Cats for Valentine’s Day and a Valentine’s Day for Cats!
Well, gang, it’s the day after Valentine’s Day. The cynic’s Half-Price Chocolate Day, the romantic’s Intimacy Hangover day, and a day I will spend with my cat. Rather self-indulgently, I’d like to stake a claim in both the cynic’s campandthe romantic’s, though I don’t think my cat cares for either chocolate or long talks about the future of our relationship. She’ll never speak. She does, however, follow me around my apartment from room to room – happily chirping for attention, or leaving macerated toy mice at my feet. My partnerneverleaves me toy mice.
Here are four games about cats, presented for your gaming pleasure. Whether you’re snuggled up with a loved one, or the remains of a Celebrations tub, I hope there’s something for you to enjoy.
Hidden CatsfromAndreas Wilcox
Swedish-based developer Andreas Wilcox made Hidden Cats for their girlfriend’s brthday, which is probably one of the sweetest gifts I can imagine. She loves cats and she lovesHidden Folks,so it seemed only natural to bring the two together. Frankly, it’s a match made in heaven. In Hidden Cats, you have joined a cat shelter who regularly rescues cats to put up for adoption. The only hurdle is that you have tofindthe cats first.
There is, regrettably, only one scene of Hidden Cats (I get it – it was a labour of love!). That one scene isgorgeous, though. There are so many sweet touches – like home-brewed “meows,” and sound effects – that really bring the game together. I won’t spoil any of the hidden cats for you, but the whole thing is too endearing for words. Wilcox notes on the game’s itch page that, if you like the game, consider donating to an animal shelter near you.
Super Giant Robot Cat AssemblyfromNecktiedog
In Super Giant Cat Assembly, a great war is coming. A terrible war. The most feared general of the cat army has tasked you with one of the most important missions of all: assembling the giant cat mechs to go to war. Though you are but a kitten, you know – this is your time to shine. Super Giant Cat Assembly, from Malaysian developer Necktiedog, was made for the 2018Dogpit Jamwith the theme, “workshop,” and it only makes sense that it would lead to a workshop where you have to put robot cat heads onto robot cat bodies.

But then, I remember: sometimes, all we need is to download an executable file where a cat plays the bongos.
