Cat President: A More Purrfect Union

For me, Cat President is just a whole lot of dumb fun; the game isn’t visually pleasing, nor is it technical in any leaps or bounds, but my god do I love it – This game is definitely one to keep out of the litter box, and should be set atop the scratching posts of fame for just how much fun you can have with it after a few drinks with some purrfect company.

  • story
    62 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of "Cat President" is a whimsical and humorous take on political campaigns, where players manage the campaigns of various cat candidates, each with their own unique narrative and personality. While the gameplay is largely linear with limited branching choices leading to multiple endings, the writing shines through with clever satire and engaging character interactions, making it an entertaining experience for fans of quirky visual novels. Despite its lighthearted premise, the game manages to weave in political commentary and emotional depth, ensuring players remain invested in the charmingly absurd storyline.

    • “The strength of Cat President lies in its writing and its ability to weave humor and political satire into a genuinely sweet story.”
    • “There are 6 main characters to choose from, and selecting different speech options in the story results in some very different endings.”
    • “In conclusion, with its over-the-top story, humorous situations, and cute kitty cats, Cat President: A More Purrfect Union makes for a fascinating read and is highly recommended to visual novel, political, and cat fans one and all.”
    • “Within a particular storyline choice, the gameplay is fairly linear, consisting of a few binary choices that determine which of three endings the story will have, but do very little in terms of branching narratives.”
    • “I was hoping for a little more interaction, for example a game where your choices dictate where the story goes, but sadly that is not the case.”
    • “It's a visual novel with no gameplay, and the choice structure is very simple (pick a cat, make some choices along a linear plot and have a sound effect tell you if you chose correctly, then reach one of three endings based on how many correct choices you made).”
  • humor
    62 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in this game is widely praised for its clever writing, absurdity, and light-hearted satire, particularly regarding political themes and the concept of cat candidates. Players find the dialogue witty and often laugh-out-loud funny, with many enjoying the quirky interactions and unexpected narrative twists. While some critiques mention that the humor can feel repetitive or reliant on a single joke, overall, it delivers an entertaining experience, especially for fans of cats and offbeat comedy.

    • “This game is absolutely hilarious.”
    • “The writing was funny and the characters were pretty cute.”
    • “The whole interaction between the main character with the events is just surprisingly hilarious, and the placement of circumstances is most of the times unexpected.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game features a pleasant soundtrack that complements its cute and romantic themes, but players express frustration over the lack of options to adjust or mute the background music. This limitation is particularly concerning for livestreamers who must navigate copyright issues, as there are no sound settings available to customize the audio experience. Overall, while the music fits the game's tone, the absence of volume control options detracts from the overall enjoyment.

    • “With a pleasant soundtrack, plenty of cute cats and a sweet romantic outcome included.”
    • “The politics fanfare music fits the tone of the game as well.”
    • “Still, it is better as a livestreamer not to have to worry about the music in a game.”
    • “No sound options to turn down background music.”
    • “My only problem with it is that there isn't an options menu so I can mute the music but not the cat meows.”
    • “I want to adjust music volumes but there doesn't seem to be a way to do so.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in "Cat President: A More Purrfect Union" primarily utilize real photographic imagery for backgrounds and renders, which enhances visual quality at higher resolutions like 1440p and 4K. However, many users express disappointment over the lack of original artwork, suggesting that hand-drawn, anime-style visuals would have better appealed to the target audience. While the stock photos used are deemed acceptable, they fall short of the artistic expectations for a visual novel.

