A slice of life tale inspired by Witch's Familiar and binging Lo-Fi For Witches, with themes of second chances and found family.
It's a pretty standard CYOA in terms of gameplay.
You died. That may sound depressing, but it works out surprisingly well: Rescued by a kind witch, you are given a second chance at life with a loving family.
Embrace a wholesome daily life, full of self discovery and meetings with a variety of magical and mundane characters in a modern world.
MC: You! Sort of. You if you were living an unfulfilling life in a world where magic is real, but hidden.
Caitlín: Cait for short. A kind witch that saves you from certain death... By turning you into her adorable catperson familiar.
Ashley: One of Cait's twin familiars and the MC's new big sister. Dresses like a punk, loves shonen anime and kung fu movies.
Lesley: One of Cait's twin familiars and the MC's new big brother. A candy raver femboy that loves baking and helping people smile.
Instinct and Magic are the main mechanic of the game. They currently only impact flavor text, but going forward they'll be influence available choices.
High Instinct can open personal shapeshifting options, but may also lock you into certain feline behaviors (though this is subject to change).
High Magic can open outward, overt magical options, but those are more noticeable to others.
Calling the witch "mom" will have a lasting impact on your interactions. She'll be extra doting if the MC embraces their second childhood.
