Stray really disappointed me. I want a real cat game. (lemm.ee)

Just an open world survival game, only you're a cat, dealing with regular cat problems. You have to hunt, avoid larger animals, compete with other cats, figure out which humans are dangerous and which will give you treats, judiciously spray things to maintain your territory, maybe mate and reproduce (your sex and fertility status are basically difficulty settings), etc.

You start out as a housecat going on a spring vacation with your family, and that's the tutorial section. Then your humans accidentally leave you behind at their country vacation home, and then the difficulty is just the passing of seasons. See if you can survive winter and see your humans again next spring.

I don't play many games, but Stray was one of the best that I've ever played, honestly. Not too long, emotionally satisfying with equally satisfying gameplay.

I agree, but I also agree with OP. went in expecting a cat game and it effectively was just a regular adventure game but you're a cat. Not the other way around.

The cat part is also almost entirely irrelevant to the game. Neither the story nor the mechanics really care that you're a cat. Sure you do more climbing than walking, but you do that in uncharted too. Linear combing sections are not what I imagine when I think "cat movement."

Yeah that's what I was trying to get at.