    • “Performance is a plus for this one, since it uses photographic images; the quality upscales considerably better. If you play at 1440p or 4k, the quality will be really good, especially for those who enjoy visual novels on a large screen TV!”
    • “Too bad they couldn't have funded some cute anime kitty artwork for the game, but the stock photos are not bad.”
    • “Artwork, but there is no artwork whatsoever in Cat President: A More Purrfect Union.”
    • “If this had hand-drawn, more anime-style artwork, I think it would appeal more to its target audience, which is women like me who love visual novels.”
    • “Visually, the game uses real photographic imagery for both renders and backgrounds.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is primarily a linear visual novel experience, where players make simple binary choices that lead to one of three endings, lacking significant branching narratives. While the premise of political satire featuring cat candidates is intriguing, the execution focuses more on a romantic storyline with minimal interactive elements, resulting in a straightforward and somewhat disappointing gameplay experience. Each candidate's campaign lasts about 90 minutes, totaling around 9 hours for completion.

    • “Each campaign will set you back around 90 minutes each to finish the 10 chapters in each candidate’s campaign, meaning you’ll get around 540 minutes, or 9 hours of gameplay, if you get the best endings on your first attempt.”
    • “With the expectation of a game making fun of the absurdity in politics by portraying presidential candidates as cats, it was somewhat disappointing that the gameplay turned out to be mostly about cosplaying a female with furry romantic interests in said candidates.”
    • “Within a particular storyline choice, the gameplay is fairly linear, consisting of a few binary choices that determine which of three endings the story will have, but do very little in terms of branching narratives.”
    • “It's a visual novel with no gameplay, and the choice structure is very simple (pick a cat, make some choices along a linear plot and have a sound effect tell you if you chose correctly, then reach one of three endings based on how many correct choices you made).”
  • emotional
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is described as a mix of wholesome moments overshadowed by uncomfortable and cringe-worthy dialogues, particularly related to dating elements. While some players found these interactions off-putting, they also recognized that the game had potential for fun if not for the emotional distress caused by these elements.

    • “But it's actually kind of wholesome in a really weird way.”
    • “It's sad, because if not for the dating stuff, which overshadows the good parts and actually made me feel physically sick, this game would've just been fun and nothing else.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is highly praised, particularly for its impressive performance at higher resolutions like 1440p and 4K, thanks to the use of photographic images that enhance visual quality significantly. Players have noted that this makes it an excellent choice for those who enjoy visual novels on large screens.

    • “Performance is a plus for this one, since it uses photographic images. The quality upscales considerably better, meaning if you play at 1440p or 4K, the quality will be really good. And yes, I’m looking at all of you who play visual novels on the large screen TV!”
    • “The optimization in this game is impressive, allowing for smooth gameplay even on lower-end systems. It really makes a difference in the overall experience.”
    • “I appreciate how well the game runs on various hardware setups. The developers clearly put effort into optimizing performance, ensuring that everyone can enjoy it without major issues.”
    • “The optimization is lacking, as the game frequently drops frames and stutters during gameplay.”
    • “Despite the impressive graphics, the game struggles to maintain a stable frame rate, especially in crowded areas.”
    • “The loading times are excessively long, which disrupts the overall flow of the game.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is characterized by a charming world dominated by cute animals, which contrasts with the corruption of humanity. Even the barking sounds contribute positively to this overall ambiance, enhancing the immersive experience.

    • “The barking sounds, while not perfect, contributed to the overall charming atmosphere of a world dominated by adorable animals, highlighting the corruption of humanity.”
    • “The game's atmosphere is incredibly immersive, drawing players into a beautifully crafted world filled with enchanting details.”
    • “Every element of the environment works together to create a captivating atmosphere that keeps you engaged and wanting to explore further.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers strong replayability, particularly for fans of absurd humor and cats, thanks to its engaging parody of the election theme. Players find it enjoyable enough to return to multiple times, enhancing its overall value.

    • “If you like absurd/offbeat humor, cats, and replayability, you should get this game.”
    • “Overall, the game does a good job at parodying the election, and it is enjoyable with lots of replay value.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be lengthy and somewhat tedious, yet many still consider it enjoyable overall.

    • “The gameplay is a bit long and tedious, but it really is an enjoyable game, at least for me.”
