You Can Now Play A Video Game From The Perspective Of A Cat And We Think That Is The Best Thing Ever
Cat lovers finally have something to purr about, and it is not just another cute video clip. A new game in development, called HK, puts players in control of a cat exploring a futuristic city, which is exactly the kind of premise that can make the internet lose its mind.
The project is still early, so details are limited, but the idea alone is enough to get attention. With a small team behind it and a cat-centered concept that already sounds irresistible, this one is shaping up to be a game people will be watching closely.
And yes, the cat movement footage is already doing a lot of the heavy lifting.
Our dreams are coming true. Currently in development, the game called HK involves the player taking control of a cat and navigating through a futuristic city.
The video game is still early in development, so not much is known about it yet. However, we are fortunate that the game's creators shared insights during a Q&A session on their development blog. This sentiment resonates with eager fans as we await more juicy details about the game we all cannot wait to play.
Based on the city inspiration alone, we are already further intrigued (though we were drawn in by the whole... you know, cat thing.)
Also, this futuristic cat adventure feels like the 46 crime cats caught mid-heist, still acting proud.
Officially, the game is set in "an indefinite period," but unofficially, it seems to take place in the future. This was determined by the presence of humanoid robots we've seen in game screenshots.
Developed by a team of two humans (and two cats), HK is expected to be launched for the PC... "and maybe PS4/Xbox1/CPC6128/Atari2600/..." It's still pretty early in production, so it's hard to say for sure yet. For now, they’re still in pre-production, research, and development stages, so they have said that they "need a few more years to make what we want." They've also stated there will be no early access release.
This is most evident in a video revealing how well they've already nailed the cat's movements:
Other impressive notes on the game include the revelation from a screenshot shared in October of 2015 that it appears the game will use Unreal Engine 4, a program with a reputation for being used to create some incredible things.
Now, to say we're excited about this video game is putting it lightly. We are beyond excited and will definitely be following insights from experts like This innovative approach to gaming not only entertains but also fosters a deeper connection with our feline friends. We can't wait to see where this journey takes us!
