About This Game

"Play With Your Cat!" is a virtual toy box for you and your beloved cat. This is not a videogame in a conventional sense. This is a virtual toy collection that gives you the tools for computer-mediated play with your cat buddies.

You are put in a key role in creating mutual play experiences with your animal buddies. There is no right or wrong way to play, because it is all about spontaneous moment-to-moment play. Just like when playing with a physical toy.


To be honest, one could describe this game as a glorified laser pointer. And that would be somewhat accurate. The difference is that we give you a variety of different characters and settings to interact and experiment with. All play tested with our developer and QA cats.

Like a laser pointer, this is a very powerful and engaging stimulus for cats of all ages and backgrounds. Suitable for cats who shy away from direct human contact. Or owners with limited mobility who would still like to easily play with their beloved pets from time to time.

★ DESIGNED AND TESTED WITH THE REAL END-USERS: CATS

★ 14 DIFFERENT PLAY MODES TO EXPERIMENT WITH

★ CONTROLLER, KEYBOARD & AI-PLAY SUPPORT

★ COLORFUL VISUALS AND SMOOTH ANIMATIONS

★ SOUNDSCAPES TO MATCH THE SETTINGS

★ EASILY CHANGE THE VIRTUAL OBJECTS’ SIZE AND SPEED DURING PLAY

★ THE GAME THAT YOUR CAT ACTUALLY LOVES TO PLAY WITH

★ CREATE CUSTOM AUTO-PLAY SESSIONS FOR YOUR CATS’ ENTERTAINMENT

★ CONTROL THE ACTION YOURSELF OR USE AI-PLAY OPTION

However, the best experiences are still created together when actually playing with your cat yourself. The AI option is mostly there to back you up when you are busy or you just want to put something for the cats to watch. They also like just watching the movement on the screens.

You can easily switch between AI-PLAY and manual controlling if something urgent comes during your play time. The show can go on regardless!

The game is built on a university study and has been designed and tested in a feedback loop with the actual end users: cats. All of the game modes have been playtested and validated entertainment-wise with our playtester cats.

We have strongly reduced the amount of modern human-centric design choices that offer cats no actual value. Instead, "Play With Your Cat!" focuses on mutually invented moment-to-moment play to maximize the engagement and fun for both the cats and their owners.

Still not convinced? Why not try out the free demo. The two play modes available in the demo were used in an actual university study. If your cat goes bananas with either one of these two game modes, chances are that they will enjoy other ones as well.

Every cat has their preferences regarding play. Find out the ones that your cat loves the best.

Remember; play is a complementary interaction and it requires responsiveness and respect from both parties involved. Observe your cat during play sessions. See what kind of modes, movement patterns and play styles make your cat tic.

So connect a controller or a keyboard to your device, take the role of the various virtual game objects and start inventing mutual fun with your feline friends.

Note: This game might not appeal to each and every cat. This is why we suggest you to try out the demo version beforehand.
