Earlier today, I delved into the intriguing world of Super Farming Boy, a unique blend of action, puzzle, and farming simulation, highlighting how mobile platforms are becoming a fertile ground for genre experimentation. Just when I thought that was the most unusual game I'd cover today, I stumbled upon something even more extraordinary: a musical adventure about a cat lost in space!
Adventures of a Cat in Space is exactly what it sounds like—an upcoming point-and-click adventure where you guide a cat back home from the vast expanse of space. This feline protagonist finds itself adrift due to a series of unfortunate events, and your mission is to navigate through the galaxy, explore alien planets, and solve puzzles to make it back to Earth. But here's the twist: it's a musical!
Yes, you read that correctly. This all-ages adventure not only challenges you with the typical point-and-click puzzles but also immerses you in a musical journey with 11 distinct songs crafted by children's composer David Gibb. The ship's AI, voiced by Arthur Darvill, known for his role in Doctor Who, will be your only companion on this interstellar voyage.
Adventures of a Cat in Space will launch with a lite version, a nostalgic nod to the past, allowing players to experience the initial chapter and get acquainted with the core mechanics. While I can't guarantee how well it will cater to the puzzle-solving prowess of younger audiences, I'm confident that many adults will appreciate the quirky humor this game promises to deliver.
You'll be able to find Adventures of a Cat in Space on the iOS App Store, though there's no word yet on an Android release. If you're eager for more puzzle-solving fun, don't miss our comprehensive list of the top 25 best puzzlers available for both iOS and Android!
