it's a whimsical, dystopian heroes' journey that also acts as a cute cat simulator.
the way they advertised the game it seemed something inspirsed by "goat simulator"-esque games targetting reddit users who find these games entertaining, "BatChest this is just like my cat! meow :3". but upon playing it goes beyond what i expected.
there are some beautiful moments in this game that felt almost like journey. gameplay through observation and little to zero dialogue is something i love and very particular of that i couldn't help but be impressed, but this is however short lived and suddenly you're given the ability to talk, and felt so betrayed :( .
the cyberpunk world is facinating to say the least. gameplay and puzzle solving is organic and encourages exploration, with a hint system if you ever get lost. the game design is polished finely and feels invisible at times that puzzles felt rewarding to solve. i just wish maybe the visual communication was more concise, instead of having to rely on hud pop ups to solve puzzles (i tried playing without a hud and the game became impossible, it just becomes "what piece am i missing").
along with the mystery filled story, meticulous attention to the small details, engaging and fun side content and collectables, immersive and subtle chimes and the clean yet busy feeling artstyle all work together to create a solid, intriguing experience.
it's a cute little game that i had plenty of fun with. +1 for meow button during in-game cutscenes

A fantastic game with beautiful visuals, competent game play, and a compelling story. The story is the selling point in my opinion, with the mystery being weaved very slowly, creating a great intrigue that pulls you to continue playing. Not overly difficult, nor with innovative gameplay, what is in the game is very refined and smooth with a completely satisfying and smooth experience. Atmosphere is fantastic, and I found myself wanting to learn more about the setting, even after the credits rolled.

"omg try this new game we made. you literally play a cat!"

that's cool! can't wait to run and roam around the streets and mess with the people passing by!

"yeah... except we don't have humans in this game. it's apocalyptic so we only have robots... oh, and aliens!

uhh... okay??? still, can't wait to play it and run around and jump on things!

"oh no you don't have that kind of freedom. we control what you can or can't do throughout the game."

what do you mean? like I can't easily jump on things?

"exactly"

You can't fool me, this is just S1E2 of Love, Death, and Robots except we're the cat and the world is full of robots.

Great game though! Really enjoyed it all and I didn't think it was too short like some people were complaining about. It's not outstanding in any particular way, but it's a fun well-rounded adventure!

Also, there's an extended Back to the Future reference, so that's epic.

I’m going to be real with y’all, this is no where near game of the year.

This whole game feels unbelievably clunky over it’s extremely short 5-6 hour runtime. Not a game I see myself ever returning to in order to platinum. The haptics were sparing, and the overall gameplay could be incredibly frustrating.

The novelty of being a cat wares off after about 2-3 hours in, and the whole storylines charm becomes null/void. If I had paid $40 for this rather than playing it free with PS Plus I would have been upset.
