The game lacks a meaningful story or narrative, functioning more as a walking simulator focused on exploration and collecting items rather than traditional RPG elements. Players express disappointment over the absence of progression, achievements, and clear instructions, leading to a gameplay experience that feels aimless.
“You don’t have lives to lose or enemies to avoid, and there is no real story.”
“There are no instructions that I have encountered so far, and not much of a story; just got to feel your way out, I suppose.”
“It looked wholesome and cute in the store (cats), so I got it with some hope for it to be an actual RPG. However, there is no such thing as narrative or story in this game; it's a walking cat simulator in which you spend your time moving around to find collectibles and customize your kitten.”
