Little Kitty, Big City

An adorable exploration game where you play as a kitty trying to find its way back home. You get to explore a small part of a Japanese town and find “shinies,” hats, fish, digging spots, and complete quests. However, I do wish that for the price tag there were more content to explore - both in terms of a bigger map and more things to find or quests to complete. I would highly recommend waiting for a good discount or getting it in a bundle. Works without any issues on Linux with Proton (9.0-4).

The only thing I regret about this game is leaving it unplayed for months. I'm not typically a "cat person" so I left it for later. Let's just say it was a mistake. It's a game that's primarily about exploration, about finding little nooks and crannies that allow you to reach another area, finding its secrets, discovering things for characters you meet along the way or just for achievements (a lot of these are about collecting, be warned). There are a lot of games like these but the charm of the characters, the genuine fun of the laid back "plaforming" and the huge map make it a joy to manage to find some secret or reach new heights to peruse your city. The game is not very directive and lets you explore and pick and choose what you want to do. The ultimate goal is to be able to go back home, which is quite a cool climb. For this you will need to fulfill a few missions for NPC that will help you acquire the skills you need to make it home. You don't even have to do more than that if you are not into collecting or are tired of exploring but the game makes exploring very rewarding so you'll likely want to keep going.

A nice and cozy game where you play as a kitty trying to go back home after falling from your human's window while napping, the game is really cute, you can customize the kitty with silly hats and even the fur and colors, to try and match your own kitty. Gameplay is simple so even kids can play it easily enough, you can jump and hit with each paw to move objects or throw stuff with your paws and even make humans trip and fall. It runs on small potato pcs too or big potato ones! Its a bit short, but its worth it on sale, since it can be played after finishing it to find all the hats or do some extra side content.
