What is Little Kitty, Big City?
While the premise of the game seems pretty simple—a domestic cat finding its way back home—most of the gameplay shown at theindie Wholesome Games eventseemed to encompass all but that. The little kitty can get into all sorts of trouble, such as climbing into places that it shouldn’t be like boxes and holes in walls. Unfortunately, not much else has been revealed about the game so far, but some screenshots have been shown of the cat possibly stealing some items like a fish, waffle, and even a boxcutter. So shenanigans are to be expected inLittle Kitty, Big City.
Additionally,Little Kitty, Big Citywill allow the cat to speak to other animals, such as mischievous birds and silly dogs. It’s not quite clear how quests will work in this upcoming indie game—perhaps they’ll be a list ofgoofy tasks like inUntitled Goose Game—but maybe the game will progress as the cat meets new friends in its journey around the city. The kitty can also wear funny hats, which is always a plus.
