Your bags are packed. You’ve said your goodbyes. And the ferry’s waiting...
Next stop: Cat Island!
As Professor Pawpur’s latest apprentice, you, a stranger to these shores, are here to research the island’s feline inhabitants. But it’s not long before you realise something’s seriously amiss, or should we say… amorous.
Where did all these cats come from? Is the Professor hiding something? What exactly happened to his previous apprentices? Uncover the mystery through a series of dates before your time runs out. But remember, curiosity killed the cat...

The latest ‘critically acclaimed’ release from the BAFTA-winning Bossa Studios (brains behind I am Bread and Surgeon Simulator), Purrfect Date blends mystery, intrigue and wickedly black humour, to create the ultimate crossbreed between visual novel and dating simulator!
