This game is a lot of fun, especially if you're a cat owner.
There are a couple of (like literally two) parts that irritated me a little, both having to do with stealth (I hate stealth and escort missions to no end). But otherwise a fairly enjoyable game. Other than the aforementioned stealth BS, I only have to real 'complaints' and one of them really isn't a complaint.
1. I wish you could have customized the cat. Its your standard orange tabby, and Ive got an organge tabby (named Dewford Dingus) so that was cool. But it would have been nice to choose the breed, or at least color/coat pattern, etc. Honestly not a huge gripe by any means, just something that would have been nice.
2. Its woefully short. I completed it in about 7 hours and got it on release (7/22). Evidently if you don't really fuck with the side stuff, which there really isn't much in the first place, it can be completed in about 5 hours.
I've been waiting for this game for literal years, and its a bummer it was over so quick. But still rather enjoyable, and the fact that it's at a good price point considering the length ($25) its not too bad of a price. Definitely will go through it again to try and explore more.

Story spoilers ahead for those who care:
Spoiler:
The game starts with your kitty and his 3 other siblings in sort of a run down urban area that has been reclaimed by nature. Clearly it's the future and all humans are nowhere to be found. The siblings hop across a pipe that breaks as your kitty lands on it and it takes a tumble in what I can only describe as the most heart wrenching scene in any game in which you play a domestic cat. Your family can be heard meowing, looking for you when you land (with a limp, no less - ), its heart breaking.
The game ends with you getting back to the surface, but no sign of your family. I dont know if its because I missed a few of the scannable memories in the game, but maybe if you 100% it you get a different ending scene.
Your companion is a little flying drone that translates language, scans, and at some points is an offensive weapon. But you build a little relationship with the drone, named B12.
B12 gives his life to let you escape the predicament in the endgame. It means a bit more when he 'dies' because through the game it's revealed he was a human scientist who lost his family in a plague, and uploaded his consciousness into a network, which you end up transferring into the drone at the beginning of the game.
