DIGIMERCE has come back to us with yet another otome game ready for you to play on the Switch. They have been on a roll with games, so for those who have played the last 2, you may be interested in the newest addition to their line up, Kitty Love - Way to Look for Love -. If you love dating sims, sweet stories, and are intrigued with a little bit of the supernatural, tune in because have we got a game review for you!

Kitty Love - Way to Look for Love - features a lot of your favorite seiyuu from past otome games and reverse harem anime like Saito Soma, Atsushi Tamaru, Yasumoto Hiroki, Maeno Tomoaki, and Sakurai Takahiro. If that’s not enough to excite you, catch the PV down below. You’ll get to enjoy a few cute romances from both the point of view of a human and a little cat spectator. It's a little supernatural, but aren't you even a little interested nyaa?

One foolish wish has major repercussions. One day, Honoka ran into a heterochromic cat and, hypnotized by the cat’s eyes, she wishes to be a cat and live a simpler life. The cat grants her wish and Honoka finds herself transformed into a white cat, but the transformation only lasts for the night. As Honoka attempts to hide her secret, she finds herself getting closer to a boy both in her human and her cat form. Luckily, the way to lift the curse is with a true love’s kiss.

Let’s start off with the basics; this is an otome game so please expect there to be text, especially considering it’s a visual novel. It’s not as text heavy as any Hakuoki game, but a majority of the gameplay is reading, so be aware of that. Like Iris School of Wizardry -Vinculum Hearts-, there are a lot of grammatical errors and linguistic mistakes, which can make it hard to follow, but the language used in Kitty Love - Way to Look for Love - is simpler so it makes it easier to follow. This is a plus in our book as it gets easier to deal with linguistic errors. There are still some glaring errors that show that there was no quality checking or proofreading done, but let’s move on.

Storywise, Kitty Love - Way to Look for Love - is a bit unusual, although nothing too outlandish for an otome game. The story revolves around a girl trying to figure out what to do when she is cursed to become a cat at night. At the start, you are introduced to all of the lovely bachelors in the game, and after being cursed, you are given the option of picking which man you want to go after. This seems to be the new thing when playing otome games, which is nice as you don’t fall into many branching storylines. Once you select your route, you read a lot of text and see how the characters slowly fall into love.

Unlike with Iris School of Wizardry -Vinculum Hearts-, Kitty Love - Way to Look for Love - has longer stories told in about 10 chapters. This means that, unlike the previous game, the stories are better developed so that it doesn’t feel rushed. The story itself is rather simple compared to Iris School of Wizardry, but that doesn’t take away from its enjoyment. Kitty Love - Way to Look for Love - is still rather cute and has plenty of romantic moments depending on which route you go on. Even just based on the artwork, you can tell it’s a bit on the fluffy side, but that makes it enjoyable. It may not have wonderful storytelling like Iris School of Wizardry, but Kitty Love - Way to Look for Love - holds its own as an otome game.

Graphic wise, it feels like DIGIMERCE took a step back. Like we said, it looks graphically fluffy with pastel colors that make it feel very light hearted. The backgrounds are nothing special if not toned down to focus efforts elsewhere in the game. It’s a bit disappointing compared to past games, but again, it doesn’t detract from Kitty Love - Way to Look for Love - as a whole. However, we have to say, we wished there were character designs for other characters that are introduced and even voiced! It’s hard to stay immersed in a story with characters you can’t see and can only hear, especially when their contenances are described in the game.

Honestly, as a game, Kitty Love - Way to Look for Love - does not stand up above the rest, however, it is still rather enjoyable to play. While it may be simpler than its predecessors, it still holds its own and has a cute story perfect for casual gameplay. The characters are enjoyable and not over the top considering the tropes. Kitty Love - Way to Look for Love - gets an OK from us when it comes down to otome games!

With that, we bring our review of Kitty Love - Way to Look for Love - to an end. This game was rather enjoyable and we hope you may consider supporting developing companies like DIGIMERCE.
