The game's story is centered around a multitude of missions, often with follow-up tasks, which some players find overwhelming and too focused on campaign-style progression. While the humor and meta elements are appreciated, many users express frustration with unclear instructions and quest markers, leading to confusion and progression issues. Overall, the narrative offers a fun concept of being a cat involved in various missions, but it could benefit from better tutorial support and more diverse mission structures.
“I love the joking humor and how it ties a bunch of meta humor together into a fluid storyline.”
“Definitely such a fun game! I'm playing it in multiplayer and it's really enjoyable. I was waiting for this since 'Cat Gets Medieval' is an amazing game. Until now, I can say it has a good variety of missions, you can drive cars (really difficult to drive though), and it's full of chaos. There's some bugs here and there, but all in all, I consider it a good game. I recommend it!”
“Don't get me wrong, I like the concept of being a cat on missions for the Meowfia or the Purrlice, but the general instructions and controls were unclear.”
“Imo misses the mark a little bit by focusing too much on campaign-style mission progression.”
“Hour later, I managed to break my ability to progress the game at all by simply closing the game and relaunching it, only to find out I could no longer do the Meowfia mission that wanted me to 'shoot balloons' as the quest marker and objectives were completely gone.”
“The game needs a better opening tutorial covering the controls, missions/tasks, inventory, map screen, etc. It was confusing off the bat trying to escape the house - my expectation was some heavy hand-holding and telling me the controls and where to go, but instead, you run up and downstairs talking to cats with text-only dialogue until one of the cats lets you leave the building.”

The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with some players finding it hilarious and enjoying the meta jokes and chaotic gameplay reminiscent of Goat Simulator, while others criticize it as janky and unfunny. Many appreciate the physics-based minigames and hidden secrets, but there are concerns that the humor may not meet expectations set by promotional materials. Overall, it appeals to fans of GTA-style humor and absurdity, though it may frustrate those looking for a more polished comedic experience.
“I love the joking humor and how it ties a bunch of meta humor together into a fluid storyline.”
“Of course I would recommend this game to others, especially if you love GTA-style humor and gameplay and just cats.”
“Nice humor, interesting little stuff like physics-based minigames, a lot of secrets; try holding 'R' on the keyboard - you'll see something cool.”
“Painfully janky, unoptimized, and unfunny.”

“Please release a soundtrack.”
“The only radio station consists of the cringe 'sigma' phonk music.”
“Also, the music is very repetitive.”
“The boring music loop doesn't help, and you'll be turning that off in the settings very quickly.”

The gameplay is described as an open-world experience reminiscent of "Goat Simulator," featuring quests and secrets, but it suffers from coding issues and lacks polish. While the humorous, GTA-style elements and the cat theme appeal to some players, the overall execution has been criticized as a disappointment. Despite its interesting concept, many feel it falls short of expectations in terms of gameplay quality.
“Of course I would recommend this game to others, especially if you love GTA-style humor and gameplay and just cats.”
“Just wanted to write something because the developers seem like good people, and the game looks like a game, not just 'yo we have a cat with no gameplay, buy our game because it's just cats.'”
“Interesting game concept wise but a flop by gameplay and coding standards.”
“However, there were things that I think affected the gameplay in a negative way.”
“Gameplay base looks like Goat Simulator; you know, open world, some quests, secrets, do what you want.”
