It was a nice experience. But that was all – nice. I wasn’t completely taken by the story, nor the mechanics nor the atmosphere of the world. It was nice to be a cat and do catlike things. It was certainly interesting to explore part of the world and work on little tasks, but I was always caught up with a feeling of “is that all?”.
Our silent protagonist is cute, though empty when peaked beyond the little scratches, jumps and meows. Our pseudo-human partner is very superficial, with little emotional impact when its time came. And the AIs? It did have nice moments but, none of them awesome, deep, or meaningful. And that’s just the thing – nice, neither good nor great.
