Turns out being a cute cat in a cute vest can only go so far. I don't regret playing it; I'm happy I can finally join in on the conversations with this game, but overall I just felt like the gameplay was lackluster. There was an interesting bit where you could fight back using a light, but that was soon taken away. The game wants so desperately to stick with the idea that it's a cat that it comes off as alienating to those that are here for the gameplay. It feels too automated at times for its own good, with the phrase "cat walking simulator" being extremely fitting for a good part of the game.

That said, it's still fun. The characters and Slum location are pretty interesting, even if the Slums are hard to track around at times. The story is curious enough, and sometimes the cat gimmick works. I know it's not a common take, but if this was just another human game, everyone would ignore it, and I wouldn't blame them. It's definitely worth at least one walkthrough, but aside from that, I don't see myself trekking through here.
