Description

When I opened my eyes, I found myself as a cat. Not the protagonist, the protagonist’s friend, the protagonist’s sibling, a princess, a noble lady, a villainess, or even an extra. I was transmigrated as a black cat that humans throw stones at, calling it unlucky just by meeting it… But that was still okay. Because even a cat like me found a caretaker who adores me! “Were you trying to run away?” “Meow, meow?” Unfortunately, this place is inside a horror game where people are kidnapped and killed every night. “Mia, if you try to escape… I’ll kill you.” Until I found out that my caretaker was the villain who killed the cat he had been raising in the first cutscene. Oh, this is driving me crazy!

My Thoughts on Becoming a Cat in a Horror Game

"Becoming a Cat in a Horror Game" had me hooked from the start with its unique premise. I'm a sucker for transmigration stories, and the added twist of becoming a cat in a horror game world? Genius! The blend of fantasy, horror, and even a dash of romance creates a compelling narrative that kept me turning the page (or scrolling, in this case).

First Impressions

The initial setup is fantastic. Our protagonist, Mia, finds herself in the body of a black cat, a creature feared and stigmatized in this world. This immediately throws her into a dangerous situation, and her subsequent adoption by the future "villain" of the game, Isaac, adds another layer of intrigue. The early chapters, detailing her life as a cat and her interactions with a young, abused Isaac, were particularly captivating.

What Works Well

I appreciated the well-balanced horror elements. It's not overly terrifying, which is a plus for me, but it maintains a consistent sense of unease and suspense. The game-like aspects of the story are also well-executed. The puzzles, the diary entries that reveal exposition, and the overall atmosphere genuinely feel like navigating a horror game. Mia herself is a likable protagonist. I found her attempts to be honest about her situation refreshing, and her proactive approach to solving problems made her an engaging character to follow. Her complex relationship with Isaac, born from a desire to protect him during his difficult childhood, adds emotional depth to the story.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the story overall, I do have a few minor reservations. The "favorability system," while common in this genre, felt a bit disruptive at times, pulling me out of the narrative flow. Also, I can see how some readers might be put off by the potential romantic interests beyond the main pairing.
