Little Kitty, Big City - a cat lover's dream

I finally got around to playing the game. And it was so worth it! And the game is very different from Stray, this is a much more casual and lighthearted game. Though I do recommend you play both the games if you haven't so far.

In Little Kitty, Big City you get to play as a cat and navigate through the neighborhood. The main goal of the game is fairly straightforward, find your way back home. There are some side quests you can do and I definitely recommend playing the whole game including all the side quests. I don't want to spoil any details of the game so I won't tell you more about the setup.

And don't worry, (and the game will tell you this before the beginning), the cat is not harmed in any way in the game. So even if you fall (or jump, if you want to) from a tall building, the cat is not injured. But I do warn that you might feel the fall in your stomach! At least I did!

Visuals of the game are super cute

The images for this post are my screenshots from the game. I never take screenshots (unless by accident), but this time there was a quest for them! It was actually quite fun coming up with nice places or settings for pictures.

The game is soon getting an update, after which you can also customise your cat, among other things. That will be a nice addition, though I feel the game is really nice as is.

In the game, you can also collect hats for the cat to wear. Though the hats were cute, I didn't want to wear them outside of quests. I did try most of the hats on, though, because I was curious to see them.

You get to do cat things

It wouldn't be a cat game if you couldn't do some "cat things". One activity you can do is drop things, usually some kind of plant pots. And another is tripping humans. Tripping humans was a lot trickier than expected based on my experience with my cats. :) There were also several other fun activities but I don't want to spoil them here.

You can also meow with a cute voice or do some emotes like napping. The emotes felt a bit weird for me to use; I never remembered how they were supposed to be done. But meowing on the other hand... super fun while going around.

Running around really felt like zoomies, and it was also called that in the game. They clearly have seen how cats behave during zoomies. The cat had very realistic cat movements in general.

Thoughts about gameplay

The game was quite casual, which was nice. I felt the gameplay supported the cute visuals really well. The cat is just adorable in its movements. The casual gameplay and cute visuals both made the experience more relaxing for me.

You get to meet many animals, all of whom have their own stories. I found myself chuckling or laughing several times. The content is very well written, and the story is fun. In the thumbnail picture for this post is Tanuki the raccoon, whom I really enjoyed. To be honest, I don't think there was any animal story I didn't enjoy.

When you finally reach the end,  you get to name your cat. And while the cat looks nothing like him, we named the cat Osiris. It just felt right.
