Cattails is “a unique simulation RPG with light survival elements” to hear developer Falcon Development tell it. You play as a feral cat that does things feral cats do, like hunt mice, collect herbs and hunt for treasure.
Cattails not only lets you join a cat colony and fight for territory in its name, but also compete in “seasonal festivals” to win prizes. You can “date and marry one of nine eligible cats” and from there, you can also raise kittens and bring them on your expeditions.
Cattails is out on Steam today, but it began as a passion project for lead developer Tyler Thompson in 2016. It was then Kickstarted earlier this year: over 1,200 backers chipped in nearly $40,000 for the project, pitched as an “open-world cat and wildlife simulation.”
Cattails is actually the second game featuring cat dating to be announced this week, the other Purrfect Date, a cat dating sim is due next month.
