Hau'oli
After a fatal car crash, you find yourself waking up in the body of a cat and found by Sialia, a Spotted Hyena. Over the course of 5 days, you learn about Sialia's life and help her through a difficult time.
This short Visual Novel is an entirely SFW experience with a small amount of ecchi/suggestiveness while confronting themes like burnout, depression, and bigotry.

i created my account to say BRA-VO! you guys really had to get me into this site and now? i cant find anything else because your standards are just too high from everyone elses but keep going on! ill always find grattitude for the fact that you keep making these for me and every one else to enjoy thanks again! and good fortune for the years to come!
I love it, it's cute, emotional and such a sweethearted story, i will support you whenever I can😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I loved it, en verdad Sigue así que te apoyo hasta el final. Increíble y bien sentimental la historia y eso que es simplemente la versión 1.0 pero en verdad me encantó, can't wait for the next part of the story.
Lo probé para ver q tal estaba y me terminó enganchado. 10/10
Y tremenda referencia sobre lo q pasó con itch.io hace un tiempo en cuanto a las obras con como ahí dice "spicy content". Me imagino q debió haber sido un golpe directo a la economía de los q se dedican a crearlos. Pero también me asombra ver cómo aún así superan las adversidades , no dejan de trabajar y nos entregan estas maravillas.
Espero la próxima actualización con ganas.
Sigan trabajando y creando obras maestras como solo ustedes saben.

Para cuando el acto III de Behemot's Curse?
From all your games, only 1 doesnt settle me well, and this one isnt, 5 shiny pieces in 1 creator, keep going bro
amazing initial release i hope we see the full history
I enjoyed this one a lot. Honestly hoping it to be a full fledged story in the future. I can already imagine the future arcs like being able to communicate etc. Definitely would like to see more of this relationship and possible expansions of it :)
I really enjoyed this, I did everything I could to be supportive of Sia as a Cat.
Just finished it and I am loving every bit of it. The story, the mood, even the pacing feels great. Lots of questions that are left unanswered, with multiple routes to take for continuing the story.
Will the character (default: Aoi) be able to communicate with Sia? Will "Aoi" turn back into a person or will they live the rest of their life as a cat? What events will happen from all of Sia's actions? How will interactions with her "brother" play out?
So much be to answered. I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the continuation of it. Please continue this project. Look forward to this one and any others (SCP-999 project (waiting to see the blob)).
Looks like peak
I'm really enjoying this novel. I haven't finished it yet, but even from what I've read, it makes me want to know more and more, stopping to translate each dialogue and understand it. This is thanks to the fact that my native language is Spanish. However, this novel made me learn English in order to understand it, and I really recommend it a lot
Good story while I admire the creativity of turning hardships into a story i really am hoping that the work the fans do to counteract this bears fruit. Keep making good stories and you do deserve a good kitty.
Gonna see what ts game is about, cya in a bit guys
Great game, hope to see more.
Mood 7, Cat 0
Really cute little story
Love the game playing it at 3:45 am because I have no life
Really nice story and you did really good drawing the characters
I hope the delisting gets cancelled but I must say, reading those lines of "anyone can convey the pain and negativity of life, but only a true creative can use their passion to portray the joy and magnificence" gave me shivers. It took some time for it to build up, I nearly clicked off at one point, but I really found myself enjoying this. I hope to read more from you soon.
