It's a cute little escape the room point and click puzzle game of trying to set up a string of events to get a group of cats to escape the room. The premise is that you are older cat woman who recently died and wants to free her cats from the apartment. The depiction of death is maybe a little insensitive, but it's mostly treating the situation lightheartedly. It only took me ten minutes to complete so it's not a big time investment since you can play it in your browser.
Early on I got stuck at the police station, but once I realized you don't have to do the tasks in order it started going a lot more smoothly. I think it's a really good effort for a single dev. One thing I was impressed with is the sound effects, usually they are minimal or forgettable in a small title like this, but here they do a good job of immersion with the background noise.
I did have some minor gripes. This is something that I agree with Dave Gilbert about, but I am really tired of super obvious Monkey Island references in adventure games. Devs really need to get past that. Secondly, the plot became a little confusing especially at the half way point where it changes pretty abruptly. However, the gameplay improves in the second half when the game opens up with more locations and longer puzzle chains
In summary, the high points are certainly the art and sound design and the puzzle chains for the middle section. In the end I don't think I really understood the plot that well and probably picked the bad ending. So that's kind of my main complaint.
7/10
