About Cats and the Other Lives

✦ AI summary

Cats and the Other Lives is a point-and-click narrative game where you play as Aspen, an ordinary house cat witnessing the hopes and regrets of the Mason family across decades following their patriarch's death.

Following the passing of Bernard Mason, the patriarch of the family, all the remaining Masons return to their childhood home for one last time.

As Aspen, the cat of the household, players will take a journey across the hopes, disappointments and regrets of the enigmatic Mason family, traversing through a rich narrative that spans over decades.

The game embraces a simple yet intuitive point and click play style, celebrating a design approach based on the behaviours of common house cats living all around the world.

Is the cat just a pet, or does this creature play a more mysterious role in our lives?

Features


  • Be a charming but ordinary house cat. Aspen is neither the witty talking cat nor a supernatural creature. Play as the domestic cat of the Mason household.
  • Unravel the decades-spanning story of the Mason Family by witnessing the relations of the surviving family members and tracking ghosts of the past.
  • Explore the mysterious Mason Manor to every nook and cranny in beautiful 2D pixel art supported by modern cinematic lighting.
  • Experience gameplay sequences inspired by naturalistic cat behaviour. Track the scents of different family members throughout the house or cause total mischief in an already tense dinner - as any proper house cat would do!
  • Start as the silent witness and eventually become a force of change in the lives of the family members throughout the three chapters of the game.

I bawled my eyes out in the end. Very unexpected twists in the storyline. The best thing about the game is definitely the story and the bonus of seeing it from the perspective of a devoted house cat.

This game is hauntingly beautiful. The graphics are creative and perfect for the feel of the game. The story is mesmerizing, engaging, well-written, and heart-wrenchingly good. It's filled with hard truths and heavy topics. You will leave feeling wrecked emotionally, but it's worth it to experience this wonderfully-crafted game. The cherry on top is that you get to experience all of this as a cat named Aspen. The developers did an outstanding job at capturing a cat's mannerisms and personality. Aspen is the heart and soul of this game, and adds some much-needed humor and laughter.

You're a cat, doing your own things while this family is falling apart. You get to see many side of the story of each individuals, all the fun and the sadness in between. It's a slow pace game where you sit back and enjoy the story on a cat's perspective.

Absolute incredible story telling through the eyes of the most lovable feline. I cannot recommend this game enough especially when the leaves start to change.

For some reason it took me a while to get into it. What a pretty, cute, bittersweet game with some tears in there as well. Love such thoughtful games alot!
Recommended Sep 1, 2026
A BEAUTIFULLY short and sweet point and click game, about the importance of family, the acceptance of grief, and what we make of the pieces thereafter, ALL from the perspective of the family cat.
