Ranked from 74 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
“Trust No One” is at the heart of our game. The protagonist tries to prove that no Tom can be trusted by deceiving and manipulating them—but in doing so, she becomes the least trustworthy cat of all. In the end, the theme turns back on the player: if everyone is hiding something, who can you really trust?

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
All of the artwork was created by us, and all of the code was written from scratch during the jam. Some of the music was sourced from open-source resources.

Very cute and fun! 🐱

I enjoyed the story and liked the surprise mini-games!
I didn't have time to play the whole game, though. I just played to the end of chapter 1.

This game is so awesome that its hard to believe it was made in a week.
It's so polished, incredible! Literally every aspect of this game is excellent. The story is gripping, the characters are cute, and the amount of extra mechanics is just impressive!
Plus, all the mini-games are really fun, easy to navigate, varied, and incredibly polished. It has everything, right down to the smallest details and feedback animations.
It's surprising how well the story is written too. At first the characters really make you trust them, and it all falls apart so beautifully by the end of the chapter!

Wow, it's truly impressive how much you made in just a week. I especially liked that there were some mini-games to make everything more participative. It would have felt even better if there was more feedback on how well you're doing. I had to repeat the second chapter 3 times and was left guessing what I really might have done wrong.

The visual cuteness clashing with the type of narrative is an interesting choice. I think I would've liked to find something more light-hearted, but this isn't bad either!

What a game! Well done on the exceptional level of polish: the visuals are perfect, there’s a lot of writing behind it, and a lot of work has gone into the game design too (all those different mini-games!!!).

Some mini-games struck me as more difficult (e.g. Chapter 2: the trading mini-game), and I’m not sure I know why I couldn’t complete Chapter 2, but you can really feel the care you’ve put into creating this game.

Probably one of the most fully-featured games from this jam that I’ve had the chance to try so far! Bravo!

one of the best games on this game jam!
