Honestly, with that name (and that price) I expected a bigger city. The playable area is so small the fast travel provided is wholly unneccessary. A better map would have been much preferable, but the map provided is cute.
But it's still a cute game. Expect around 3 hours if just working through or 6 hours to 100% it (and if you plan to.. You can put cans into the small blue recycle boxes and meowing at cell phone zombies rarely gets them to photograph you. Ah and exit to menu/reload replenishes all destructibles. you're welcome)
It's basically a 3D jump and run where they managed to capture cat movement as good as Stray. Well except the way too short jump length/height, that was kinda pathetic, cats can easily scale up 1.5-2 meters, little potato should train more!
I should also mention that the camera likes to be behind obstacles so you can't see your kitty.
And I wish the second or third fish gave you, I dunno, kitty shoes or the determination to walk through water. At that point you found ways around all the water patches anyway, and they're just annoying traversal blockers.

In the end, if you like cats, if you ever just watched cat movies on youtube, and if you like 3D Platformers/collectathons, you will like this.

The question is just the price. Because as said, you can probably complete it in 1-3 hours and 100% it in 6 (not quite sure, still working on the cans and photos), so it's a very short game where the explorable part of the city is very small. Honestly 30 bucks feels too much for that. Stray is als $30, and stray has like tripple the play time and way more stuff to explore. Sure, stray is 2 years old by now but still. IMHO this game shouldn't be above 20 bucks. Get it on a sale, like the winter sale right now.

Also just mentioning, this is another game where there's a steam overlay telling you to use a controller.. And it works perfectly fine using mouse/keyboard. I played some bad JRPG ports that hardly worked with PC peripherals at all that didn't have that steam splash page XD
