Purrfect Tale Walkthrough and Guide

Purrfect Tale is more than just a cat collecting game. It’s also a charming visual novel about a girl and a cat who can magically transform into a human.  The visual novel is divided into acts and each act has several chapters. In each chapter, you will have to complete certain tasks and simple puzzles to progress through the story. You will need hearts to unlock a new story. To know more about hearts, cods and how to get them, check out our Purrfect Tale guide.

To access the story mode, tap on journal on the bottom of the screen. In a particular chapter, tasks and puzzles are very easy. However, interacting with objects isn’t limited to tapping/touching the screen. You will have to drag your fingers over objects to open them, solve jigsaw puzzles and sift through objects to find hidden items. In case you are stuck on a particular task, tap the hint button on the top-left corner of the screen or read our Purrfect Tale walkthrough if you need solutions for tasks and puzzles:

Act 1: Chapter 01 – Replay

Tap “stop” on the smartphone to stop the alarm.

Press and drag clothes from the wooden chair to your bed to discard them. Do this until you find the blue uniform.  Only the blue uniform should remain on the chair. Now tap on the blue uniform to wear it.

There will be pink notes on top of the yellow sticky note. Drag them away to read the sticky note. Tap on the yellow note to read it. Mom will tell you to have some milk and eggs for breakfast. It’s written on the yellow note.

Press and drag the magnified sky blue cabinet on the bottom to open it. Remember you have to press and drag your finger on the blue cabinet to open it. Inside the cabinet you will find a bottle of milk. Tap to take it

Tap on magnified food and milk on the bottom to eat them. Tap on the loaf and other item until there’s none. Tap on the egg to peel it. Now tap on the peeled egg, but your character won’t eat it. There will be words scrolling on the screen saying “It’s Gross” “I won’t eat it”. Finally tap on the glass of milk to drink it.

In the school bus, your character checks WeCat, a social networking site. Scroll the smartphone screen to the bottom to read all WeCat posts. Keep scrolling until you reach the end.

In the classroom, tap on the sitting girl (your character) and a teacher hands over the paper/notes to her. Tap the screen again. The teacher appreciates your attempt to solve the exam. Keep tapping the screen to read the conversation between your teacher and you.

In the next screen, your character checks her smartphone. Tap on the app that has a red dot to open it.

Open the messaging app and read mom’s message. You can either choose “Okay got it” or “I can take care of myself. Don’t worry”. It’s your wish. Don’t think it may affect the story in any way.

Read the conversation with mom, especially the laundry detergent part. You will have to buy that from the store/supermarket.

Next, you will be taken to the map. It has three locations – School (you are here currently), supermarket and home. Tap on supermarket.

On the lower-left is the shopping list. It reads – Instant Noodle, laundry Detergent and Pineapple Bun. You will notice that the list also has tiny pictures next to them, but they are of no use.

Drag and drop the correct ingredient in the green basket. Pineapple bun is in the second row from top. Laundry detergent is the blue on the bottom row. Take any instant noodles cup from the third row.

On the map, tap on “Home” to reach your house.

Open the flap of cup noodles. Drag your finger over the flap to open it.

In the next paragraph, drag your finger over dotted lines to cut the plastic.

Take the jug to pour water on the cup noodles. Drag your finger over the jug to pick it up and pour hot water on the cup noodles.

Tap on the noodles repeatedly to eat it until it’s empty.

Scroll the WeCat app to browse posts until you reach the end.

Your character is feeling sleepy. Move the clothes from the bed onto the chair to set up your bed first.

Pull the string on the night lamp to turn it off.

Next morning: Tap stop on the smartphone.

In the classroom, tap on the like button on your smartphone repeatedly, but be careful. The teacher will be alerted. Make sure you stop tapping the like button when the red exclamation mark appears above your teacher. Keep tapping the like button to fill the pink bar. Try to pause after a few taps and do this regularly. Make sure you tap a few times and stop before the exclamation mark appears on top of him. Sometimes the exclamation mark appears quite frequently, so pay attention to this. It’s a fun mini-game, and you will have to be quick and cautious wile tapping the like button.

