Good story, (and it’s very long) and great writing! But there is just one problem which made me have to delete it. It uses some ‘language’ which made me have to delete it, I know I’m way, way over sensitive but still! I just wish they had replaced the words with more friendly words. I hope that gets changed so I can get the app back because I had to pay for it and it was so fun! Over all if your not over sensitive like me, it’s a good game. ### 5/5 — Really like it *2020-04-04, version 1.0.3* R this game is fun and I enjoy character interactions. I love cat and was thrilled to see the game on the App Store. If you like cats and good text adventures you will like this. Also it is accessible to voice over ### 5/5 — I Loved It. *2020-03-06, version 1.0.3* If you like longer text based choice games this is the game for you. ### 5/5 — LOVED IT!!! Want a sequel! *2019-04-22, version 1.0.3* Really enjoyed playing as an evil or good cat. The author gave lots of perfect choices from the skittish stray to the loving fluffy cat. And the difference in the endings are awesome. My only 2 complaints would be no matter how bad you are, you’re not actually punished or sent back (SPOILERS: and if you split up the family and go with Andre which doesn’t make sense to me since both you and the dog are more of Moon’s and the mom’s pets) and that you really don’t get to hunt or stalk as much, or defend your territory (except from Maddox but even then it doesn’t change much). However I absolutely love this game and would recommend it to anyone and everyone. I’ve played it at least 100 times and probably won’t stop anytime soon! I hope the author continues and maybe even makes a dog version! ### 5/5 — It's a cat's life for me *2018-06-02, version 1.0.3* Did I just spend money on a cat game? **** yes. Did I thoroughly enjoy it? **** yes. Would I do it again? You betcha. Another 'episode' would be great, though, or a full blown sequel. I still have so much catting to do. ### 5/5 — Good replay value *2017-10-18, version 1.0.1* I went through it twice with different objectives and got payoffs tailored to each - so, good replay value. The writing is very good, with humor and drama. Most choices have influence on outcomes and even those that don’t nonetheless alter the experience. ### 3/5 — Ok but not great *2017-10-10, version 1.0.1* Definitely not worth the 4.99. It should have cost 1.99. It is lengthy but got boring after a while, it seemed to drag. The ending was too rushed. It seemed they put all the effort in the beginning and at the end they gave a quick summary. Their were too many loose ties. I did love the cat I played. Their were plenty of options to choose from and you got to be evil or sweet. I played it one time through and it was enough for me. ### 4/5 — Great game, but could be better *2017-10-07, version 1.0.1* I loved the story and the choices, great to play from a cat’s perspective! A couple of things this game is missing: 1.) The ability to back up on some answers (use a bookmark) 2.) Biggest flaw: A better, less hurried ending. I was very disappointed with it, it came out of the blue and while it tried to tie up the strings, it failed to do so with satisfaction. Not sure it was worth the $5 price tag, will see if further replays of the game make up for it in their diversity. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-10-05, version 1.0.1* Totally nailed the cat personality ### 5/5 — Excellent writing *2017-10-03, version 1.0.1* I have a feeling this author would make a wonderful read from any subject matter. A fully recommended story, of beautiful humour and everyday surprise and affection. ## Frequently asked questions about Choice of the Cat ### What is Choice of the Cat about?
