may have missed on the first run!
(SPOILERS!!)
Hiro is so sweet for being there for Lacie T^T but... how come he's the ONLY person that's been there for her... is it just me or is that kinda suspicious? ... hmm what if he's nice to her because he knows why she's cursed? what if...

also I simply could not figure out how to make the candle and broken lamp into a lamp lacy could carry through the dark forest. I gave up and just walked in, used the cell phone light.

Also! Miss Knives!! T^T I saw her back story and bruh it was so sad T^T I feel so bad for her... I hope she'll be fine now T^T
I wonder who this Lilith is.. also why didn't Sai leave with us... I hope we see him again!
also I forgot to mention, the game's page lied to me, they said this is around 4 hours, I somehow spent 7 hours in this game xD
wait, u can cut the wire fence? ..
yep! you can, but you need to be standing in front of the fence, then use the bolt cutter on it from the items menu. You can get the bolt cutter after giving Rune some runes, I forgot how many you need to give him to get the bolt cutter, shouldn't be more than 3 though.

Good evening, could you provide a translation into Brazilian Portuguese?

HOLY BEANSSSSSSSSS IT'S OUT?!?!?!?!?! YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
is it? bc the file still said Demo.
I haven’t played it yet, but my guess is that it says that since it’s chapter one
The devs haven’t exactly confirmed why it’s a demo, but another possibility is that they call it that because so far Ch.1 only has 1 ending. The next update will introduce a few more (around 10 I think
10 endings for ONE CHAPTER?!?! IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTERRRRR!!!!!!
The prologue has more ending, just that the routes are shorter
Perfection (ngl some violin would hit hard in the main menu theme) SAI IS THE GOAT
im so sad that sai didn't come with us :( anyways I love this game
This is the best and longest game I have ever played. Props to the people who worked on this. I can't wait for chapter 2 to come out. I am amazed by the story line and also the amount of effort on the details they made. Thank you for creating this master piece!
Looks like this is the only game you ever played. Welcome to the gaming world.
agreed
This is just a demo...
boi i dont care! its cool.
1. That previous reply was referring to lilkidnini‘s original comment.
2. What I was saying is that Chapter 1 is currently a demo and the full Chapter is not even complete yet.
can someone tell me how to unflood the pathways? (at the part with the fuses) I solved the math thingy and got the gate open but can't figure out how to unlock the doors or unflood anything and I'm stuck lol. I absolutely adore this game tho and don't wanna quit!
If you haven’t solved it yet, you can check out a guide I mentioned on my previous comments (I’m not the creator of the guide btw, Winger785 is)
tysm :D
You probably solve it by now, but all you need is the 3 valves to unflood the pathways.
One of the best games I've ever played honestly. Can't wait for chapter two<3
You mean the full version of Chapter 1?
Chapter 2 won't be coming out until Chapter 1 is complete.
This game was enjoyable, even though it's quite challenging. To be honest, towards the end of the game, there was a boss fight that proved to be the most difficult thing I've ever encountered in a game. Surprisingly, even though that fight was just sucks I'm eagerly looking forward to Chapter 2!

Kat >>>>> Lilly.
HEY DEVS ANSWER ME. I want to break my PC from frustration.
HAVE YOU EVEN PASSED THE MISS KNIVES BATTLE BY YOURSELF!!!??? You even tested it for AT LEAST ONCE!!!??
The patterns are the same, so it's just muscle memory. The course of action would be to try to memorise them.

