It's hyped everywhere right now. So it's likely woke garbage or window dressing.

Requires windows 10.

I pass.

Looks like a nice pozz-free relaxing game to play after a hard day's of work, but I personally can't justify paying nearly 40 canuck bucks for a game that only lasts 4-6 hours with basically no replay value.

I recommend reading what a lot of the negative reviews on Steam note as many of them are spot on.

Looked like a really interesting idea for a game, but was poorly done. It was extremely limited in what you could do and was also basically on rails and not open world. They mostly failed to create the game they said they were making and marketed it as. They also flat out lied about some aspects of it to make it look better than it was to get in on the "you play as a cat!" bucks.

You are not able to jump to a ledge or a box at will or explore areas, you can only do that when a quick time button prompt demands that you need to jump to that specific spot to advance through a 'puzzle' or to get to a certain area.

The cat you control is also extremely inaccurate in regards to movements and mannerisms. I don't think the animators or anyone involved has ever owned a cat, been around a cat, or even watched a few videos of cats being cats at any point in their life. You would think developers making a game where you specifically play as a cat would want it to be as accurate or realistic as possible. They could replace the cat you control with a block of cheese and it would pretty much make no difference to the gameplay or experience.

Word. I didn't dig into the reviews yet as Steam said 'overwhelmingly positive' but if it has shitty cat mechanics I'm gonna pass. Or wait till it's like $5-$10.
