The game is all about how fast and how precisely you can click, in a cat-themed setting. There's not much gameplay, and sadly no ranking system. The smart move by the devs is using the "loafing cat" to create the game. The cat is comfortable, making player feels relaxed, too. If the game is set in another theme, it probably wouldn't have earned as many sales or positive reviews. [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43342176-Why-Not-Games/#browse] My curator page

In this ever-evolving digital age, where the most profound concepts are often reduced to a few clicks of a mouse, Cat or Bread stands as a true philosophical experience. What begins as a seemingly simple task—click the cat, not the bread—quickly unravels into a deep exploration of the human condition, moral free will, and the eternal struggle between instinct and consciousness. The Plot (or Lack Thereof): At first glance, Cat or Bread presents itself as a game with a deceptively straightforward premise: choose the right thing. But is it really that simple? Cats—the universal symbols of freedom, independence, and mystery—represent our deep-seated aspirations for something greater. Bread, with its humble simplicity and comforting familiarity, symbolizes the mundane necessities, the foundation upon which life sustains itself. The real question becomes: do you choose the transcendent (the cat) or the tangible (the bread)? The Gameplay: A Symphony of Clicking and Existential Doubt "Clicking" sounds banal, but every click in Cat or Bread is an existential act. The game presents images in a rhythmic tempo: a cute cat with sparkling eyes, or a perfectly toasted slice of bread fresh from an imaginary Parisian boulangerie. You must decide quickly—cat or bread?—but soon, you’ll find your judgment faltering. What if the cat isn’t really a cat, but a loaf of bread in disguise? And then there’s the rare glitch: a bread loaf with ears or a croissant-shaped cat. Those moments of hesitation, of confusion, of introspective panic… that’s when Cat or Bread truly grips you. It forces you to confront the question: what if the choices we make in life aren’t as black-and-white as they seem? The Philosophical Depth: A Metaphor for Life At its core, Cat or Bread poses a question as old as humanity itself: what does it mean to choose? Do you always go for the obvious—the cat, because it’s cute—or do you dare to embrace the bread, which represents comfort and stability? Each misclick is a miniature tragedy. You hear a sad meow when you accidentally click the bread—a poignant reminder of life’s impermanence and the impossibility of ever doing everything perfectly. But therein lies the beauty: the game teaches you to fail. And through failure, you learn to live. The Graphics: A Picasso-Like Interpretation of Cats and Carbs The visual style of Cat or Bread is minimalist, yet hypnotic. The cats exude a surreal charm, their eyes seemingly peering into the deepest recesses of your soul. The bread, on the other hand, is almost unfairly appealing—its golden crust practically taunting you. The contrast between the flowing lines of the cats and the geometric precision of the bread mirrors the eternal struggle between chaos and order in our own lives. The Soundtrack: An Emotional Rollercoaster of Meows and Melodies A soothing piano score accompanies the early levels, but as the pace quickens, the music transforms into a frantic mix of jazzy beats and intermittent cat meows. It’s as if the composer wants to amplify your inner turmoil as you try not to spiral into an existential crisis. Conclusion: A Masterpiece of Absurd Simplicity Cat or Bread is not just a game. It’s a mirror in which you see yourself, a comedy of human fallibility, and an ode to the impossible pursuit of perfection. It is a paradox in pixels: profound, hilarious, and maddening in equal measure. So yes, it’s a game where you click cats and avoid bread. But isn’t that life itself? An endless series of choices between the unknown and the familiar, the adventure and the safety, the mystery of the cat and the comforting aroma of freshly baked bread? My final score? 5 meowing cats out of 5. But be warned: after playing, you’ll never look at a cat or a loaf of bread the same way again.

Although the task seems simple - to determine whether it is a cat or a loaf of bread - it turns out that it is not always so easy. This game shows us that even simple things can be surprisingly difficult. The similarities between textures and shapes make it sometimes hard to tell the difference between a cat and bread, forcing us to think about how well we know the world around us.
