This one has been on my list to get back to and start fresh with for at least a few years now. From what I remember, it was very cute and the underlying plot seemed very interesting. It was also one of the first dating sims I remember seeing at the time that allowed you to have more freedom with your player character's gender. Also, absolute banger of an intro song. I still get it stuck in my head occasionally and completely at random.

This was the first amare game I played (in 2021, it's been a while), and I quite enjoyed it. I havent experienced any other game with story, like this one, in which you can choose your character's gender, and it was made in a way it worked nicely. I remember I didn't know what to expect about the game, but I enjoyed it. It's not super long, and it has a nice mix between reality and magic.

I first found Hustle Cat through PressHeartToContinue and Octopimp's playthrough in 2016. Whenever I play through the game again, it's their voices I hear in my head over the brilliantly done soundtrack. (And the "NERD ALERT" whenever Graves appears.) Over the past decade, at least four laptops, and a degree, I keep coming back to this game. For me, of course, it's endlessly nostalgic, but I think even for new players it still has things to offer. The story is charming, the characters are dynamic, and the artwork is breathtaking. Part of me hopes we'll get another game like this from DateNighto, but I think the magic of Hustle Cat probably can't be replicated. Hustle Cat has been a comfort and an escape for me for years, and as someone who has been playing Otome games for over a decade, remains the standard to which I hold other games. Happy tenth anniversary, Hustle Cat! <3

6.5/10 wholesome and interesting characters! the story is nice too, but feels kinda unresolved. avery is a fun and refreshing protagonist. finleys route was super cute, masons was nice too. didn't bother with the guys, i skipped through them for graves. his route explained most of the unresolved things, but i personally did not enjoy his romance part at all. also, this game doesn't run perfectly. the way the dialogue and skip function works, is weird sometimes. and the game crashed four times on me, but at least autosave works. still, i recommend getting this on a sale!
