Become a cat! In this cozy life sim RPG, you'll lead your colony into the mysterious Wildwood. Hunt prey, harvest herbs, collect magical treasures, & defend your new home from intruders. Build a thriving town to recruit new cats. Get to know the residents, fall in love, & raise a litter of kittens!
Players explore a sprawling overworld divided into distinct "chunks." To maintain control over these zones, players must hunt prey, harvest herbs, and defend against enemy "Voidlings." Exploring the world allows players to find a variety of resources, including different prey animals, herbs, and special collectibles. The changing seasons affect the availability of certain resources.
Combat revolves around pouncing on prey using a quicktime event mechanic. As players progress, they can recruit other cats to accompany them, providing assistance in hunting and fighting. These companion cats level up, gaining increased combat abilities and success rates. While basic, the combat system becomes more manageable and rewarding with the help of a loyal feline friend.
Players level up their cat character by gaining experience through various activities like hunting, exploring, and socializing. This unlocks new skills and abilities, such as improved senses, combat prowess, and resource gathering. The robust skill tree allows players to customize their cat's playstyle.
Players build and manage their own cat colony, constructing new dens for recruited cats, expanding the colony's territory, and ensuring the colony's resources are well-stocked. Players can also influence the relationships between the NPCs, leading to the cats forming their own bonds and families.
Befriending and romancing the diverse cast of NPC cats is a significant part of the experience. Players can spend time with the cats, give them gifts, and eventually pursue a romantic relationship, leading to the player character getting married and starting a family.
The game features a set of mines that players can explore, descending deeper to find more valuable resources. These dungeons present a more challenging, combat-focused experience, requiring players to manage their resources and skills effectively.
