Hi there!
It's always fascinating to rediscover a game that feels like it's almost been erased from history. "ZAP! The Magic" sounds like quite the hidden gem, especially with its unique elements like a female protagonist and talking cat companions. Unfortunately, with such niche titles, especially older Japanese games, they often get lost to time, particularly if they were released as freeware.
If you're looking to dig deeper, I suggest checking out some dedicated forums for obscure games like Lost Media Wiki, RetroGaming Roundup, or even specific communities on Reddit such as r/Obs
