Cattails | Become a Cat!

Cattails is a 2017 role-playing video game developed by Falcon Development for Microsoft Windows, MacOS, Linux and Nintendo Switch. The game follows an abandoned housecat who joins one of three feral cat colonies and builds relationships with its members and their neighboring colonies. A sequel, Cattails: Wildwood Story, was released in 2023. The player can hunt, forage, and fight, with their actions affecting how the other colonies view them. Several NPCs can be romanced, which can lead to marriage and kittens. The game has a pixel art visual style and is viewed from a fixed top-down camera angle. Cattails received mixed reception for its pleasant art style and soundtrack, and enjoyable exploration, but lackluster story and combat. The game has been compared to Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, and the lead developer, Tyler Thompson, has cited Story of Seasons and the book series Warriors as influences.
