Cats and the Other Lives is a unique adventure game that takes players on a journey spanning decades as they unravel the story of the Mason family. As Aspen, the household cat, players explore the mysterious Mason Manor and witness the relations of the surviving family members while tracking ghosts of the past.

The game features a simple yet intuitive point and click play style that celebrates a design approach based on the behaviors of common house cats. Players can track the scents of different family members throughout the house or cause total mischief in an already tense dinner, just like any proper house cat would do. The 2D pixel art is supported by modern cinematic lighting, creating a beautiful and immersive environment.

As the silent witness, players eventually become a force of change in the lives of the family members throughout the three chapters of the game. A portion of the profits from Cats and the Other Lives is being used for the expenses of medical operations of street cats, making playing the game even more rewarding.
