About Qajary Cat
Many years ago, a cruel king ruled over the people of Iran whose only thoughts revolved around him and his court; an authoritarian king who was rich beyond the dream of avarice while his people held their stomachs out of hunger. The king becomes sick and lies on his deathbed. A miserable rain-soaked cat named “Babri Khan” together with its kitten accidentally enters the king’s palace and somehow arrives at his room. Seeing that the room is warm and cozy, the cat leaves the kitten under the king’s bed and intends to leave the house when it runs into the closed door. According to a local superstition, if a cat leaves its kitten underneath a patient’s bed, he/she would be healed. The next day, the king regains his health and develops a special liking for the cat, making it the apple of his court’s eye. This creates jealousy among the women in the court and, at an opportune moment, they dumped the cat in a well outside the city. Now Babri Khan begins his exciting journey from out of the well to get back to the court; a journey full of wonders, from encountering aliens to solving the puzzle of an old blind mouse, and of course translating the language of cats to that of a talking parrot! “The Qajar Cat” is the comic story of the condition of the Iranian people during the Qajar Era; the story of resistance against oppression by a cat!

So I bought this game cuz I wanna support Iranian games and see what's out there. Also, I love cats ahahaha. Brief Review Art: 10/10!!! Soundtrack: 8/10 Sound Effects/VA: 6/10 Plot/Script: 7.5/10 Gameplay: 4/10 Pros: Game is absolutely beautiful (I ended up screenshotting nearly every new scene). It mixes traditional paisley, cartoony character design, Persian calligraphy linework, with stark B&W mixed with occasional splashes of bright colour. Whoever the artist is, they are a god and they made this game. The cat content didn't disappoint, either. And apparently Babri Khan (the cat protagonist) was a real cat in the Qajar palace! Anyway, the soundtrack is traditional Persian stringed instruments--good, but very repetitive cuz it was on a loop. I found the sense of humour really amazing: sometimes it was just childish picture book fun, other times it made subtle passing political commentaries on the Iranian economy or the Persian monarchy. These were blended almost seamlessly so it didn't seem at all jarring but a fun surprise. I can't comment on whether these political jokes are understandable to non-Iranians or not. Cons: The narrator speaks in Persian (which is good and I lov…10 found this helpful
This would be a lovely game if it wasn't full of glitches and vagueness. Wasted my money. Better listen to some classical Iranian music, instead lol9 found this helpful

Qajary Cat, developed by RSK Entertainment and published by Strategy First, is a peculiar and imaginative point-and-click adventure that blends folklore, surrealism, and cultural allegory into an eccentric journey through an Iranian-inspired fantasy world. It is a game that feels deeply rooted in myth and satire, weaving together a fable about envy, superstition, and perseverance while using animals as its primary storytellers. Despite its short length and technical simplicity, it carries the ambition of a work that wants to explore something bigger than itself—an exploration of how power, cruelty, and resilience can coexist in the same narrative. The story begins in the royal court of the Qajar Empire, where a mother cat named Babri Khan and her kitten live a peaceful life until a twist of fate changes everything. When the kitten accidentally crawls under the bed of the sickly king, the royal physicians declare the act miraculous, claiming that the cat has cured the monarch. The ruler’s sudden recovery brings the cat and her child royal favor, but it also stirs jealousy among the courtiers, especially the women of the palace who see Babri Khan as an intruder in their domain.
