    If you're a fan of rhythm games or visual novels with a bit more gameplay, you really should give Cat Leather Jackets a chance. The rythm minigame is really fun and I like the songs so much I honestly could listen to them even outside of the game (found it on Spotify!). There's some pretty funny bits too, like the hyperspace/beatmpap scam actually working on Priya even if she knows it's completely made up, or most Priya/Dave interactions so far. Hope everyone does themselves a favor and gives…

    Guess this is gonna be that one critical review among the positive ones. So, first of all, to give you an idea of the rhythm game aspect; it plays pretty much like guitar hero. You select the lane of the incoming note, and hit another key to strum once it is on the judgement area. Not exactly something I am used to doing on keyboard, and I am actually not much of a fan. I would have preferred if it's just hit the lane when the note is in the judgement area, so it'd play like DJMAX and similar…

    A linear visual novel with fun rhythm game that gives it a slight edge over the rest. The VN gameplay is typical of the genre. You read the content on the screen and then hit a button to go to the next speech bubble or scene. There is no indication when it is OK to hit the button for the following part, so there might be some unwanted button pressing. There are some rare situations where character might be done talking, but nothing happens when you hit the button. To be fair, this happens…

    Unbelievable... I am now someone who loves ska-punk! I recommend this game with every inch of my body. One of the most charismatic rhythm games in recent times! And the price, damn, take it right now!!!!!!!!

    Esse jogo é um projeto de paixão imenso - é muito claro de ver em todos os aspectos. A arte super estilosa, a música, os personagens, tudo você tem como sentir o quanto que os devs se importavam de verdade com esse projeto. Não é um jogo caro, não é um jogo longo, não tenho como não recomendar. A história é simples e efetiva, com personagens charmosos que é muito fácil de se identificar (meu favorito é o Dave). Ninguém no cast é perfeito, mas seus conflitos sempre são naturais e realísticos.…

    The drawings are very nice, really brings you to an underground atmosphere and feels kind of nostalgic. It plays weel but the best part is the music.

    I was not super into guitar hero like game, but this one changed my mind. Mainly because of the storyline and the original music. Visuals are also amazing. Definetly recommend giving this game a chance, it can surprise you like it surprised me.

    The aesthetics of the game itself are very pleasing, with well-drawn scenes and amusing characters, not to mention the game's main feature which is its fantastic soundtrack.

    So good!! Reminds me of the old times watxhing my cousings play guitar hero (I wanted to play sonic riders, so maybe take notes on what game to take inspiration from next) The conversations feel very natural and make me feel like I'm talking to my musician friends who don't know what they are doing with their lives.

    I just beat the game and I am completely OBSESSED by Cat Leather Jackets. It's an indie game about an indie band, with that strong coming of age mood that I always love. You will probably want to stream the game's official soundtrack and, lucky you, it's on Spotify. I just wonder where I can get some CLJ merch.

    Cool good game, a chill history and some nice songs, a nice break from the norm. The ~strumming~ with a controller is a bit weird, but you get used to it on the harder dificulties.

    Stunning visuals paired with greatly composed songs is some o the things i can say about Cat Leather Jackets! the music has moved me to "tap my foot" on every beat, and the story is something that we can all very easily relate to(being a rebelling teen, with much to prove and a dream to follow) Pryia, I hope to god I nailed the spelling, has the dream of living off of her music and the grit to stick by it, even tho the shows start very humbly. I still remember jamming to my favorite song for…

    Great little game! Feels like reading a comfy graphic novel, with a fitting Guitar Hero mini-game to boot. I'm not a fan of visual novels, so I was originally more interested in the rhythm game aspect (as I *am* a fan of ska punk). But the coming-of-age story and realistic charismatic characters quickly got me surprisingly engaged - and even a little emotional at some points. Also, the visuals are obviously great. The game took me around 1h30 to finish, so it is kinda short. But I do enjoy…

    I absolutely adore this game! While I might not be the most skilled player, there's something undeniably captivating about Pryia, the main character. The game's charm is irresistible, whether it's the vibrant world design, Pryia's endearing personality, or the engaging storyline. It's an absolute delight that's hard not to fall in love with!
