[h2]Coated in Fur and Mana[/h2] I purchased this game last night after a long week of work and watching the first, 1 min long trailer you'll find above. These are the reasons I decided to buy it (aside from the other pawsitive reviews) a) cats b) magic cats c) cute, calming color palette and design, d) city building. Things I all enjoy. [h2] The Good[/h2] [list] [*] Color palette and graphics appealed to me immediately, and did not diminish during the game. The wizardy and worker cat's synchronized swaying was oddly soothing and matched the rythm of the background soundtrack. (I could see how this might not appeal to some, so happy to say there is a setting to turn that off in game.) [*]Tutorial made sense. [*]Game doesn't present anything too out-there to those of us familiar with city builders that we can't figure things out. [*]LOL, litterboxes. [*]Keyboard controls were easy and made sense, and the ability to switch to mouse, too. [*] Soundtrack: Matches the games overall aesthetic, sits in the background of the game nicely but is recognizable and chill enough [*]Mysterious villain? [/list] [h3]Accessibility[/h3] I can't speak to that outside of difficulty setting, as I did not adjust anything else (and that caused the game to crash, so I just played it on normal everything.) But I do have mobility issues in my hands, wrists and elbows and I can say that 2 hours of playing did not make anything hurt. Your mileage will always vary. [h2] The Slightly Glitchy[/h2] I use two monitors, with a resolution of 2560 x 1440. Despite changing the settings during the 1st load after purchase and download, the game Did Not Enjoy That, and behaved as if it were minimized. However, the window ceased to exist. Game still running, but run [i]where?[/i] I had to hunt it down and close it and re-start. No problem! Go to start a new game + update setting. Oooo, Advanced? Tinker with setting. Close out of settings, got the achievement for it! Game window Also Did Not Enjoy That, and disappeared. Third time was the charm! Was able to enjoy the rest of the evening's game play. Today, however, as I opened the game it appears to have forgotten my resolution + display choices. I note a few seconds before I began to write this review there was an update so maybe that will fix that, hooray? [h3] What I Don't Know / Can't Speak On[/h3] I didn't use my bluetooth controller for this one, I used my keyboard, so I can't speak on how it plays on a controller. [h2] Recommend? [/h2] [b]YES![/b] Double yes if a cozy city builder with mysterious villain(s), storms, city building, litter box strategy, management, cat, cats in wizard hats game sounds appealing, yes!
