Purr Diem

Purr Diem is a first-person, low-poly narrative horror game set in a rainy, dystopian cyberpunk world. You work alone on the night shift at Baruren Organic Solutions, a processing facility where cats go in and “product” comes out. Your tasks are to process, fill, quality-check and send orders while meeting a demanding quota.

The job and the debt

You took the job because your girlfriend needs an operation and the pay could cover it, if you clear every shift. You text each other after every shift, and her replies reflect her own journey, her worries and how she sees you changing. The game follows your effort to save her in time.

Cybernetic implants make your work easier, but you buy them with the same credits meant for her surgery. Each upgrade leaves less money for the operation and costs you a piece of your humanity. You must choose between struggling to stay soft and becoming more efficient through enhancements.

What the facility hides

You can explore lockers left behind by earlier employees and speak with the on-site AI, who knows more than she lets on. These encounters reveal secrets about the world, Baruren and the facility. Not everything you see in the dark is really there, and some things are worse.

Endings

Your choices lead to multiple endings: pay off the debt and leave changed, burn everything down, give in, or become unsure whether you are still the one making the choices. The story asks how much of yourself remains by the time the debt is cleared.
