The Purring Quest – Cat-aracts for Platformers

If cataracts can cause vision loss, then cat-aracts should… cause cats.

If cataracts can cause vision loss, then cat-aracts should… cause cats. Yes. This is how things work. I know I’d be happy with my vision causing kittens to appear, even as my nose started to run and my eyes to water from my feline friend allergies.

The Purring Quest (not to be confused with the Turing test) is the new game from animal-friendly Valhalla Cats, and, in case you couldn’t guess, stars cats! Players are placed in control of Kimchi the cat, and over the course of the game, will meet various famous cats of the Internet (think Grumpy cat, Piano cat, and so on) while stealthily platforming through a cat-focused world.

Not much is known about the story, except that players will be travelling around, saving kitties that have been trapped in cages by a dastardly masked cat. The animations and graphics are hand-drawn, and made with the help of an animator that has experience working at both Disney and Warner Bros. It also features a full orchestral soundtrack.

Those interested in learning more about The Purring Quest can visit the Spain-based Valhalla Cats’ site, where you can learn about the many cats of The Purring Quest , as well as learn about their mascot/feline overlord, Tika. You can also visit their Steam Greenlight page(though they’ve already been Greenlit).

In addition, Valhalla Cats will also be donating a percentage of profits made from the game directly to a variety of animal-based charities. Currently, the game has only been announced nebulously for “PC,” and not for any specific operating systems.
