I like the concept and the characters. Simple but effective and I have a soft spot for cats, so I'm an easy target. I said the same thing I said when I played the much more expensive game "Stray". Cats do not make noise when they walk, they are like ghosts. Dogs do, as usually you can hear the claws clicking on the ground. I would have choosen a much more soft sound for the steps, maybe the rustle of the bakcpak. it is the sound you will hear for all the game and it become very abrasive very fast.
P.S. I choose to stay.
