Cats and the Other Lives offers a well-written story with charming visuals and an unusual perspective from the main character. As a game that blends point-and-click adventure with a 2D walking simulator, it’s entertaining, but the plot’s resolution is predetermined, and you have absolutely no influence over it. On your second playthrough, you’ll enjoy all the details you missed before, collect the rest of the achievements, and then you’ll likely have no reason to return to the game. However, a little emotional appeal from the developers might help you make up your mind, as part of their earnings goes toward surgeries for stray cats.
