Oct. 2024

I was never so damn angry and sad at the same time about a game. Mostly I was irritated though. I did not enjoy it, and I doubt any animal lover will. Don't expect too much; it's a short and interactive story. Still profound with a great message, but I fear it won't reach the right people. Thank you for hurting my feelings.

Sept. 2024

I did not enjoy this game, I don't think animal lovers will. That said I am giving it a thumbs up because I think the story is important and has been conveyed well. I'm just confused about how it's intended to get that message to those that need to hear it, as they are not going to play this game, in-fact I feel like the game is preaching to the converted in many ways. I'm not going to comment on the story any further as I think there's been plenty of commentary on this aspect in other reviews, also not a fan of spoiling the story as some others have. Suffice to say that the story is not just about the cat, it's far more complicated than that. Kudos for tackling some tough and controversial topics. As far as gameplay goes, I played through it twice (first blind, second for remaining achievements) and feel like the "Nature Expert" didn't add anything outdoors. The feelings of abandonment, rejection and isolation could have been explored far more naturally without his cheesy "insert humanised commentary about big/wild cats here" telling Dawn what she should be thinking and what to do/where to go next and the "hint" ribbon also detracted from being "lost" in a similar way. I don't have a problem with linear progression but this really just soured my experience. The white "pop-up" text was ample. "There's no magic left in the universe" - damn straight, thanks for reminding me Dawn. The only human with any redeeming qualities in the entire game was the kid with the plane.

What an odd game. It's the story about an old selfish woman who cares more about what animals can do for her than what happens to the animals themselves, her even worse daughter, and some cat lives they affect along the way. The game acts as if it is portraying a message, and yet the message makes absolutely no sense at all. You could even say that the ending message was unethical, if taken to heart. The sheer oddness of the twisted message makes it worth taking part in in some way. Playing this game and experiencing what it's trying to say feels kind of the same as if you were playing a game about social cues that was written by someone autistic. For some people, the message is going to make them upset and it will make them down vote the game, and that is understandable. But the enjoyment of getting to play the cat still made it fun for me overall, and the backwards convoluted message is something quite different to experience.

Sept. 2024

Reading some of the comments, especially the negative ones, I'd just say: Yes, the game is "short" (2.5 - 3 hours)... and yes, the game is not for everyone. Probably if you never have had cats, it just might not be for you as I can imagine the emotional parts do not kick off too much. And that is what the game is about, the journey and the feelings, not the "gameplay". As the description, the trailers and the "emotional" tag was not "warning" enough for some, here again: It is NOT a light hearted cute cuddly story about a cat. If you're still unsure, play the demo, it will give you an idea of the game's tone and the direction. Then decide if you want to follow the storyline and buy the game or stop right there. It might save you from wrong expectations.

Oh my heart. This game made me tear up several times. It touched so many aspects of my life I’ve struggled with or am struggling with. I was adopted and was bullied a lot growing up, and I never “fit in”. My mom is also currently dying from pancreatic cancer, and that sense of abandonment has been strong lately. What an incredible game. 10/10 would recommend.
