Do Not Take the Cat Home is one of those rare games that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll. From the moment my friend Lushie and I started playing, we knew we were in for something special—though, admittedly, we probably shouldn’t have played it given the trigger warnings. But in a way, that made the experience even more meaningful.
The game isn't just about making choices; it’s about confronting uncomfortable truths and understanding perspectives that might not be easy to face. Instead of just shocking for the sake of it, Do Not Take the Cat Home uses its unsettling themes to paint a much bigger picture. For both Lushie and me, it became a game that allowed us to open up about things we might not have otherwise discussed.
The atmosphere, the storytelling, the way it all comes together—it’s an emotional rollercoaster that leaves you thinking. If you’re in the right mindset for it, this game is absolutely worth experiencing. Just be prepared for something that isn’t afraid to challenge you.
