    Despite issues with the controls, Cats and the Other Lives is a brilliantly paced story about the unusual Mason family, with a fantastically atmospheric aesthetic.

    If you're in the mood for a good story, Cats and the Other Lives should suffice. Whilst the game does take place over three long days, very little of it feels wasted. There's a lot to discover about Bernard and his family whilst Aspen provides plenty of opportunities for mischief. The puzzles are incredibly simple but I did find the few chase sequences to be a little irritating. Not enough to dampen my spirits, though. I feel the narrative is well crafted and characters are nicely developed.

    Cats and the Other Lives is an excellent pixel art game that stands out for its engaging narrative and a feline protagonist full of personality. The Mason family dynamics guide players through mysteries, dramas and a past that remains the guiding thread of the story.
