Overview

Shoestrings Story, developed and published by KITTYPOOL, invites players into a unique narrative experience. This point-and-click visual novel unfolds with approximately 300,000 characters of text, weaving a tale that blends dark humor with unexpected quantum mechanics.

Players step into the shoes of Lovecatch, a freelance writer burdened by childhood trauma, rendering them mute and inexperienced in combat. Despite these limitations, a chance encounter with a wounded creature, a Mamono, thrusts Lovecatch into the role of a "Hero.

" The mission: to "persuade" the Demon King and end a 900-year war.
