Great news, kittens! We've finally figured out why many players weren't able to launch the game, and we've also found the reason why other players were having broken saves and the game going into an endless loading loop. Our beta testing showed that the update worked for most people and didn't introduce any new issues, so we're releasing it to the public.An important clarification: this doesn't solve the issue of conflicts between the game and third-party apps like RivaTuner. In this case, the easiest way is still to disable them.PS: Regarding auto-gluing cards, cleaning upgrades, and other th

Some players have reported that the game won't launch.For others, the game worked, but then crashed or entering an endless loading screen.The good news is that we've found the cause and seem to have fixed everything. But that's not certain!To test this, we need volunteers from those currently experiencing this issue. We've created a separate testing branch where we've uploaded a build with the fixes.We kindly ask that if you encounter the issues described above, follow the instructions below, run the new build, and let us know in the comments or on Discord whether this resolved the issue or wh

Great news, kittens! Steam-chan, having pretty much frayed our nerves with her edits, still approved the collectibles - cards and badges! This means that the longer you dig through the trash, the more Steam cards you will find! MORE CARDS YEAH!! In addition, we continue to try to combat the bug due to which the game does not start for some players. So far, unfortunately, it has not been possible to definitely find and eliminate the cause, but enterprising players (for which GREAT thanks them) have created a page on the wiki, where they analyze various cases and give advice:https://kotamongame.

This will be a long post, but those who read it all the way to the end will be hooked—there's a bonus comic!Cards can be exchanged for BETTER ONES. A huge number of players have complained that duplicate copies of wrinkled, dirty, and other cards can only be sold, while finding a rare, high-quality card is very hard. Oh, if only there were some way to upgrade them… This is a great idea, and so from now on you can exchange three duplicate cards of the same quality for one more whole card - even a foil one! In fact, this has been possible since the game's release, but because we didn't have time

We continue to review feedback and improve the game! In today's "Bugs&Fixes" episode: MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF GARBAGE BAGS Many players have noticed that garbage bags occasionally disappear from their hands near the trash crusher. We conducted a thorough investigation, found the cause, and fixed it. After this, a bag disappeared again, and we fixed the problem EVEN MORE THOROUGHLY, and now it's 100% guaranteed (though not certain). Camera Movement A huge number of players have been asking for the ability to turn off mouse smoothing. Now you can do this in the game settings, and your camera

We're trying to read your feedback and fix what we can quickly and efficiently (and it's not easy – remember, we're cats, we have paws). We're releasing the first major quick fix.Balance After the demo, Mota decided to recalculate the cost of all the upgrades in the game to make it feel cozy, relaxing, and stress-free. The first thing that came to mind was, of course, Ghibli cartoons, so he Googled "Miyazaki game balance" and followed the advice in the guide he found.So, at the release, many were shocked by the first-ever hybrid of a relaxing cleaning simulator and Dark Souls. Mota got a slap

The day has come. We all have been waiting for it. The road was long, hard, and not always straight, but we kept walking—stubborn as a cat heading for its bowl.Is it a good game? Heck if we know! When you're this deep in a project, you lose all objectivity. But we can tell you for sure: Kota and I put a hell of a lot of effort into it. So… we did our best. Your reviews will show the rest! Hope you enjoy hunting for lewd cards!P.S. Will there be… well… lewd-ER cards?Oh, they're coming! When exactly? Tricky question, but we're aiming for before the end of the year. We're a bit stretched thin rig

There's only a week five days left until the release of Kotamon on August 20th... We're working incredibly hard, fixing bugs and adding cool stuff.Thank you for being with us!

We've prepared a huge update for Kotamon! Even if you've already played the demo from beginning to end, it's a great reason to play it again, as it features: A new minigame! You'll find card fragments in the trash. Once you've collected five, you can glue them together on the table to form a complete map! A simple, chill puzzle.Endless piles of trash! In the previous version, after clearing all the piles of trash, the demo ended. But everyone managed to find all the cards available in the demo during that time, which is unfair. Now, after clearing all the piles of trash, you can go to Jenny an
