Details

Overview

A Cat Lived Here is a quiet, text-based life simulation from developer Hayan Ryu, released on November 3, 2026. The game focuses on the small, ordinary moments that accumulate when a cat moves into your life.

There are no grand quests or fast-paced action—just the gentle rhythm of shared routines and the subtle ways a presence changes a home.

Highlights

Text-Based Storytelling: The entire experience unfolds through written scenes, letting you imagine each moment in your own way.
Meaningful Choices: Occasional decisions let you shape how you respond to everyday situations, leaving traces in the routines and spaces you share.
A Calendar of Memories: One tile marks each month together, and a circular dial tracks the passing time, turning months of habits into a record of a life.

Who It's For

This game is perfect for players who enjoy slow, contemplative experiences—those who find joy in watching a kitten play with a ball or simply sitting nearby. If you like interactive fiction, cozy simulations, or stories where choices matter, A Cat Lived Here offers a gentle, emotional journey.

It's also a great pick for anyone who loves cats and wants to relive the quiet magic of sharing a home with one.
