Our take on Cat's Menace
The focus on narrative choices and branching outcomes leaves less room for broad simulation systems or action-heavy play. The 25-cat roster gives the uprising a character-driven structure, but the game centers on following missions and story paths rather than managing every aspect of a city.
What is Cat's Menace?
Guide a group of cats through a grim, story-led strategy campaign as they challenge a city controlled by fear, gossip, and severe rules.
Form a feline team, bring new allies into the uprising, undermine influential leaders, and dispatch cats on perilous assignments. Every operation moves the plot onward, while decisions alter the city’s direction. The 25 recruitable cats each have personal histories, shaped by goals such as vengeance, status, or staying alive. Branching assignments create different narrative routes, with dark comedy placing appealing characters in hazardous circumstances. The author produced the game’s narrative, text, visual art, and soundtrack in 2018.
