A much more accurate cat experience than Stray, because in this game all this drama is happening and meanwhile the cat is just grooming herself and chasing bugs and stuff.

The game itself is great, however the game play and control could be better... sometimes you do something completely right but it should have been a little more to left and now the whole puzzle doesn't work etc ... Also beware people who can read arabic script, you will be severely disappointed... the arabic used is running left to right :( the story is amazing tho and i cried

The game's controls are horrendous. I almost quit a number of times because it was so frustrating, especially the last section. AWFUL. but i love watching soap operas so i had to see it through, the story was enjoyable this family needs ✨ so much therapy ✨

Listen. Listen to me. I am holding your face gently. As a writer, this is the game you dream of writing. I don't think I stopped crying from the start of the third act through the epilogue. Thank you to the devs for making something that was far, far more than I was expecting. No bugs on this end. All emotion. If you like story games: play it.
