Little Kitty Big City

Feeling Catty

by

It’s been a catty couple of days. I picked back up on Little Kitty Big City! I haven’t touched it in quite awhile, so decided to wander the city and complete a few quests. I also took the time to check out another cat indie game called Copycat.

These two games are like two different ends of a spectrum. Little Kitty Big City is a lighthearted game about accidentally falling out of your window and into the big city. You meet other animals, hats and other things along the way. Meanwhile Copycat is more of a realistic interactive story about how shitty people can be to cats. After finishing Copycat I had to chase it off with some Little Kitty Big City to raise my mood back up. I’ll cover both of them in more detail when I’m feeling better. Been kind of out of it the last couple days. Nothing a little rest can’t cure.

Little Kitty, Big City Demo: First Impressions

Little Kitty, Big City is like a mix of Stray meets Untitled Goose Game. You play as a cat… but instead of it being a dramatic story about being a cat in a dystopian world trying to find your way to the outside world, you’re just a cat trying to get back to your apartment and finding shenanigans along the way.

The game opens to our cat based protagonist having a small nap in their window spot. You wake up and inevitably fall to your doom, and end up landing in a trashcan. That’s when the cat adventures truly begin.

Despite being a cat you have a kitty themed to-do list. You’re too hungry to climb back up to your home, but a friendly crow made you an offer of one fish for 25 shinies or “shiny garbage” that the crow has offered to recycle… probably.

FOOD

In this universe there are humans you can rub up against, or trip and steal their swag at the speed of cat. Last night I stole someone’s cell phone, and today I used bread to attract birbs. Not to eat them, but for the currency of one feather each. Some animals will accept feathers and will give you something in return.

There’s a good chance that I’ll probably buy this on day one, or even pre-order it if the devs can deliver unto me a sacred watermelon hat to find in the game. 😛 The demo was a lot of fun to play, and I’ve already wishlisted the ever loving shit out of it. I’m looking forward to seeing how this comes along!

Science, Time Travel, and Cats

It’s been mostly work and hardly any play these last couple of days. So I took a break tonight and played a couple of games! Steam Next Fest is currently going again, and I’ve seen some of my Steam friends playing “Little Kitty, Big City” and I figured why not give it a go? It’s similar to Stray, in the sense that you wander around as a cat. But the aesthetics are more cartoony, and you can interact with humans and have conversations with other animals. Looks like we’ll have another cat game to look forward to next year!

I also had a small itch to return to Portal Reloaded, if only to solve one test chamber. It took me awhile to think about it, but I did manage to make it past the 2nd laser puzzle. Next time I play the game I’ll have to see what Test Chamber 15 has in store for me. I want to finish it one of these days to try out the torturous co-op option! 😛
