Mr. Bommels Teacats is a free-to-play simulator that sends you into a magical world centered on the titular Teacat factory. This game from pitifeur takes a visual novel approach to introduce you to a relaxing, colorful world where anthropomorphic cats talk to you and help you choose and grow your own adorable friend.

Its art style and simple premise make Mr. Bommels Teacats a great casual game for cat lovers everywhere. Other alternatives with the same feel include Cat Goes Fishing and Happy Cat Tavern — both games centered on cute and cuddly cat characters without complex stories.

Get your personalized pet

In Mr. Bommels Teacats, you start your journey with the charismatic Bartholomeow Le Chat. You answer a series of seemingly unrelated questions that supposedly reveals a bit of your personality one at a time. After answering, Le Chat will return and present you with a Teacat that mirrors your personality. You then take it around the island, interacting with other feline characters to better understand and train your new buddy.

Its strength lies in its focus on cats, although it’s quite weird how the cats create Teacats. Anyway, the people on the island are human-like, they talk to you, and have unique personalities. Although they play into certain character stereotypes, it works in this case as every one of them is starkly unique compared to each other, and yet everyone helps you achieve the same goal–get a unique Teacat.

As a visual novel, though, this game is frustratingly short. After getting to know your unique Teacat, the game almost instantly ends. It robs you of the hours of fun you should be having with your new and cute friend. After knowing the cat and tea that suits your personality, the game ends, although you can always restart to see other possible combinations.

A fun casual experience

Despite its short playthrough, Mr. Bommels Teacats help you identify a piece of yourself in the form of these adorable little kittens. Furthermore, you can always play the game again and see the rest of the incredible designs that the developers have prepared just for you. It has a simple premise and generally relaxing designs, from the characters to the environment. For cat people, this game is highly recommended.
