Earlier today, I was discussing the intriguing mix of action, puzzle, and farming simulation in the upcoming game Super Farming Boy, noting how mobile platforms are becoming a fertile ground for genre experimentation. I thought that would be the most unusual release I'd cover today, but I was pleasantly surprised by the announcement of a musical adventure featuring a cat lost in space!
Adventures of a Cat in Space is exactly as its title suggests. Due to a series of unfortunate events, you find yourself playing as a cat stranded in the vast expanse of space. Your only companion on this journey is the ship's AI, voiced by the talented Arthur Darvill, known for his role in Doctor Who. Together, you'll navigate the galaxy, explore alien planets, and solve puzzles to find your way back home.
And yes, did I mention this is a musical? That's right, a musical! This all-ages adventure not only challenges you with the typical point-and-click puzzles but also enriches your experience with 11 unique songs composed by the renowned children's composer, David Gibb.
Adventures of a Cat in Space will launch with a lite version, a throwback to the days when such offerings were more common. This version allows you to dive into the first chapter and familiarize yourself with the core mechanics. While I can't guarantee how well it will cater to the puzzle-solving prowess of younger players, I'm confident that many adults will find the quirky humor of this game delightful.
You'll be able to find Adventures of a Cat in Space on the iOS App Store, though there's no news yet on an Android release. If you're itching for more puzzle-solving action, don't forget to check out our comprehensive list of the top 25 best puzzlers available for both iOS and Android!
