Play as a cat! Dedicated meow button! What more do you want? Oh wait there's a pretty good story and setting as well! And the gameplay is great! Did I mention you play as a cat? LET'S MEOW!

What' good

  • Play as a cat!
  • CAT!
  • Meow button
  • Great story
  • Gameplay
  • Did I mention you play as a cat?

What' not so

  • A bit smaller than I had hoped

Set a post-human cyberpunk world, you play as a cat. You can meow. You can jump. You can climb. You can scratch. You can throw things. You can solve puzzles. You can explore. You can be a cat.

Come for the cat game, and stay for the story and the world building. No dialogue, no annoying micro transactions, no online-only modes. Just a cat, and a pretty visually appealing world that you can explore. And a thrilling story that you can uncover.

This is a great title. The fun little things you can do like interact with small objects on ledges to push them off. Or the way you can jump and climb and scratch and meow.
