About Meow Palace: Forbidden City

Welcome to Meow Palace!A cozy, laid-back game that blends idle play, bonding, and cultural discovery. Slip into the paws of a stray kitty who’s wandered into the Forbidden City. With the help of palace cats, you’ll learn new tricks, collect treasures, unlock stories, and experience the whimsical life of a royal feline.

The story begins with a stray cat that accidentally wanders into the palace—but its destiny is up to you.

  • Create A Cat: Customize everything from name, fur pattern, pupils, ear shapes, and tails to craft your perfect palace companion.

Go from “Stray Cat” to “Imperial Guardian” through effortless idle gameplay.

  • Idle Training: Learn up to 15 skills, including Imperial Cuisine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Peking Opera, and Fishing with the instruction of veteran palace cats. Higher skills = better yields.
  • Craft Fashion & Furniture: Use collected materials and blueprints to make outfits and home décor for your cat.
  • Palace Encyclopedia: Every crafted item, animal encounter, and discovered treasure is collected into your growing compendium.

Feeling stressed at work? Tired of studying? Let your palace cat stay on your desktop.

  • Desktop Pet Mode: Your cat lives directly on your Windows desktop, quietly gathering resources while you’re busy. Tap it when you take a break and enjoy simple, soothing interactions.

Encounter NPC cats based on actual residents of the Forbidden City, and explore the Palace Museum through their eyes.

  • The Palace Cat Family: Meet Aobai the dignified, Sheriff the clever, and Mantou the gentle—each being the inspiration of NPC cats in the game!
  • Four Seasons of the Forbidden City: Unlock classic locations, such as Hall of Supreme Harmony, Palace of Heavenly Purity, Palace of Compassion and Tranquility, and more. Game time syncs with real time, letting your cat walk you through spring blossoms, summer rains, autumn leaves, and winter snow in the Forbidden City.

Meow Palace: Forbidden City is a gentle, cozy simulation game that leans heavily into atmosphere, charm, and slow-paced progression rather than challenge or complexity. Developed by 宫喵家族 and published by 宫喵家族 alongside 2P Games, the game invites players into a whimsical reimagining of the Forbidden City, seen through the eyes of palace cats. You take control of a stray feline who stumbles into this historic setting and gradually finds a place among its resident cats, turning what could have been a simple idle game into a soothing experience shaped by cultural flavor, personality, and quiet discovery. From the very beginning, the tone is unhurried and comforting, encouraging players to settle in rather than rush toward any particular endpoint. Character creation is one of the game’s early highlights, offering a surprisingly flexible range of cosmetic options for a title rooted in idle mechanics. Fur patterns, colors, facial features, and accessories allow you to shape a cat that feels distinctly yours, reinforcing the personal connection that the game aims to foster. Once introduced to palace life, progression unfolds through skill training and passive accumulation. Your cat learns…

Meow Palace is a surprisingly good idle game. The whole thing is set inside the Forbidden City — you wander it as a cat, moving between different areas, doing various things, and gathering materials to craft outfits and furniture. The palace isn’t just a backdrop either,the game quietly feeds you real history and trivia about the place as you play. You pick things up without even trying.

Great, another idle game! Finally something to let my brain take a break. I wouldn't have found it if my friend hadn't recommended it — it's super adorable. Can't wait for the full release though!

I have liked this so far. Its slow paced but the text bubbles go by to fast. Sometimes a thing will popup that blocks out what you were trying to read. But its cute and easy enough to figure out.

The idle gameplay is very relaxing, the kitten is adorable, and I'm really looking forward to the dev team updating the homestead system soon.
