About the Game

The resentment of Earth's corporate drudges has coalesced into the "Cattle-Horse Deity," which has invaded the world of cats. It has brainwashed 24 elite cats of different breeds and professions into becoming indifferent BOSSes. You, chosen by the Fortune Cat as the fated office worker, must shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the cat realm alongside your companion, the Little Fortune Cat.

1.#A Workplace System with 200+ Skills & Statuses# Makes work and slacking off more interesting. Each year, you'll experience the professional lives of three different cats, complete challenging job tasks, and counter interference from BOSSes and the Cattle-Horse Deity. Slacking off not only accumulates DHA energy to empower yourself but also activates powerful job skills. Additionally, mechanics like Fidgets, Events, and Sea Urchins make workplace dynamics more flexible and engaging.

2.#700,000+ Words of Rich Storyline# Allows you to fully enjoy the beautiful life of the cat world, relieving work-induced stress and fatigue. Whether staying in, exercising, entertaining, pursuing hobbies, or even dating! The wonderful cat world always has an activity for you. But life is like a blind box—each choice may trigger good or bad outcomes, bringing temporary special luck. These little surprises make every day feel fresh.

3.#1,000+ Scenes# Twice-a-year vacation opportunities are moments to explore the beautiful landscapes of the Divine Land and completely reset. Touring various sights can significantly reduce all negative work attributes and accumulate a powerful, long-lasting luck effect for the next career cycle. With the Little Fortune Cat by your side, you'll never be lonely no matter where you go.

4.#Almost 4,000 CGs & MVs# Make the story more exciting. After defeating the year's final professional cat BOSS, you'll enter its "Memory Fragment" distorted by the Cattle-Horse Deity. This holds the story of the BOSS's corruption. Your choices lead to three distinct paths of redemption: warming empathy with Love, breaking through professionally with Strength, or cleverly outwitting with Mischief. Each intervention reshapes a destiny and is the core of the narrative experience.

5.#3,000+ Non-Differential Character Illustrations# An innovative dialogue feedback system ensures rapid and coherent reactions from both speakers' illustrations. After each annual challenge, you'll welcome the New Year in the Celestial Realm. This hub of the cycle allows you to rest and use the DHA accumulated from year-round slacking to permanently enhance abilities. Of course, failing tasks leads to numerous short-term endings that restart the cycle.

The game blends relaxed casual gameplay, extensive free-form storytelling, authentic Memory Fragments, and the healing warmth of a cat-themed world. This is not just the world of cats—it's a microcosm of the real-world workplace. You may still encounter injustice and darkness, hardship and grievance, but believe that with the Little Fortune Cat fighting alongside you, every story can find its best ending. And each of your choices will shape the future of the cat realm.
