Earlier today, I discussed the unique blend of action, puzzle, and farming simulation found in the upcoming game Super Farming Boy, highlighting how mobile platforms are increasingly becoming a playground for genre experimentation. However, the day took an even more intriguing turn with the announcement of another fascinating title: Adventures of a Cat in Space, a point-and-click adventure game that doubles as a musical!
In Adventures of a Cat in Space, you step into the paws of a feline astronaut who finds themselves lost in the vast expanse of space due to a series of unfortunate events. Your only companion on this interstellar journey is the ship's AI, voiced by none other than Arthur Darvill, known for his role in Doctor Who. Together, you'll navigate through the galaxy, explore alien planets, and solve an array of puzzles to find your way back home.
What sets this game apart is its unique twist as a musical. As you guide the cat through its adventure, you'll also collect 11 original songs crafted by children's composer David Gibb, adding a melodic layer to your space-faring journey. This all-ages adventure combines the classic elements of point-and-click puzzles with the charm and quirkiness of musical storytelling.
Adventures of a Cat in Space will launch with a lite version, offering a taste of the game's initial chapter and introducing players to its core mechanics. While I can't guarantee how well it will cater to young puzzle enthusiasts, the game's quirky humor is sure to appeal to adults looking for a light-hearted escape.
You'll be able to find Adventures of a Cat in Space on the iOS App Store, though there's no word yet on an Android release. If you're eager for more puzzle-solving fun, be sure to check out our comprehensive list of the top 25 best puzzle games for iOS and Android!
