Play Do NOT Take This Cat Home Online
Do NOT Take This Cat Home is a short horror visual novel about seeing a warning, ignoring it, and discovering that the warning was there for a reason. Its premise is simple, but the route design is strong enough to keep that simplicity working.
How It Plays
One evening, you hear a sound, follow it into a dark alley, and find a black cat sitting in a cardboard box beside a clear warning not to bring it home. Of course, the game only exists because you ignore that warning, and from that point on the apartment starts to feel increasingly wrong.
What to Expect
You can play it directly in your browser, and it also has Windows, macOS, and Linux versions. It is best approached as a short replayable horror VN rather than a long-form narrative.
Why It Stands Out
Do NOT Take This Cat Home stands out because it does not overcomplicate its hook. It takes one bad decision and keeps finding new ways to make you regret it.
