The game's story is centered around a series of missions, often described as repetitive, with players expressing a desire for more variety and better integration of co-op elements. While the humor and concept of a cat-themed narrative are appreciated, many reviewers noted issues with unclear instructions and frustrating gameplay mechanics that hindered progression. Overall, the storyline offers potential but suffers from execution flaws, leaving players wanting a more engaging and user-friendly experience.
“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 fun. 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.”
“Dont 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, it misses the mark a little bit by focusing too much on campaign-style mission progression.”
“There's a story and some quests, but you can do that or whatever.”
“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 guidance on 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 well-integrated into the storyline, particularly for fans of meta and GTA-style humor. However, others criticize it for being frustratingly janky and unfunny, suggesting that expectations set by trailers may lead to disappointment. Overall, while there are moments of clever humor and fun physics-based interactions, the execution can be hit or miss.
“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.”

“I really, really want the soundtrack; there are some banging tunes in this game.”
“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 likened to a mix of GTA-style humor and open-world exploration similar to Goat Simulator, featuring quests and secrets. However, some users feel it falls short due to coding issues and negative gameplay elements, despite appreciating the game's concept and the developers' intentions. Overall, it appeals to cat lovers but may not meet the expectations of those seeking polished gameplay.

“Gameplay base looks like Goat Simulator; you know, open world, some quests, secrets, do what you want.”
“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.”
