I already pinged you in discord but I'm pinging you here too!!!
penis bacon
Ooh? Sell me a little more because I've been curious
skerple
so this is a cute, chill little pet raising game
skerple
along the lines of Flight Rising, but like, REALLY lowkey
skerple
it's planned to have a heavy lore focus, and there's already a lot of lore available/inferrable
skerple
but also it's just cute.
skerple
you are building up a little village of cats, which are not actually cats, but also they're cats
skerple
(that is an extremely glib summation of the background lore)

Much like a guy is a gender neutral term, a cat does not need to be a domestic feline from earth in order to be a cat
skerple
correct
skerple
specifically, the lore is like
skerple
there were some cats living on earth, like any other stray cats
skerple
they had a magical guardian looking after them, a fuckin eldritch moose thing with floating disembodied eyes
skerple
until one day he came and actually spoke to them for the first time, saying "You are not cats. It's time to come home."
skerple
and fuckin opened up an interdimensional portal
skerple
to the actual setting of the game, Not-Earth
skerple
which is very earthLIKE but is, of course, not Earth
skerple
turns out these supposed cats were aliens from the reality next door all along
skerple
they're just funny lil guys who, I have to infer from the currently available lore, had to flee their world at some point in the distant past
skerple
and were catlike enough to pass as actual cats on earth
skerple
and that's it. that's what we know about the lore so far.
skerple
at least the history lore.
skerple
the actual gameplay is just like. you have your starting squad of cats and you can have them collect/produce resources every day, feed them a nice communal meal for bonuses, and do little text scenarios with them to have them build up relationships with each other over time
skerple
there's also a lil tabletop-style adventuring game you can do
skerple
also the eldritch moose buddy can give you an item or a new cat every day
skerple
it's all extremely low pressure, there's no daily streak or anything you have to maintain
skerple
it is simply here to be a cute, cozy little cat game that does not demand much of you.
skerple
also it's like REALLY queer
skerple
like. not-cats don't have male/female sexes, they are instead one of four "winds" - north, south, trade, or null
skerple
null cats do not produce biological offspring, but most combinations of the other three winds are viable - you just can't breed north/north or south/south really
skerple
each cat is generated with a random set of pronouns, which you can also change at any time
skerple
these pronouns include the neopronouns xe and ae
skerple
also your cats can be poly
skerple
or adopt kittens if they can't make their own
skerple
like I simply cannot overemphasize how cozily queer this game is
like I simply cannot overemphasize how cozily queer this game is
skerple
anyway it's all very chill and soft and gentle. I like it it's cute. come cats with me.
