Your cats have jobs. Your tavern has customers. Somewhere in your pond, a rainbow fish is swimming around. Welcome to Catfinity, the cozy idle RPG where a colony of pixel cats works, cooks, fishes, farms and goes adventuring, and keeps right on doing it while you nap. You start with one Tabby and a single tap. Before long you are running a whole little world. OPEN THE TAVERN Put on an apron and start a shift. Diners fill the tables, each one wanting something your pantry can make. Cook to order in the Kitty Kitchen, then put your cats on the floor as server, bus cat and dishwasher. Some cats have a knack for a station and some are hopeless at it, so tap Auto party and let the tavern pick the best crew. Earn renown and your Corner Pub grows through fifteen levels into the Heart of the Town, with plants, a rug and a painting settling into the room along the way. When the lanterns go out, tired cats curl up at the Inn and dream. GIVE EVERY CAT A CALLING Thirty jobs, from Rancher and Fishercat to Ninja, Necromancer and Pyromancer, each with its own hat and its own levels. Spin the Job Wheel to try a new one. Save a Colony Loadout of everyone's jobs, gear and mounts, and swap the whole colony in one tap when a different boss comes to town. GO ON AN ADVENTURE Build a balanced five-cat party of tank, healer, support and damage, read the real odds, and send them after loot. A failed run costs you time, never your cats. Take on a daily raid boss with stances and weaknesses, check the Watchtower for the week ahead, and keep the Field Guide of everyone you have felled. After your first Purrvana, wave a Feather Wand and your best cats chase a feather up the endless Scratching Post. After a Cosmic Nap, the whole colony holds the wall in the Long Night until morning. GONE FISHIN' Cast into a pixel pond stocked with 58 fish, from Sardine to Golden Koi, with rare chests, better rods and bait. Open the fishing gear box, sip a cold drink from Barnaby's soda counter, or send a little AutoFish robot out to fish while you do something else. Keep your favorites in the Aquarium and watch for the one extremely elusive Rainbow Shark. COOK, GROW, RAISE Cook dishes in the Kitty Kitchen that give your cats real buffs for dungeons and raids. Grow crops in the Gardens and carry them straight to the tavern. Raise chickens, ducks, bees, pigs, sheep, cows, horses and more on the Ranch, from wobbly babies to grown-ups, and collect eggs, milk and honey. Grown-up animals can carry a cat into battle. Set a cat on an egg in the Hatchery and wait to see what hatches. FORGE AND COLLECT Smelt ore into bars at the Blacksmith, temper your gear, and melt spare pieces together into something rarer. Brew enchantments, runes and Purrscriptions at the NekoMancer. Hunt for quirky trinkets, wear the ones you love, and dress your own pixel avatar to match. NAP YOUR WAY UP The prestige ladder is built around the laziest thing a cat does. Take a nap, wake up stronger, then climb from naps to Cosmic Naps, Purrvana and Catfinity itself. Seasonal events like Meow-lloween bring pumpkin bosses, costumes and a Trick-or-Treat stall to the colony. THE HONEST PART Free to play, and playable forever without paying. Purchases are optional: cosmetics, music, extra room for gardens, pastures and nests, and small boosts. There are no paywalls. Ads are optional and always rewarded, never in your way. Offline progress means the colony never stops purring, so check in for two minutes or lose an entire evening. The cats don't judge. Much. Monthly leaderboards reset for everyone at once, so a new colony is never racing a two-year-old one, and more than 500 achievements wait along the way. Grab a cat. Take a nap. Reach Catfinity.
