Minimum on the Steam store: 8 GB of memory, GeForce GTX 1650 / AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT (4 GB VRAM), 18 GB of storage. Runs on Windows, macOS.

A poignant narrative-driven game about rejection, belonging and the meaning of home. It follows the story of a newly adopted shelter cat whose space in the home is taken by a copycat. Bring the tissues.

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $5.99. That was January 2026. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 21 in the 2 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 12 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 78 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 90 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Cat Lady ($8.99, scores 84) beats it on value, while it beats Call of the Sea ($19.99, scores 54).

Of the 796 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 19 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 55 percent of the 197 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.
