The Puss Collection

The Puss Collection wraps an inheritance mystery around a premise that draws you into a sprawling hotel setting. You've inherited diamonds hidden inside one of eleven cat figurines left by your late aunt—but so have others. Taking an internship at the luxury hotel where she once worked, you're free to explore at your own pace, pursue different character routes, and uncover the secrets that bind them together. The appeal here is exploration without rigid structure; you choose where to go, who to spend time with, and how much of the larger mystery you want to uncover.

Gregorium and FXLS have built this in Ren'Py, using 2D anime-style art with animation to bring scenes to life. As a sandbox dating sim, the experience balances character-driven romance with investigative elements—you're piecing together both intimate relationships and the hotel's web of intrigue. The adult content is integrated into the narrative rather than isolated; intimate moments serve character development and plot progression. Version 0.2.0 indicates ongoing development, so expect the game to expand with more routes, scenes, and story beats as updates arrive.

What makes The Puss Collection notable is that Gregoryum created nearly everything solo—writing, art, animation, and design. That's both a strength (cohesive creative vision) and a reality to bear in mind when setting expectations around scope and update frequency. If you're drawn to games where story and character matter as much as mechanics, where you can take your time exploring a single location and its inhabitants, this rewards that patience. The sandbox structure means you're not on a timer; the game unfolds at your preferred pace.
