    Cats and the Other Lives is a fantastic pixel art point-and-click adventure. Moreover, it twists the perspective as you play the role of the family cat. Can you explore your surroundings and piece together the dark and sinister past?

    Cats and the Other Lives is clever and inventive. The whole concept of having a cat as the protagonist and finder of the narrative is excellent. But you always get the feeling that this cat isn't worried about how things play out, acting as a bystander to the events which fold.
