While I normally wait until full completion before giving a proper review, I feel like I've experienced enough to know that this is certainly a beautifully-crafted visual novel experience on all fronts. The concept of catgirls actually being cats in human bodies seems like such a common sense idea, yet OmOneko is the first time I've seen it done, and it fully takes advantage of its concept by the representation of its leading nekos. Clawdia is the loving and loyal childhood pet, Pepper is the wily and attention-demanding adoptee, and Shimi is the timid and survival-focused stray. 3 different types of cats portrayed perfectly well, with their ability to speak and do other human activities making it feel more original and compelling compared to if they were just regular felines. But a strong foundation alone doesn't make a product complete. Thankfully, each individual part that I judge a VN for is phenomenal. The writing is superb. The art is gorgeous. The music is catchy. The characters are believable. While there were admittedly a few times where I was rubbing my temples in frustration at how dense our MC could be, he was still overall a relatable character and someone you want to root for and see succeed. Plus, he's given me some cooking tips I'll have to remember for the future. Overall, I can't recommend OmOneko enough. Everyone involved in development should be proud of what they accomplished, and I can't wait to see what TaleChaser does next!

Did 100% on Itch and replayed a few chapters on Steam. First pure VN I've ever finished, can't say how it compares to others in the genre but the writing is stellar. Great attention to detail - all the tiny jabs at things that happen/get explained in parallel routes greatly reward paying close attention to the dialogue. The SinKitty comic is great, hope to see more of it in the future. The artstyle of the game is...fine, don't have a strong opinion on this one. Some parts of sprites feel off, but it's just a nitpick. The music is rather simple, which isn't bad as you're not supposed to focus on it anyways. The game is rather linear with few choices along the way, but that way it makes them feel more significant - you get a choice, you need to pay attention to what you're about to do, as it WILL have consequences. Overall, I strongly recommend - a very solid experience with no glaring problems, and it's absolutely free at that. The dev team has really proven itself with this one, and I'll patiently wait for Part 2 and anything else they're planning to release.
I got recommended to play(read?) this by a friend, and I haven't gone through that many VN's, but I just fell absolutely in love with everything about this one! It's very good; the characters have a lot of depth to them that one sees unfold as the story progresses. Along with that. the universe this takes place in feels pretty fleshed out too, and I look forward to seeing more of it in the future. Highly recommend this to everyone to give it a look-see!
Extremely well written - you can tell that these are the sort of characters that 'wrote themselves' once they were fully developed, and they bring the world alive. Much deeper than any other Neko game I've played. If you've played Katawa Shoujo, there is a similar level of depth here, but with the addition of a well-thought out and mysterious alternate earth. I recently saw someone express that it's strange that we consider aliens, and an alien way of thinking, to be the stuff of sci-fi when we share this planet with so many animals who think in 'alien' ways already. This game does an excellent job of portraying the alien-yet-familiar mind of a Neko. Readable, thoughtful, and fun. Highly recommend.
Didn’t think a free VN would hook me like this.Good pacing, thoughtful writing, and the vibe is pretty unique. Definitely stands out.
OOPSIE POOPSIE SAME GORO CHANNEL SAME GORO TIME
Wanted Clawdia, but got Mrs. Shimi Short-Tail instead, and i'm glad i did. Wildcat <3
I LOVE MY CRUSHED TOMATO WILDGIRL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Honestly I was expecting this to be another generic run of the mill VN involving Catgirls. But im very happy to say that is one of the best reads ive had all year, there is so much care and effort put into this 5 year project and im glad i got to read it. Almost everything is handmade, from the lore to the art and story it all Oozes with love. im writing this before finishing it ( i still have 3-4 more endings to get) because i truly cannot fully express how much i enjoyed this. P.S the OST slaps
love this game. lots n' lots
