Little Kitty, Big City

I love this kitty game so much! It blends platforming, exploration, collecting, adventure, and plenty of silly cat chaos into a charming and surprisingly addictive experience. You play as a little kitten who accidentally falls from a high place and ends up far from home. With the help of a crow and other animal friends, you explore the city, collect fish and shiny objects, help different characters, discover new abilities, and eventually try to make your way back home. The kitten is adorable and makes the whole adventure even more fun! ฅ^>⩊<^ฅ One of the things I enjoyed most is how naturally the game introduces its world. Rather than giving you the entire city and a huge list of objectives right away, it gradually unlocks new areas and mechanics as you play. Early on, you need to collect 25 shiny objects for the crow, which eventually opens up access to the larger city. Along the way, different animals introduce features such as fast travel and photo mode. This gradual progression works really well because there is always something new to discover without making the game feel overwhelming. Once the city opens up, there is a surprising amount to explore. You can wander through the streets, climb rooftops, search for hidden areas, collect shiny objects, find fish and hats, meet different animals, and complete quests. The vertical exploration is particularly fun. As your stamina improves, you can climb vines and reach higher parts of the city, where you will often find collectibles and little secrets. Collecting and equipping all the different hats is also incredibly cute and gives you another fun goal to work toward. The game is at its best when it simply lets you be a cat. You can knock things over, make a mess in shops, chase people, interact with objects, catch birds, take photos, and generally cause harmless chaos. There is even an activity log with small challenges, such as catching birds, taking photos, and making people fall over. These activities are simple, but they give you plenty of little goals to work toward. You never have to complete everything, but checking off these challenges as you explore makes the game surprisingly satisfying and gives you another reason to keep playing. The animal NPCs and their quests also give the game some structure. You can help characters unlock fast-travel locations, play hide-and-seek, and complete a variety of small tasks. The quests are rarely complicated, but that simplicity fits the cozy atmosphere perfectly. The animal characters themselves are full of personality, and their conversations are often funny, silly, and surprisingly clever, with plenty of little jokes and references. The only downside is that the physics can occasionally be a little wonky. The kitten can sometimes get stuck, clip through objects, fall unexpectedly, or even end up falling out of the map. Most importantly, the game perfectly captures what makes cats so entertaining. One moment you are seriously working on an important quest, and the next you are knocking something over or causing trouble for absolutely no reason. That freedom to simply explore, play around, and behave like a mischievous cat is what makes the game so charming. If you love cats and cozy exploration, this is an easy game to recommend!

WHAT. A. GAME. (Contains little spoilers) I've played, stray, copycat, and now this, I love the fact that dev's did not go the cheap route and make the game sad so you feel bad for the poor kitten. The world is a safe zone, and playing this game I had a good experience of just relaxing while doing light puzzles. The art style was huge for me too, something new and fun. Loved it overall, 9/10 would recommend. :)

I really love this game! It is super cute and an amusing game but it also holds little kid's attentions and is not very scary. It has a HUGE replay ability factor and it amusing and memorable. You will have to help your child play it a bit but my daughter ran with it and soon all I had to do was read to her a bit while she played and help with hard bits every now and then. The absolute best thing is that now that my daughter is learning to read she is learning super fast. She can read most of the whole game barring some of the bigger words like commemorative. I am honestly impressed listening to her read the lines out loud :) I would urge all parents if your kid likes video games get this because it is an investment. Every now and then she gets annoyed when there are a ton of big words but we just skip and eventually she forgets her angst and starts reading again. She did say she would love it if you made a "dog version" but make it so the dog can go in the water and she wants the dog to be able to trick people too like the cat. xD Thanks, Mericalandra
