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.

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.

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.

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

This game is hauntingly beautiful. The graphics are creative and perfect for the feel of the game. The story is mesmerizing, engaging, well-written, and heart-wrenchingly good. It's filled with hard truths and heavy topics. You will leave feeling wrecked emotionally, but it's worth it to experience this wonderfully-crafted game. The cherry on top is that you get to experience all of this as a cat named Aspen. The developers did an outstanding job at capturing a cat's mannerisms and personality. Aspen is the heart and soul of this game, and adds some much-needed humor and laughter.

Beware of the ending if you are sensible to pets A very nicely written story of a family and its issues. I admit the game makes it look like the family didin't care at all for the cat. Decent gameplay even if it is primarily point and click. If you like story-driven games, this one is for you. One thing worth mentioning is that you can tell the creators really know cats, and they gave a nice twist on explaining how and why cats can be weird sometimes. Just beware that the ending is a bit sad and I didn't really like how they portrayed the cat (I don't want to spoil things)...

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。
