The indie studio Gaze in Games has captured the attention of the gaming community with its new title, Cat Parents, which has accumulated over 100,000 wishlists on Steam in just three days after its announcement. This video game focuses on the rescue and care of cats, offering players the opportunity to feed, treat, and even find them a home, or build a paradise for cats.
An adorable game
Solvita Zacha, CEO of Gaze in Games, expressed her surprise at the overwhelming interest and positive response from players, indicating that this reaction represents a great responsibility for the small studio. Despite having only a couple of previous releases —including a horror video game—, Gaze in Games has achieved significant recognition, especially with this project.
The premise of the game is simple yet appealing: players must rescue cats in risky situations, take care of them, and eventually find them a new home. The possibility of building a safe and fun environment for the felines has resonated deeply with the audience. Zacha commented on the success of the title, highlighting that they did not expect such interest and that this gives them immense confidence and responsibility.
The announcement of Cat Parents has sparked an animated dialogue among video game enthusiasts, who do not seem surprised by the success of a game centered on affection for animals. The product page on Steam also highlights that the game will allow players to experience “what it feels like to be a true cat parent,” both solo and in cooperative mode.
With the promise that the game will arrive “soon”, Cat Parents is positioning itself as one of the most anticipated releases for both cat lovers and video game enthusiasts alike.
