Follow the Black Kitten

"Follow the Black Kitten" is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. This is a badly written collection of short stories (without that much to do with a kitten, disappointing even the most die hard of fan-fiction readers on Steam).

Positive: 🐾 Follow the Black Kitten is a free interactive adventure/visual novel with a mix of short narrative chapters and mini‑game elements — you explore stories on a laptop and uncover quirky, atmospheric moments. 📜 The multiple achievements give clear milestones tied to exploring different parts of the narrative and completing small challenges, adding motivation to see more content. 🎯 The game’s tone blends mystery, casual RPG elements, and emotional beats that make it interesting for short, focused play sessions.

Overall: Follow the Black K…

It was a short but really interesting journey. Left quite a bit to think about.
