About The King of Cats

The King of Cats is a short visual novel inspired by animal horror films and Michael Crichton's classic novel, Jurassic Park.

Doctor Kemp is a millionaire wildlife biologist with a love for big cats. He just bought a litter of tigers for a unique business opportunity in Mexico. The only problem is the deal isn't exactly legal.

He assembles a team to smuggle the tigers aboard a cargo ship and escort them across the ocean. But when a storm hits early in the voyage, the tigers break free and the hunt begins. Navigate the claustrophobic corridors of a vessel with man-eating tigers on the loose. Your choices will determine who lives and who dies.

This is an approximately 9,000 word story with two major endings.

Positive: 🐯 The King of Cats is an atmospheric visual novel where you navigate a tense situation aboard a cargo ship after dangerous big cats break free, blending horror and choice‑driven storytelling with multiple possible outcomes. 📖 Short, focused narrative with branching decisions gives players a clear reason to explore different endings. 🎯 A small set of achievements provides straightforward goals tied to story outcomes and choices. Negative: 🔁 Gameplay is almost entirely reading and selecting choices — interaction beyond narrative choices is limited by design. ⚙️ Its horror elements are atmospheric but light compared with full‑length story horror games, so the experience feels brief. 🏆 Completionists & Achievement Hunters: There are 4 Steam achievements to unlock, tied to different story paths and outcomes including surviving or causing maximum casualties. ⏱️ Players who move straight through the story and choices can unlock everything in about ≈1–3 minutes, while players who take their time exploring all choice paths and endings may take ≈5–15 minutes to see everything and unlock all achievements. Overall: The King of Cats is a compact, choice‑driven visual novel wit…

Not recommended Aug 30, 2025

A short visual novel (more like a movie script than a novel), made in the style of Jurassic Park. Nothing special, the graphics are awful. Very few choices, only 2 endings ("good" and "bad"). The biggest downside is the option to shoot a tiger – no, no, no!
