After the massive success of Stray, the world has been crying out for another
big game about cats. Well, our pleas have been answered. The cozy cat sim
Little Kitty, Big City will be available for download on May 9 for multiple
platforms, including the Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam.
It costs $25 and preorders are available now, with Switch owners getting 10
percent off for the time being. ItΓÇÖs also a Game Pass day one release.

ThereΓÇÖs a new trailer, which was revealed at NintendoΓÇÖs latest Indie
World Showcase event. It looks very cute. You play as a, duh, cat and explore
a Japan-inspired city, getting into mischief and wearing a bunch of costumes.
ItΓÇÖs a cozy game, so donΓÇÖt expect any bloodthirsty cyberpunk ruffians to
chase you around town.

The cel-shaded visuals are adorable and the ΓÇ£mini-open-worldΓÇ¥ looks like
its filled with stuff to do, people to annoy and sun-soaked spots to take a
good nap. WeΓÇÖll never fully understand what goes on in the brains of our
favorite felines, they are aliens after all, but this game will at least give
us some time in their shoes/paws.

The developer is a company called Double Dagger Studio, which was started by
veteran game designer Matt T. Wood, who spent nearly two decades honing his
craft at Valve. He worked on a whole bunch of games that seem to be the polar
opposite of a cat sim, like Left 4 Dead, Portal 2 and CS:GO. Despite this
pedigree, Little Kitty, Big City features no combat and has been likened to
classic stories like Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz.
