Stray

Opening our list is perhaps the most popular game featuring a ginger cat who finds himself in a cyberpunk world. The beginning of the story is quite charming: the main character plays with his siblings but accidentally ends up in a world of genuine despair inhabited by robots. Some of them dream of a better life, while others have lost all hope.

The goal is to return to his family. This journey will be very engaging because you'll not only wander and explore the world but also learn the stories of the robots. A small robot, who is trying to restore his memory piece by piece, will assist the fluffy companion.

Honestly, this game brought me to tears. I don't regret playing it, but I doubt I'll dare to repeat the experience. However, I recommend everyone spend time on this wonderful and touching title.

Little Kitty Big City

Next, we have a black kitten. No, he certainly won’t bring bad luck, so you can confidently play as this character. The goal here is similar to Stray: the fluffy hero urgently needs to get home after getting lost in a big city, having fallen out of a window.

The aim is to do this as quickly as possible, but how when there are so many interesting things around? And those birds are constantly distracting. You just want to catch them! The kitten isn't too upset about being lost because the big world sparks the character's curiosity, which isn't easy to satisfy.

The location is vast and fully open. Players can peek into various houses, fish shops, tip over trash bins, and much more. The main thing is to avoid getting caught by the local homeless shelter. For your mischief and hunting, the cat will earn bonus points and special currency, which can be spent on various items.

Catlateral Damage

Welcome to the simulator where you play as a cat who wreaks havoc and derives incomparable pleasure from it (perhaps only more than from wet food). Here, players can fully immerse themselves in the life of a fluffy rascal, destroying everything in the house. All of this must be done before the owner comes home from work. They will surely be delighted when they see the "beauty" you’ve created with your fluffy paws.

There is also a mission to find all the photographs, and there are more than 200 of them. But don’t get distracted from the main task — creating a dreadful mess. Ready to break away from human mundane routines? Then install this game quickly!

Bad Cat

Remember the legendary game Neighbours from Hell? Well, the developers were clearly inspired by this project when creating Bad Cat. The location and overall concept will seem painfully familiar to many users.

A chubby, fluffy cat named Burger loves to cause trouble: he can throw a rubber duck into the toilet, replace a toy gun with a real one, or... relieve himself on the dog’s bed. You know, those everyday antics of a fluffy rogue. Moreover, the cat has decided to prank the residents who have recently moved into their new home. They probably expected a peaceful life, but… aha-ha, no!

Before the timer runs out, you need to use household items and the pet’s abilities to ruin the lives of a balding man in a T-shirt, underwear, and slippers, his housekeeper, and the dog. It’s important not to get caught by them. After each successful prank, the cat starts dancing slyly. After completing a stage, a rating is awarded. Familiar gameplay, isn’t it?

Inspector Waffles

In this game, you will team up with a serious, fluffy inspector to investigate a murder. The case is not easy, and you definitely can't do without paws! You’ll have to inspect every corner to find an extra clue that will lead to the criminal. But always be cautious, as there are cases when curiosity can be deadly — in the literal sense.

The gameplay involves moving around the screen, talking to numerous characters by choosing dialogue options, searching for quest items, and solving numerous puzzles. The game is full of dark and satirical humor and contains references to many famous detective works, including literature and cinema. It will be interesting and engaging, so don’t overlook this title.

Copycat

A touching indie game that tells the story of a shelter cat who faces challenges after another cat, his doppelgänger, enters his home and infiltrates the protagonist's dwelling. The premise already seems very interesting.

This is a highly emotional adventure that emphasizes the importance of love and support. The project is aimed at creating a constructive and solitary journey. You will need to survive on dangerous streets, wander through locations in search of food, and find solutions to problems. You must face dirt, rainy weather, and garden gnomes. In short, for a while, the gamer becomes a homeless animal struggling to live alone in harsh conditions.

Players will experience the cold loneliness and the pain of lost love from a human side. You will witness how a domestic cat gradually lets go of his past life and becomes an adult, mature creature capable of standing up for himself. Additionally, you need to complete small tasks and make decisions that influence certain events.

Petit Island

Next on our list is a cute and vibrant arcade game that places players on a tropical island. An entire continent is open for players to explore, find interesting things, take cool photos while climbing high points. The goal of this project is to preserve memories by putting in considerable effort to ensure they don’t disappear completely.

The story revolves around a girl and her grandfather. He is already old, and his memory isn't as good as it used to be. His memories are fading, as is his life, so his granddaughter embarks on a journey to relive all that her beloved grandfather experienced in his youth. She takes his diary with her.

This is not a static world: there is plenty of interesting content: you can find treasures, interact with people and other animals, explore villages and towns, and complete quests. Each character has their own story that captivates, making playing Petit Island enjoyable.

Cattails | Become a Cat!

So, the next pixel-art game will closely resemble the famous Stardew Valley, but you'll be playing as a cat. You’ll live in a cat settlement and have to get along with them. You can even build romantic relationships with one of them and have kittens. When the kittens grow up, take them on adventures and teach them hunting skills. Isn’t that great?

Additionally, incredible adventures await you. For example, the protagonist can explore surrounding lands and delve into dungeons to find treasures. However, you always need to have food in your inventory to prevent hunger from draining all your strength. Join one of three colonies or become sworn enemies. Once you join a colony, the cat needs to protect allies from attacks by enemy factions.

There is a dynamic change of seasons. After each season, you can find new treasures, adding variety to the gameplay. You can also change the main character's appearance by altering the fur color or wearing accessories. In short, living here will be fun.

Shelter 2: Mountains

In this game, you’ll play as lynxes. However, these are essentially cats, only larger and more dangerous. The first thing that attracts to the project is its unique graphics. They look cartoonish yet appealing. The overall atmosphere, soundtracks, and storyline are also noteworthy.

You will need to care for four offspring who are about to discover how beautiful and dangerous this world is simultaneously. Over time, they will grow up and leave the pack, no matter how sad it may be.

The second part offers an open playground with instant flora generation. However, don’t wander aimlessly through the world, as it’s crucial for a predator to find food while avoiding becoming prey. From the first minute, the title may seem monotonous and unchanging, but over time, players become immersed in the role, forming attachments to the young ones and the pack, while wolf attacks become real action.

Nine Noir Lives
