This is a hint/patch/cheat file for the "Mesuneko Hisyositsu" (Mesu, CAT) adult anime game for Windows 9x in Japanese from Melody (1997). The title can also be read as "Mesuneko Hishoushitsu", but I think it's supposed to translate to "Female cat secretary room" or "Werecat secretary room" either way. I got the game distributed as 5 ZIP files for a total of 5.89 MB, but it had bogus tiny .WAV files for the music. Even so, it has large .BMP files for the graphics so it totals out to about 23.3 MB uncompressed. One report from game-deli was that it was 8 Mb in 4 ZIP files, another site said 6.07mb, so there may be versions out there with more or less of the game's .WAV files. Even so, there are several versions of the sound effects used by the game; any idea why they needed a phone ringing at 705, 178 and 88 kbps? You can unZIP the files anywhere and play the game from there (run CAT.EXE), but the game will create the folder C:\MESU_WIN and put the file SYSTEM.DAT there once you see any of the many H pictures during play. Interesting graphics of people; they're drawn in a style that's more realistic than anime. However, once the girls shed their clothes it can be tough to figure out who's who except by the hair and recognizing their names during the dialogue. A little bit of rope play and one (maybe two) girls wear a dog leash, a few lesbian scenes, but nothing more hard core than that in this game. There's at least one image where the man in the tan suit looks upset (or at least very strange), probably because that's his daughter or relative giving you a blow job. Game graphics are 640*480 256 colors overall, but the locations, people overlays and H scenes are individually 640*400 16 colors. Some unedited text from the old "inocima" site: Mesuneko Hishoushitsu (Female cat secretary room) in Japanese, or simply CAT is a win95 game that needs NJWIN to show the Kanji characters. I don't know why but with me, even using NJWIN, the commands in the win command bar aren't understandable, but you should have no problems to figure them out. This game is a "adventure" type game, at least it's called that in my country. The good thing in this game is, all the graphics (which are pretty good) are stored in .bmp format so even if you didn't see all the pics, at the end you won't miss them, it has good graphics. The negative aspect is that the version available here isn't a full game as the .wav files were cut in many parts. The story is (more or less) the following.... In a building in Shinjuku there's a man, his (yours) name is Kurou, or "Fukurou" (Owl) as he is called.... You're a Head-Hunter. You're recording your matinal relatory (!?) and when you finish the bell rings: -It's unlocked- You say A girl enters -Excuse me... Oh, sorry am I too early? - she asks. -And you are?- Girl - Suguiyama Tomoko(?), actually the agreement was from today, wasn't it?- You - What are you talking about?- Tomoko - ?...oh? You didn't hear anything from the boss? I'm your partner from today...- You - From the Boss? No, it's the first time I hear about it...- Tomoko - It's strange. He said that he had your OK... Anyway it is like that, so I hope that we get on well! - You - Wait a minute...It's really me? Are you sure?- Tomoko - Yes... The name is "Kurou". Doesn't matter how dark it's is you can see, for that you're also called "Fukurou" It's supposed to be you.... Or am I wrong?- You - Sure it's me... But it's such a sudden...- Tomoko - ....Sorry. To be so unexpected. But it was an order from the boss. He wants you to take over a emergencial job.- You - Me?- Tomoko - Yes...Will you accept?- You - ....well, I need to hear more about it, or I can't say anything...What kind of job is it?- Tomoko - Easily put, is a Head Hunting; but this time we don't have a target, only the characteristics needed... But before that I want you to confirm one of your legendary attributes, which is why you were chosen. Your SUKEBE (Umm... I think you guys know what this means...)- So you have your first decision to take: You embrace her or throw her to the floor (both to sex anyway!) Li Sun said: Mesu (Werecat Secretary Room) Our guy is a headhunter with a nickname (the first 4 letter word you can think of +er). He finds employees for people. Today he has a new female partner and a mission to find a missing girl plus a secretary in a company. Their excuse for being there is that they are sexual harassment detectives. What a joke, soon the guy has harassed most of the girls that work there. Good thing for him too, because with those girls' help, he will find out the funny going ons of this company. Oh, this game has nothing to do with actual werecats. Li Sun's site has a saved game file, which helps with the window menu options and includes game saves and a full CG file in case you don't want to edit one yourself. You need Windows 9X to play the game, with a mouse and some kind of sound device. The version that I got didn't need to be installed. Japanese text display software is a good idea for playing this one under non-Japanese Windows. For example, it will reveal that the third of four options at the title screen has "CG" in it (yes, that's the photoshop). (The first option is "New Game" and the last one is "Exit" (with Yes/No confirmation).) The menu options across the top of the window are: Save/Load Options Restart/Exit Help But I didn't use any of them. This is a short multiple- (i.e. "no") choice Japanese H AVG with at least 3 endings (the "try again" that I got, and at least 2 others where the fat guy with glasses does or doesn't appear, maybe even more!). I played it usually picking the first option when I had a choice, and exploring all 5 floors of the building over and over. When you finish the game, the CG option will now appear between the second and last options on the title screen menu. Choose it (CG) to see all the sexy pictures in the game (left-click to advance), and a few others. There were delays at some screens (particularly when there's nothing on but solid black) that I just had to wait through. Just left-click to advance the text until you get to a decision point, where you have to left-click on one of the options. I got through the game the first time in about an hour, but to a bad ending "try again." Right-click when a text box is on the screen to hide it (good for seeing the whole H scene). There's at least one scrolling image in the game, which appears to be made from two .BMP files stuck together. I think there are a few more with 2 or 3 images each. Left-click after it stops scrolling to scroll back, scroll more (if 3 images) or move on. To turn on all the sexy pictures in the photoshop without playing the game several times, you need to alter the C:\MESU_WIN\SYSTEM.DAT file. If you don't have the file in the right place because you haven't played the game, copy the SYSTEM.DAT file from the game directory to C:\MESU_WIN. Use a hex editor, and move to $04A0 where the "cg0##" entries start. Then, for "cg001" through "cg083", change the "00 00 00" before the "cg" ($63 67) to $00 01 00. And after "cg083" also change "00 00 00 FF" to "00 01 00 FF". Save the file and start the game again, and you should see all the CG in the photoshop. The message at the end won't have a number in it if you've got them all. Little replay value (I'm not going to bother trying to get other endings if I can look at all the .BMP files directly or patch the photoshop), but good H images. Unable to tell if this game had Japanese voice (probably not), and in my copy the music wasn't there. If you have anything to add to this file, let me know.
