The great thing for cat fans, from the adventure game, to the RPG, right through to jump-and-run content, everything is included. So you won't get bored! So that you get a quick overview of exciting game titles from the world of velvet paws, we present our top 5 video games with cats to you in this post.
When 20-year-old Mea Borowski dropped out of college, and thus returned to her roots two years after she left her homeland, she had no idea how much has changed in Possum Springs, a former mining town. The city still feels familiar, but at the same time its homeland has become alien to it. Your friends and family, on the other hand, seem to have adapted to the changes.
The crumbling town of Possum Springs has always had something depressing about Mea, almost as gloomy as her own gloomy thoughts, and then another problem plagues her: growing up! If her friends seem to be leaving their youth behind, she lives the life of a rebellious teenager who steals, riot, vandalism and, in addition to playing in a band, indulges in a fight or two and prefers to only look at work from afar .
Night in the Woods - autumnal indie cat adventure
The video game starring cats is an eclectic mix of a side scroller, point and click adventure game, with platform and comic elements, plus some minigames waiting to be uncovered. Mea is moved through Possum Springs, using roads, roofs and power lines to explore the area, its inhabitants and their dark secrets.
The video game Night in the Woods, by Infinite Fall, has no end goal, rather puzzles are to be solved and mini-content discovered so that Mea can learn more about herself and her past. The game is accompanied by magical music, which, in addition to its great artwork, gives the game something very special.

More informationSpacecats With Lasers - Funny cat shooter in space
If you like shooters and cats, you will find a pretty wacky version of both in Spacecats!
In the arena shooter you slip into the role of a cat who shoots sneaky space mice in space using laser weapons. Your goal: nothing less than to save the universe. You can disguise the Spacecat, for example as a unicorn, and let it fly on different space bases, such as a piece of cheese or a tasty burrito. While you then have to fight your way through whole hordes of wild space mice, the evil pug king, and thus the final boss, is already rubbing his greasy paws.
But until then it is important to watch out for Spacecat and you! The bad mice appear unpredictable, sometimes behind your back or outside the picture and only rarely in such a way that the shot at the opponent is easily possible. Spacecat can only fire a certain number of laser shots, after which it has to be reloaded in order to switch off the hordes of mice. But in the course of the game, some enemies drop power-ups from time to time, which, for example, can immediately reload ammunition and permanent upgrades can also be switched on gradually.
Among the video games with cats, Spacecats with Lasers, by Bitten Toast Games, is certainly one of the bizarre shooter titles, but it is stressful, colorful and surprisingly tricky, with a cute, almost silly-looking cat theme, which is, however, in the style of the video game fits.

More informationAnother Sight - between steampunk, Alice and adventure game
With the debut title Another Sight, the Milan-based developer Lunar Great Wall Studios, not only an exciting puzzle adventure was developed, but the relationship between the young girl Catherine and the cat Hodge plays an unusually important role. So emotions are not neglected either.
The video game takes place in a gloomy, fairytale steampunk London of the late nineteenth century. Catherines, or Kits as she is called, beloved father has disappeared. Troubled, she sets out on the mysterious search for him, but not alone: Hodge, a street cat she befriends, helps her search through the Victorian steampunk town, which is always reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. A particularly big advantage of this friendship is hidden in the fact that Hodge can take over vision for Kit in low-light situations. Because this has been limited in its view since a tragic accident.
In this video game, with a cat as the main character, the player can switch between the two characters at any time, for example to use Hodge's better eyesight and thus discover things in the dark, with which Kit can then interact. So you can only get through the individual levels with the help of both characters, which is not always easy.
