Game of the week: Cattails
"Become a cat! Cattails is a unique animal simulation RPG. Hunt for food, fight invading cats, explore to gather herbs, and socialize with other cats in an expansive open world. Get married and raise a family of kittens, befriend your neighbors, and learn to live in the dangerous wilderness!"
Viewer LegallyBoopy recommended this a while back and it's under four bucks right now on Steam. And I love cats. And I can't get VR streaming working to try out my friend Michael's game. So let's try this!
