I bawled my eyes out in the end. Very unexpected twists in the storyline. The best thing about the game is definitely the story and the bonus of seeing it from the perspective of a devoted house cat.

This game is hauntingly beautiful. The graphics are creative and perfect for the feel of the game. The story is mesmerizing, engaging, well-written, and heart-wrenchingly good. It's filled with hard truths and heavy topics. You will leave feeling wrecked emotionally, but it's worth it to experience this wonderfully-crafted game. The cherry on top is that you get to experience all of this as a cat named Aspen. The developers did an outstanding job at capturing a cat's mannerisms and personality. Aspen is the heart and soul of this game, and adds some much-needed humor and laughter.

Genuinely an amazing and thought-provoking game! It makes me self-reflect on my own life and what legacy I will leave behind. I just love how all the plot interactions come from the perspective of an elderly family cat overhearing the drama and tragedy of this family. You really feel like a cat eavesdropping on conversations while doing the random wacky stuff house cats tend to do. All the characters are unique and engaging. I started off hating them and their rich snobbish personalities, but the more we learn of their backstories, the more you relate to them in your own life. The game at several points will intentionally mislead you into thinking where the plot is going and it becomes an amazing heartfelt story. I am sure you already know this, but don't expect a lot of gameplay as this is basically a walking sim with VERY light gameplay elements. Give this game a shot if you like story-driven atmospheric games. It is quite short at 4-6 hours so it might be better buying on sale. But for the enjoyment and self-reflection I got out of it, I would have paid full price.

I liked the game. I think I know what the developers were going for. And it looks great. The story is solid. The main issues gameplay wise for me are the following: - Action sequences with clunky MKB controls. - Slow pacing in places - Very specific triggers which are not obvious. As for the one thing I wished for which should have been present on the store page or at the start of the game is a trigger warning for certain heavy topics. I wish for that mostly so players do know up front what they will have to confront. Not everyone will have issues with these topics or the same issue might trigger but given that it might be an issue and might put people off it would be great to know this upfront. These include (without spoilers and in no particular order) - Severe illness and death (cancer) - Attempted suicide - Spousal abuse - Dysfunctional family dynamics - Animal abuse - Depression - Addiction Score: 6/9

Cat and the Other Lives, bizi, sıradan bir ev kedisinin gözünden anlatılan sıra dışı bir hikayenin içine davet eden hikaye odaklı bir macera oyunudur. Bir ailenin yıllar sonra yeniden bir araya geldiği bu evde, kedimiz Aspen olarak dolaşıyor, geçmişe ait izleri keşfediyor ve ev sakinlerinin sakladığı anılara tanıklık ediyoruz. Oyun, özellikle piksel art tarzı çizimleri ve ağır ama etkileyici atmosferiyle öne çıkıyor. Evde dolaşırken hissedilen yalnızlık ve tuhaf huzursuzluk duygusu başarılı şekilde yansıtılmış. Seslendirmeler de alışılmışın dışında; garip diyebilirim ama bu gariplik oyunun ruhuna oldukça iyi uyuyor. Kedinin hareketleri ve çevreyle etkileşimleri de doğal hissettiriyor. Ancak oynanış tarafında bazı sorunlar var. Oyunda yer alan mini oyunların çoğunda bug’larla karşılaştım. Genel olarak çok güçlü bir etki bırakmasa da, atmosferi ve anlatım tarzı sayesinde farklı bir deneyim sunuyor. Kusurlarına rağmen, hikaye odaklı anlatımları sevenler için ilginç bir oyun olduğunu söyleyebilirim.
