Press Quotes
“...like Stardew Valley, except cats.” Kotaku “It’s an adorably silly game, but one that’s also a lot of fun...” IGN “...a calming, restorative game that stands its ground against the big boys in the sit-down-with-a-nice-cuppa genre – we’re talking the Stardew Valleys and Animal Crossings of the world.” NintendoLife
