Stray was fun enough but not really because of the cat angle. The first bit’s are novel but, as the game progresses, the need for a player to be a cat diminishes. The game could be EXACTLY the same if your persona was another small animal, a robot, a miniaturized person, whatever.
You can meow and scratch, but there’s no “hwarf up a huge slimy hairball” button
i’m currently playing Stray, and i really love it. my cats also were briefly entertained.
If you like Stray but wanted more cat gameplay, check out Peace Island. It’s still in development, but has a playable demos (for patreon backers).
Disclaimer: I’m a backer, and have been following the amazing work from this small team since the beginning, and I cannot wait for this game!
Bonus points for inappropriate timing and location?
You may want to keep an eye on Peace Island. It is all about the cats!
In other thrid prrson cat games, i kind of liked the Psychic Cat game from years back. At least the premise and weird psychedelic world were really intriguing.
But it was something of a walking simulator. And those can be fun, but this one often seemed to be a long bit of walking through nothing between weird encounters. Also, if there was ever a goal, it was unclear to me.