When the teacher calls you at his desk. Tap on the sentences in the white box on bottom of the screen. When you tap on a sentence, it scrolls on the screen horizontally, showing what’s on her mind.

Keep tapping sentences inside the white box until you have used all of them.

In the time table, stick your feelings about these classes on the timetable. There be several feelings appearing on the bottom of the screen, such as a sad smiley, poo, crying smiley etc. indicating you are bored with all these subjects.

There will be two feelings displayed as smileys on the white box. Drag any one of the feelings on each subject. Pay attention to the dotted circles and drag each smiley that appears on the bottom towards each subject to “pin” your feelings for them.

In the wardrobe puzzle, put all clothes in the box. These include the ones hanging and the folded ones. Put them one by one in the box.

In the classroom, you will be reading a comic. Again tap on the comic before the exclamation mark appears above the professor/teacher. Tapping the comic book flips the pages. In such mini-games, you need to have patience. Pause a bit before the exclamation mark appears. If you tap on the comic book when the exclamation mark appears, your teacher will throw a chalk at you and you will lose some points/the pink bar will decrease.

The next task will be a memory game. Tap on identical icons on the pictorial timetable to remove them. Be quick in tapping identical icons if you want to remove them from the timetable.

Tap on each food item to eat them. In between, your mom scolds you, answer her by selecting the appropriate choice. Tap on food items until all are eaten up.

Next, there will be the same classroom mini-game – tap to browse your smartphone before the exclamation mark appears above the teacher. Tap the like button on the in-game smartphone until the pink bar above the smartphone fills up. Stop tapping the smartphone when you see the exclamation mark. You would be much safe if you stop tapping the smartphone even before the exclamation mark appears.

Note: I realized that filling the pink bar in the classroom mini-game doesn’t have any affect. Even if you fill the pink bar, your teacher will still reprimand you. It’s just a mini-task. That’s it.

When the teacher tries to snatch your artwork, tap on the artwork. When the pink bar fills, your drawing tears into two. The teacher then calls your mom and complains to her about you.

Outside, you will play the road mini-game. Avoid obstacles by tapping on clear lanes, i.e. lanes that don’t have obstacles. There will be 3 lanes. Avoid vehicles, roadblocks and barricades. Do this until the pink bar on top of the screen fills up.

If you hit a roadblock or any other obstacle, the pink bar decreases a bit. Hit a vehicle, and your character will be dazed. It will take a few seconds to regain her balance from the accident.

You stop near a garbage area. After hearing a faint meow near the garbage bin, tap on the garbage bags to find the cat. The kitty will be inside a white box. Tap on all items until only the white box remains.

Tap on the white box twice to hear meow again.

Drag your finger to open the box. You will see an adorable cat.

Next, move the target icon towards the cat icon. Keep the icon over the cat until the pink bar fills up. Soon after this, the cat icon will move, move the target icon over the moving cat. Every time you move the target on top of the cat icon, the pink bar fills up a bit. Keep doing this until the pink bar fills the second time. When you do this, the cat turns into human.

The next mini-game will be around the empty beverage can. Follow the above steps and the can will hit the human.

Follow the conversation between your character and the cat-turned-human. While conversing with him, choose dialogues that you think will help you know the mysterious cat and his whereabouts better.

You try to pick that up but it’s too high. Tap on your character a few times. You will see Oliver magically transforming into a human and helping you pick that book on the topmost shelf.

The pink book is actually an album. Your childhood pictures are in it.

While turning the pages of the album, Oliver will ask questions. Choose appropriate answers.

Tap on the torn photo a few times will take you to flashback of your childhood. In the flashback screen, tap on the screen multiple times to enlarge the image of a man trying to hit the woman.

In the next segment, tap the woman and she will tear the photo. The torn photo will be dropped between several torn photos. You will have to piece together all ripped photos. It’s kind of like a jigsaw puzzle.

After piecing all photos together, drag your finger over the piece of folded paper to reveal what’s inside. It’s a painting you drew when you were a kid. Tap on the drawing. Follow the conversation with the cat.
