Lyssa Greywood's Reviews
It's such an innovative RPG design, compared to what we see a lot of in the genre now. A fully grayscale game like this is already intriguing, but I felt entranced by the white glow of the torches, unnerving floating and talking skulls, and the CRYPTMASTER themselves... I also found the rats strangely off-putting. I don't know if it was all the time I spent wandering around in Chapters 1 and 2, but... Gods, it's the eyes. So many beings in CRYPTMASTER have those weird, swirling eyes. They're difficult to look at.
I didn't want this game to be another Stray... Stray has much more dystopian themes. It's very realistic, both in art and in the possibilities of human life that it imagines the future to hold. Little Kitty, Big City doesn't have any of that darkness hanging overhead. The freedom that a modern and funny cat game gave its own artists really shows in the weird and wonderful things that the game includes. For example, you'll see humans that are so much taller than little kitty and have no clear faces, yet they can express joy and anger easily; other animals look more detailed than their surroundings, as if little kitty sees potential friends clearer than anything else.
