Guess the Kitty

Enter the quirky universe of Guess the Kitty, where I was both laughing and wincing at its odd mix of humor and morbidness. The premise is simple, but somehow, teeteringly, gripping: name the right cat breed, or face the grisly fates that await when you fail. As the game continues, more pressure is placed on the player to unlock all 10 endings, something that is harder to do than say for a casual player.

Pros: Undeniably unique premises as far as games go; a truly refreshing, if not dark, take on the quiz Bell curve format; whether you hate or love this game, both enhance it.

The challenge of attempting to gain all the endings does add some unique replay value, too. Pros: But it’s not the most polished of games; the humor can be hit-or-miss, depending on your sensibility, and the notion of punishing your virtual kitty may not appeal to all animal lovers. I have realized that not everyone liked the sadistic side — similar vibes to how people say cats are nice animals and that their pixelated versions should also be treated with the same respect.

Overall, Guess the Kitty can be a light distraction for anyone who is in the mood for the weird and has the time to deal with the trial-and-error gameplay loop in the game.
