After wanting this game for a good while I'm quite disappointed. The map has spots where you can fall through, you can get stuck on invisible walls. I also found getting around the map to be confusing. There is a map for you to reference as you walk around but without quest markers or being able to mark points of interest, it wasn't of much use to me. It's definitely a cute game but that's all I really felt there …

Very cute and brought me a warm sort of comfort after losing my little man. The kitty customizer is far more intensive than I thought it was going to be, and I'm very impressed. Gameplay is satisfying and fun. Great way to relax after a stressful day. ♥

Meow at everyone. Steal food. Wear 30 hats. Ignore the main quest. Best cat simulator ever. 11/10!

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.

I would highly recommend waiting for a good discount or …

You are a cat and you do cat things. Doing cat things is fun. Really loved to hunt the achievements.

positive · AI labelView post →Little Kitty Big City is the kind of game that I'm sure a lot of people were hoping Stray was gonna be. It is very silly, and fluffy. The mechanics are similar, though LCBC is actually less forgiving with platforming (as it is the central mechanic, as opposed to Stray which focuses on other things)
