Our take on Ship's Cat
The store presentation foregrounds the unusual nuclear-powered ship and the cat’s pest-control role, but gives little sense of the game’s overall scale. Its linear structure and limited horror content make it narrower than the action-adventure framing might suggest.
What is Ship's Cat?
Play as the chief pest-control cat aboard a nuclear-powered passenger ship.
Explore passenger and crew areas while hunting and eating mice that threaten to overrun the vessel. Progression grants new powers as the cat moves through the ship. The game follows a linear story presented from the cat’s viewpoint, combining action-adventure gameplay with humor, mystery, and a small amount of scary or horror-themed content.
