Rating issues

The elderly woman’s daughter appears to consider suffocating her mother with a pillow but she doesn’t follow through. Another scene shows the cat purposely sitting in the middle of the road apparently waiting for an approaching car, to end its life. However, the car never hits them.

Other issues

There are multiple scenes that are quite tense. Early in the game, the cat finds themselves in a dark house while sirens approach and there are knocks at the door. Ominous music is added to increase tension, and the cat is clearly in distress. Later, there’s a dream sequence with spookily floating furniture, flickering lampposts, and a giant version of the old lady’s daughter angrily screaming.

During dream sequences and while roaming the gardens and streets, players can chase other animals: birds, rabbits, butterflies. The rabbits disappear in a puff of smoke when you ‘hit’ them, but the cat does catch a bird.
