After playing this game nearly 3 hours, I would like to toss in my 2 Cents for those people who are still thinking about to buy the game or not. I will update the review once i finished playing the complete game in order to give more details about things like: How long to beat the game, feelings after playthrough and stuff like this :)

Before I go into the details, I would like to cut to the chase and answer the most important question to you:

When should you definitly buy this game?

• If you love cats and would like to cat like a cat.
  
• If you like exploration games and you like to discover lovely details spread over the entire game.
  
• If you are able to enjoy the ambient, the visuals, the music and the complete "flair" of the game.
  
• If you do not expect high end graphics like in Cyberpunk 2077 and are completely fine with it.
  
• If you have cats yourself and would like to see if your cat too goes nuts (mine did so xD) when it sees multiple cats walking around on the screen.
  
• If you want to play a calm and relaxing game with no pressure and a lot of love for details.

My personal Conclusion

As owner of three cats I was hyped from the very beginning when I heard that this game is about to come. I did not know much about the game despite of that you are able to play a cat wandering around in a cyberpunk flavored city and I didn't want to spoil myself to much, therefore I did not really research about gameplay or other stuff, so I was like a blank canvas.
What I can say, is, that I was pleasently surprised on how good this game is.
I mean it is one thing that you can play a cat, behave like a cat (scratch objects, throw down objects, drink water from a puddle, fool around with other cats, literally having an own button for meowing, ...), it's more the complete atmosphere of the game which catches you. The visuals are really great when you think of the game budget, the price it costs and the size of the studio which developed it. The combination of visuals and sound effects + music is making the whole atmosphere so vibrant and vivid. It literally invites to take your time and look around and dive a bit deeper into the misterious city the story is set.
Most games today feel very hectic in my point of view, but this game really makes you consciously slow down a bit and dive in into the city, it's citizens and the little furry friend you are playing.

Gameplay

I don't want to spoil to much, but of course the game has a story, which I need to say is not the main attraction of the game.
In a nutshell: You lost your other furry friends through an accident which happened to you and you try to make your way back to them.

But what is it what you actually can do as the little cute fluff ball you are?

You can walk or run around, jump from different locations to others, you can collect Memory Fragments and other objects like music sheets, energy drinks and so forth in order to offer them to differet NPCs which will show you their appreciation by handing you over other objects you can use and interact with. This means you can interact with the NPCs, talk to them, and so forth.

To be honest: The gameplay is very simple from my point of view, but I think this is exactly the strength of the game: Making a game that fun to play although it only contains basic mechanics.

Technical aspects

As already mentioned: Thinking about the games budget, the size of the team which developed it and that this is their first game released, I need to say that the game is marvelous. Simply great. Of course you will see by looking very close some unclean textures and minor visual issues, but this is absolutely okay regarding the above mentioned points.

I had no issues while playing. No crash, no strange behaviour inside of the game. There are some minor (logical) issues from my point of view, like: When you are sitting in a bucket and some (i guess they are called zurks) attack you, they do not damage you, although it's clearly visible that they should hit you.
You have three rrefresh rate options to chose from: unlimited, 30 or 60. I configured 60 fps and had no issues. I mean I have an RTX 3080 and the card is not even nearly struggling playing on a 4K TV, Regarding this aspect I think the performance it great and the game should be easily playable for the most common setups.
With unlimited fps setting i get around 100 fps.
Although I need to say, that I think some additional graphics options would be nice, because the settings of the game offered are very basic and there are only a few.

I play the game using an Xbox Controller and so far I did not have any Issues. I can't tell how it is to play using a keyboard and a mouse, but I can recommend to play such games like this one with a controller. Here it doesn't really matter if you choose a Xbox or Playstation Controller. :)

The atmosphere

I think this is really the selling point of the game. It offers you the possibility to dive deeper into the game which makes the game a lot of fun to play. The city, the cyberpunk setting, the music, the characters are making the game really great. It simply makes you want to do more (explore around, look into the different corners, search for single details and so forth.)
It's great from my point of view.
