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

If you are going to put a cat in a game, it should live, be happy and loved. I gave it a negative review because of that but change it since they help street cats...

I was expecting just an endearing and little silly game - you know, climbing on furniture, dropping things on the floor, seeing ghosts, the typical orange cat experience. The story that unraveled through the three chapters (and an epilogue) of Cats and the Other Lives actually caught me off guard though. Beautifully written and developed, funny and darker where it needed to be, the narrative evolves in such a way that will have you engaged through its whole duration. Of course, be aware that this is basically a "story-game" - there's not much free roaming as you're railroalded into the spaces you can enter each time and thus the story develops in a single track, you might say. But this single track is impeccable. If you like this type of games - and cats, obviously - then it's definitely a must for you.

Though the mini games were often a bit tedious, the story and charming art direction more than makes up for it. This game manages to handle some sensitive topics with the respect they deserve, and it definitely managed to get me choked up at times. Bring tissues, just in case.

you are a cat, but more than that: you are an observer of the stories around you and of the things that happened in this house; The writing is good, like REALLY good: characters feel real, relationships feel believable, drama doesnt feel artificial no new or interesting gameplay mechanics, but this game doesnt need them; its an interactive story with light puzzle mechanics
