Today's gaming news just got a whole lot weirder and more wonderful with the announcement of Adventures of a Cat in Space, an upcoming point-and-click adventure that's also a musical. Yes, you read that correctly—a musical adventure featuring a cat lost in the vast expanse of space. If you thought Super Farming Boy was an oddball mix of genres, buckle up, because this feline space odyssey takes the cake!
In Adventures of a Cat in Space, you take on the role of a cat who, through a series of unfortunate events, finds itself adrift in space. Your only companion on this interstellar journey is the ship's AI, voiced by none other than Arthur Darvill, known for his role in Doctor Who. Together, you'll navigate the galaxy, explore alien planets, and tackle puzzles to find your way back home.
But what sets this game apart is its musical nature. Alongside the usual point-and-click challenges, you'll collect 11 unique songs crafted by children's composer David Gibb. This all-ages adventure promises to blend puzzle-solving with a toe-tapping soundtrack, making it a unique entry in the mobile gaming space.
Hairball in orbitAdventures of a Cat in Space will launch with a lite version, a nostalgic nod to the days when demo versions were common. This initial chapter will introduce players to the game's core mechanics. While I can't guarantee how it will resonate with young puzzle enthusiasts, I'm confident that the quirky humor will appeal to adults looking for something a bit different.
You'll be able to find Adventures of a Cat in Space on the iOS App Store, though there's no word yet on an Android release. If you're itching for more puzzle games in the meantime, check out our extensive list of the top 25 best puzzlers for iOS and Android!
