Thank you so much for the wonderful comment. Quite honestly, this story made me (the programmer) quite emotional too the first few times I read it - especially once I got it all in the game with my partner's art. I couldn't believe how good it was. I've been wishing she would make games with me for so long... so when she started coming up with story, I was all for it. She basically wrote the whole thing herself with a little input here and there and I just helped it come to life with the programming.
Our cats got many many pets through the making of this as well! :) Glad you enjoyed it!
