History about cat who borrowed money from the cartel

Our cat (Jay) fulfills his childhood dream and opens a bedroom. The opening turned out to be too expensive, which is why he ran out of money to promote the coffee shop, he urgently needed to do something about it, since there were very few visitors.

One evening he decides to take money from a local cartel. Having taken a large amount, he does not have time to give all the money by the time. The cartel meets with Jay and threatens to kill him, scaring him, they decide to use Jay's coffee shop for their own purposes until he works out all the money.

The deal was to secretly sell catnip, which our cat would grow in the back room. Customers will be attracted to the coffee shop for illegal goods.

At the end of each day, the profits are divided between Jay and the cartel. If Jay does not cope with the set bar, then the cartel kills him and they will put their own person in his place.

So help the cat to cope with the task and save his life. GO AHEAD! WARRIOR!

Gameplay

You need to plant catnip and sell it.

To plant seeds, a mini-game is offered in which you need to perform several steps in order to grow mint.

Various visitors will come to Jay's coffee shop, but be careful - they may not always be polite.

All the profits you receive at the end of the day you share with the cartel to pay off the debt to him. If the condition is not met, you will be executed.

To make it not so easy for you to live, you will need to improve the beds and order seeds in order to have time to make daily earnings. Therefore, think about where to allocate your money levels, otherwise you know what can happen

I am unable to play. I am getting this error message when the game is loading: "Unable to parse Build/buildWebGL1.framework.js.br! This can happen if build compression was enabled but web server hosting the content was misconfigured to not serve the file with HTTP Response Header "Content-Encoding: br" present. Check browser Console and Devtools Network tab to debug."

The only accurate representation of what it's like to work a customer service job in the world of gaming.

The art is great, and It's nice to see a game that focuses on characters. I wish the timer stopped for the cutscenes. But overall it was fun! Well done!

I started spamming with a space to skip the animation of the appearance of the text and caught a bug (laid the text). After the first cat guest, have no idea who said anything afterwards.

Very nice graphics and I love this kind of humorous games.
I ended up having the same problem as Tsuya where I couldn't see the dialogues which is probably very sad, also you could spam the E key at the client would respawn

Very nice artstyle! Gameplay is still a bit short, but I like the concept. Bonus points for the raunchy style and hairless cat!

Artsyle is pretty good and fits the chosen theme, I do love all the characters! Animations perfectly complemets them, haha.
Gameplay feels kind of raw, but I do understand that it's just a matter of lacking time~

The game broke down and dialogues lagged. I had to skip them 60 times. In general, dialogues are superfluous here, it seems to me.
The art is great. The idea is funny

Nice art, but it was just a matter of spamming space for 10 minutes straight :sweat_smile:

What an engaging backstory and simply beautiful graphics. Unfortunately the dialog systems breaks regularly. But since the time keeps running I just kep hammering the space bar anyways :D The characters are super charming but still get repetitive. Would have loved to see some deeper gameplay.

The text was stuck in '(there was no on' to every cat the appears, but beside that is a nice game, congrats. :)

Art is nice I like the different cats :) Dialogue was a little janky when trying to skip and it doesnt need to say "(Press space to continue)" after the first message. If you wanted it could be an UI element instead of part of the animating text. I would rather click on a box hitbox around the items then the actual silhouette of them when planting the catnip. After the timer showed the catnip finished growing I expected to have to harvest it so it took me a little to realize it was added in the top right.

I'm a fan of the idea the game brings, but it kinda felt really repetitive, especially because I found a bug where the text was stuck on what my last customer said. I just kept spamming "E" and "Space" to eventually reach 1000, but it didn't even feel that rewarding for the amount of time it would've taken me.

Silly game with enjoyable characters! My biggest problem is that the selling mechanic kept breaking and I would get locked in that screen. I love breaking bad