The game isn't actually that long since it is a demo so it would be easier to restart. Don't know about what is causing the save file to get corrupted, but pretty sure it would just take longer to fix that.
Plus, since this game is just a demo, you would still going to have to restart for the other routes and endings.
Alright! thanks for responding
*SPOILERS*
Just saying I wish I could have protected Miss Knives before she went through all of those terrible things.🥲
I also predicted the girl who gave me the potion was Kat, but I wonder what happened for her to get there?
I cannot find the words to describe how amazing this is.
The plot, the characters, the mechanics, the graphics, the music... Everything is so perfect. Lost track of time while playing this gem.
Can't wait to play chapter 2!
After Chapter 1 is complete
I really enjoy playing this game, hope in the future it will be expanded to many different languages so that people who are not good at English like me can understand and explore the plot of the game. I hope you can create game mods with some languages such as Vietnamese, Japanese, Indonesian, .. Because I'm Vietnamese, I hope you will create mods with Vietnamese storyline to I can explore it again!! (I had to use Google translate to type these lines.) ;^;
Man, thats fckn AMAZING! i created itch io acc only for that comment. You just godlike. Looking forward to more <3
Alright, I really hope the developers will see this. Bugs and suggestions all considering the save:
If you have both Paper Lily ch1 (Itch) and Project Kat (Steam version in my case), the saves from Paper Lily gets into Project Kat, and the saves from Project Kat can get into Paper Lily's save slots. Now, that comes with one of the biggest problems I have with the game. Paper Lily save slots getting duplicated into Project Kat wasn't that much of a nuisance, because Project Kat had ~20 slots, but Paper Lily ch1 only had 3. I've lost my newest save because of that. I don't get why Paper Lily ch1 had so little slots than Project Kat (a much shorter game). Paper Lily ch1 is much larger in scale and richer in content, if you are more of a side quest do-er like me.
So, please, fix the saves, add more saves. Or why not just make it 20 like Project Kat.
30*
And they did mention on their Twitter (X) that PL will get 30 save slots just like PK. The save you lost is probably just somewhere in the save files folder.
I’m not on my PC so I can’t exactly find it, but if you’re on Windows, then press Windows+R and type in %appdata% or %localappdata% (I’m not sure which one) And search for Paper Lily or Leef6010, in which should be a folder named saves. Note that PK saves are in the same folder as PL.
Btw PL means Paper Lily and PK means Project Kat
This was just as wonderful as Project Kat! It felt more polished though- I have recorded my playthrough on my YouTube channel, below is part one! I still have 2 or 3 to edit, but those will come out soon!
when will the full version come out? im too exited to just wait until an unspecified date
when is chapter 2 coming out? is it in janurary. or is that the full version of this game? maybe both?
is this and Project Kat's OST going to be on Spotify?
THIS GAME IS SO SO GOOD OMFG WHY IS IT UNDERRATED
Okay call me an idiot but in the scene where you leave the bus somehow I kept running and running in that loop for like 15 minutes lol
Also, Sai is handsome^^
I wanna hug the MC so bad
Okay, I love this game but one thing that kind of drives me away from it is the chase scene with the lady in the painting at all. I know I might be the only one who is thinking like this but it was so fruasting for me I had to stop playing the game and watch a gameplay so I don't act in anger. Other than that the story and everything else is good and interesting.
The newer comments don’t really adress it anymore, but it was pretty hard for most people (including me), but the devs said the next update will have an option to skip it (probably like the spike minigames)
Thanks bro or non-bro
That's a bit disappointing, was hoping for something more specific to avoid the chase, such as using something on the painting to prevent or slow down the chase drastically.
I get that some minigames have the option to skip, but I feel like there could be some alternative way to skip it instead of having a skip button.
Edit/PS:
Especially when there is actually an option in-game where you can use the knife or lighter on the painting, however for some reason it just triggers the same chase but does not give you the eye.
Knowing how there are a total of 3 possible eyes to get, I feel like it the lighter would let the player skip the chase while the knife could do something unique and that taking the eye is just the regular option.
I've never left a review on a game before, but this game was absolutely amazing!! I adored every second of it. The puzzles were fun to do, and something I really, really appreciated was that certain things, like the final fight scene, were able to be skipped. I wish more games would do this as well! I also love the story, the art, and the characters! They were all so interesting, I can't wait to learn about them. I'm so excited to see how the story will progress, and I will definitely be playing chapter 2 when it releases!
You mean the full version of Chapter 1? Chapter 2 won't be coming out soon until Chapter 1 is complete.
oh, my bad! I didn't realize chapter 1 wasn't complete, but I will still definitely be playing all of the chapters of this game even if they take a while to release! :3
I thoroughly enjoyed Project Kat and Paper Lily. It took me about four hours to complete Paper Lily and it was easily the highlight of my week.
I love that the puzzles can sometimes be bruteforced and solved in different ways because I am very bad at them. I had some trouble finding a couple of items (cough, fourth blessing, cough) but other than that I thought the game was very well balanced, so that a non-gamer could still intuitively complete it. The combat sequences were very challenging but not so much that they were frustrating. They took me many tries and it was so satisfying to finally complete them. You got it just right.
Like many others here, I created an account just to write a review. You did an outstanding job and I'm looking forward to chapter 2. I told my friends about your games too!
Will the Steam release include a mac version?
Although I'm just speculating since the demo of Chapter 1 (as in Chapter 1 is not even complete yet) includes Windows, Linux, and macOS. Therefore, it should be likely.
That's a fair assumption - I'm kind of worried because the Steam release for Project Kat is PC only.
Um... it isn't though?

It is. You have linked the itch.io version while I am talking about the Steam release.
The itch.io version of Project Kat is the same one as the Steam version, I sent both image.
The itch.io download and the Steam recent update are both v1.4.1.
Hence, Project Kat is also on Windows, Linux, and MacOS resulting in that it isn't only on Steam.
OUGHH this game was so good, the characters the story the art everything!!! i enjoyed it so much i really hope chapter 2 comes out soon :3 ( but no rush ofc !!)
Well, it can't be anytime soon since Chapter 1 is not even complete yet.
true, i forgot this was just a demo
(SPOILERS IN THIS JUST A HEADS UP)
I actually made an account just to say wow, this game is so beautiful, so intriguing, so colorful and so fun! Love the puzzles and the characters you meet, the dialogue and interactions are on point, the story was amazing, some parts are sad and had me lowkey in tears, and other parts had me laughing, small things like the coin with the vending machine gave me the giggles! ''SPOILER ALERT'' Miss Knives was a great character and her illusionary dream home was a very cool idea, and i got a theory upon getting caged by Miss Knives, after she took us captive i just stared at my ride along (sai) which is also caged, and i realized something, the way he is sitting in that cage, his red hood, black pants and shoes, i just knew ive seen this guy before meeting him in the facility, and at the end when i left through the door, my theory was kinda confirmed and i was MIND BLOWN! Wont spoil more for people who didnt notice, i think a ton of people missed this!
I cant wait for what's next, i pray that you guys stay motivated to make tons of these games! WHAT A TREAT!!!!
For some reason there is an error every time I try to download the game, could someone upload it to Drive or something so I can download it?
I can only download some games from the Itch app, rather than the website. You could try that?
It worked! Tysm
