Cats and the Other Lives

Genuinely an amazing and thought-provoking game! It makes me self-reflect on my own life and what legacy I will leave behind. I just love how all the plot interactions come from the perspective of an elderly family cat overhearing the drama and tragedy of this family. You really feel like a cat eavesdropping on conversations while doing the random wacky stuff house cats tend to do. All the characters are unique and engaging. I started off hating them and their rich snobbish personalities, but the more we learn of their backstories, the more you relate to them in your own life. The game at several points will intentionally mislead you into thinking where the plot is going and it becomes an amazing heartfelt story. I am sure you already know this, but don't expect a lot of gameplay as this is basically a walking sim with VERY light gameplay elements. Give this game a shot if you like story-driven atmospheric games. It is quite short at 4-6 hours so it might be better buying on sale. But for the enjoyment and self-reflection I got out of it, I would have paid full price.

I bawled my eyes out in the end. Very unexpected twists in the storyline. The best thing about the game is definitely the story and the bonus of seeing it from the perspective of a devoted house cat.

Playing through a family drama from the perspective of an actual cat is a genuinely charming concept. The narrative hits some surprisingly emotional beats as you explore the house and interact with everyone, even if the point-and-click pacing can drag at times. If you love story-driven indie games and don't mind a slower experience, the feline viewpoint makes it worth a look.

Simple and Cringe but i really love it, and for me the Story is really nice!

steam没有中评，但是剧情和美术很优秀，所以给这两个点个推荐。 游戏性很差，尤其是一些判定和提示很不明显，一些追逐战部分容错率很低，以至于有点烦了。（要么专心做剧情部分，要么就把一些提示和判定范围调整好） 第三章的追逐战那部分真是不看攻略都不知道要怎么过关，死了好多次。不过做完这部分之后看见猫猫回家变得虚弱不堪，连叫声都很虚弱的时候，我不知道为什么突然哭了。剧情是真的不错，但是手残党还是看别人的无声全流程视频吧。

An interesting approach to the story's point of view. I like the way you start as a cat that is just there, but isn't really a participant in the story, but as time goes on, you start to have more and more influence and see how much in fact the cat matters in the family. The story itself is intriguing, with the way the histories of the different characters unfold and how the past, present, and possible future are intertwined, but be warned that there are a couple of heavier scenes. Additionally, it was really cool that you could experience most of the typical cat activities, such as messing with people, throwing up, and screaming until a door is opened for you. Did encounter a couple of minor bugs. One was after a cutscene, the part of the room that it occurred in was left covered in a black screen. Second one happened when entering a room at the same time when an NPC that was following you started saying something and in the following room its chat bubble was left there permanently till the end of the game (loading back didn't help). There is one more regarding the achievement for the memories, which a number of people have had a problem getting after fulfilling the requirement, but at least there's a fix in the discussions, and regarding the achievements, it would be nice if there was an option to skip entire conversations and cutscenes.

这个家没有猫猫迟早得散
