Dystopian adventure game, starring a cat.
I just finished the game and had a blast. I was in part evaluating the game for my step-daughter who is an avid cat lover. My wife was a little concerned about some of the instances where the cat gets briefly injured, but it’s back on its feet in no time. So aside from a little tugging at the heartstrings as the cat limps for a minute or two, it’s fine.
The story does get a little dark mid-to-late game. There’s some possibly scary environments that you make your way through. As well as some light “combat” and stealth gameplay. But nothing that would be out of place in a PG Disney movie, so I feel that it’s appropriate for the kids.
There are a few scenarios where the cat can die, but it’s just the screen going red before a quick reload from the auto save. There’s no blood or gruesome imagery.
The gameplay and puzzles can potentially be frustrating. There’s some light hints in-game (via the robot/drone companion), but you’re often left to figure things out on your own. Some objectives aren’t very clear and rarely the controls can feel a little awkward. There are a lot of contextual clues however and it helps to remember that you’re small and nimble.
Optional side quests can be time consuming, but do reward adorable little badges for your cat’s harness in-game. Some of the trophies/achievements are quite challenging. The “memories” for your drone companion can be fairly well hidden and provide plot points. So if those are missed, some of the story is left vague.
All in all, I think it’s a great game and with small studio expectations, I was very impressed. I spent about 6-7 hours during my play through and still missed a few things. You are able to go back and replay the various chapters of the game to pick up the things you missed or just replay part of the game that you enjoyed.
