All Novel Full Chapter 1265
Chapter 1265: Chapter 1141: Homeward Journey Promotional Material!_1 Chapter 1265: Chapter 1141: Homeward Journey Promotional Material!_1 The promotional video begins with a group of cats and dogs frolicking and running around on lush green grass outdoors.
The houses are clean and white, the sky is crystal blue, and the white clouds are soft like tufts of cotton candy.
They clump together and take the shape of puppies and kittens, one after another.
There’s even a rainbow spanning the skyline, further accentuating the fairytale atmosphere here.
The camera then zooms in on a cat and a dog from afar.
They run and frolic, creating an atmosphere filled with joy.
Suddenly, a large chunk of the ground collapses without any warning.
Milkshake, who was rolling around on the lawn, rolls down into it with no time to spare.
Cow Cat [Ameow] rushes to the edge of the pitfall, tries to bite onto the collar around Milkshake’s neck to hold him back, but it’s too small, cannot hold Milkshake back and even gets dragged down by Milkshake’s weight, falling into the pit together.
The next few seconds show them constantly rolling downwards in the pit.
Hardly making it out of the pit, they fall onto the wing of a hang glider.
With the balance of the glider broken, it starts to wobble and dive downwards.
During the descent, you can see a gloomy, damp city filled with steel and neon lights in the background.

The place they originally fell from is actually a miniature floating island, supported by rusty pipes, desolate abandoned buildings, fragmented aerial railways, and so on, completely encapsulated by a spherical holographic display!
The hang glider dives unsteadily for ten or so seconds, before finally crashing into the edge of a high-altitude swimming pool.
In the horrified meows and woofs, the cat and dog are thrown off the wing, and after falling another dozen meters, they slam onto an air cushion bed, being propelled again, and fall into a pipe.
Continuing to fall down the pipe…
The following scenes no longer continue uninterrupted, but show signs of editing.
Clearly, the development team doesn’t want to expose all of the environments in the promotional material—maintaining the tradition of Cloud Dream to keep some surprises for the players.
The surrounding scenes blend and shift, but the downward fall of Ameow and Milkshake continues unabated.
The comments change from the initial “Ouch!” “Oh my!” “Save the kids!” “Cloud Dream, you’re so cruel…”
To “Iron-Blooded!” “Indestructible!” “Fall through the core of the earth!” “Cats have nine lives, so does Milkshake!”
Not until the progress bar hits 40 seconds and the video reaches its end, the two little ones finally land on a giant mushroom with a jelly-like texture, put an end to their freefall.
They stand up, vigorously shake the fur on their bodies, squeeze together in fear, then raise their heads, yearning for a gleam of daylight revealed at the top of the cave.
An even brighter white light pours down like liquid, drawing out two big white characters—
“Homeward Journey”
In the last few seconds, the camera returns to the pet heaven from the beginning, where a group of cats and dogs are crowded around the hole, constantly meowing and barking.
Lines of text emerge on screen—
[Producer: Cheryl]
[Chief Planner: Cheryl]
[Inspiration: Cheryl]
[Lead cast: Milkshake, Ameow]
[Technical Support: Cloud Dream Pet Department]
[Special thanks to: Every Pet Employee at Cloud Dream]
[While we’re here: Special thanks to Lincoln]
——
The promotional video ends here.
Although almost no gameplay content was seen, players clearly understood the theme of this game—
Just as its name suggests, to help Milkshake and Ameow return home to where they started from, completing this difficult and distant “Homeward Journey.”
Thanks to the two adorable pet protagonists who are still funny and lively even in free fall, coupled with the constant lighthearted and lively background music, people aren’t worried about the game’s difficulty, but instead, hope that this “Homeward Journey” is longer, the better.
Following Cloud Dream’s style, as long as a scene appears on the screen, regardless of whether it is part of the main storyline or not, it can be explored.
So, the longer the “Homeward Journey”, the more abundant the game content will be!
And—this is a game where you can transform into kittens and puppies!
“Can we finally not be human?!”
Many players commented excitedly.
Although players could have already transformed into non-human entities, those were either Iron-Blooded Warriors or alien monsters and were all extended gameplay, not the main gameplay.
Not to mention, these transformations don’t look particularly appealing, and they have low approval ratings from casual players.
Yet kittens and puppies are much more pleasing than those odd creatures!
—— At least, that’s what most people believe.
Nobody really doubts that Cloud Dream could successfully develop a game where players transform into pets.
Not just because the cutting-edge technology they’ve adopted instills confidence, but it’s also mainly due to—
“That’s Cheryl, the one who has a small army of cats and dogs following wherever she goes!”
“Who would’ve thought that the infamous mole within the game would start leading a game development team?!”
“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, even the guy who watches over the water cooler in Cloud Dream’s headquarters could make an amazing game!”
“I have nothing else to say.
This is my wallet…and it’s now yours!”
…
Cheryl is far from being a nobody.
She has made more appearances than any other employee in the company, and she even meets the netizens more frequently than Lincoln does.
Aside from being a mole within the company, she also live streams her daily work at Cloud Dream and showcases the lives of their pet employees when she’s free.
As a result, whether they’re players or netizens, most people are quite familiar with her.
Now that she’s taken the lead in creating a new game, the response from netizens has been overwhelmingly positive and supportive.
Her spirits were lifted due to this outpouring of positivity, so she continued browsing through the comment section.
Then she came across a question she never would’ve thought of:
“I do have one question: Are these small animal characters that players control…
spayed or neutered?”
“?”
“If they aren’t, does that mean they can…”
“?????”
Cheryl was genuinely stumped.
“What are you pervs trying to do??”
That was her initial reaction.
The second one was…
Is it even possible?
It’s common knowledge that couples and lovers can have avatar sex in the virtual world.
But what about animals?
Could they mate in the virtual world after transforming into animals?
Cheryl genuinely didn’t know the answer.
She’d jumped into the job midway, so she had no understanding of the technical aspects of building a virtual world.
So, even though she was certain she hadn’t created any such outrageous features, she wasn’t sure if the rules of this virtual world would allow it—after all, she hadn’t actually fixed it so the players were neutered.
As for whether the technology that prevents players from crossing the line with NPCs could also restrict players from doing the same with animals…she truly hadn’t thought about it…
The only person who could clarify this…would be Lincoln.
So…
should she ask Lincoln?
Cheryl took out her phone and noticed the most recent message from Lincoln was—
[So you used me as a shield?
You are done for!]
Cheryl, whose ego had just been inflated by all the praise from players and netizens, instantly backed off, hastily making a call: “Boss, I’m sorry, I didn’t see your messages, I’m in the wrong.”
“Are you saying you didn’t see it?!” Lincoln wasn’t going to be easily fooled.
He knew she read it!
Cheryl quickly deflected, “I really didn’t see it, but let’s put that aside.
I need to consult with you on an important technical issue.”
“A technical issue?
What technical issue?”
“Uh…” Cheryl tried to come up with a subtle way to express her thoughts.
After thinking for a while, she thought it was too troublesome and so she went straight to the point:
“Can players in the game mate when they transform into cats and dogs?
Are there any restrictions from a couple’s contract if they can?
If there are no restrictions, should we make the cats and dogs in the game wear clothes?”
“?” Lincoln momentarily forgot about Cheryl’s issue of shifting the blame on him.
He didn’t even start to think about the technical aspects.
He was just doubting everything he knew: was it Cheryl who lost her mind and didn’t consider the possibility that players might get sexually excited by a cat or a dog, or was there really a netizen that twisted, with such a rare sexual quirk!?
