In this game you play as a cat. Just a regular cat, doing cat things, trying to explore and escape from a vast mechanical city. The setting is a beautiful, dark, cyberpunk aesthetic. The gameplay is smooth (the chase scenes are a bit challenging). Great story, emotionally gripping. Controls are easy to learn. It's a different video game experience, but worth it. Bit short, but it stays with you.

There are a couple of aspects about the game that personally I didn't have issues with but I can see others feeling otherwise. The game is quite easy overall, with very few actual moments that have challenge, so people might get bored of that, on top of that there are definitely glitches in the game, although most of them don't seem to be game breaking, rather just little quirks that make for a good laugh, although people have had issues with playing, for instance I had my game crash on me once which was a bit annoying. Luckily the game has an autosave system, although there's no manual saving, so if you wanted to save before you stop playing, you'd either have to progress the story a bit or find a spot that does it for you, that would have to be my only real gripe with this game.
Even with that all on top, I still think this game is an absolute gem that is fully deserving of a playthrough, and again it isn't long so you could easily finish it in a session or two depending on the type of player you are. It also isn't too steep of a price either, I do think you're getting your money's worth, and hey if you don't like it, you can always return it. Highly recommended, took me about 4.5 hours to complete!
