You came for eggs. You left with a crush so powerful it short-circuited your soul.
Date a Catboy is a charming, chaotic, and emotionally charged visual novel where every choice you make brings you closer—or pushes you further away—from one unforgettable catboy: Kota Munch. He’s an international idol, a femboy with a heart full of glitter and guarded smiles, and just for today… your waiter.
It all begins with a simple craving. Eggs. That’s it. One rainy morning, you wander into Uncle Bear’s Egg House, the coziest diner in the city, hoping for hash browns and maybe a little peace. Instead, fate throws you headfirst into Kota’s lap—almost literally—as he stumbles out of the kitchen in an apron two sizes too big, balancing waffles and awkwardness like a pro.
He's doing a favor for his old family friend, Uncle Bear. You’re just a customer. But somehow, something clicks.
And then the real story begins.
Follow Kota through a whirlwind day of heart-thumping moments, secret confessions, chaotic cooking, music-making, and surprising tenderness. Behind the camera-ready smile is someone who’s tired of being perfect. Behind the glitter is a boy who just wants to be seen. And behind the pancakes? An entire world of ridiculous drama, rhythm minigames, robotic cat litter boxes, and a highly judgmental elf dad named Elven.
Yes. You’ll have to win over Kota’s adoptive father. And no, he doesn’t like you. Yet.
Every choice matters. Flirt too hard and you might scare Kota off. Play it too safe and he’ll never let you in. Misstep in front of Elven and the door slams shut before you even get a chance. But if you listen, if you care, if you dare to get a little silly and a lot sincere—you might just change both your lives forever.
Explore Kota’s ultra-modern, pastel-powered apartment. Cook meals together in a kitchen with a sarcastic AI chef. Unlock secret achievements like “Professional Headpatter” and “Purrfect Duet.” Choose from branching paths that lead to multiple unique endings—some adorable, some heartbreaking, all unforgettable.
From shy head pats to shared strawberry crepes, from crashing rhythms to cuddles on the couch, Date a Catboy is a full-on romance ride where the goal isn’t just to win a date—it’s to earn someone’s trust, joy, and maybe even their love.
This is a game for the hopeless romantics, the flirters who talk with their food, the music lovers, the dreamers, and anyone who’s ever wanted to fall for someone a little magical, a little messy, and entirely unforgettable.
He’s sparkly. He’s soft. He’s only here for one day. And if you’re lucky, he might just ask you to stay.
Kota Munch isn’t looking for a fan. He’s looking for someone real.
Will that be you?
