Description
About This Game
Rediscover the world from a new perspective: through the eyes of a cat!
The Cat: Tales of Istanbul is a story-driven cat simulation where you experience the world through three very different kittens — a spoiled housecat, a charming stray, and a hardened survivor — each revealing a new side of Istanbul’s soul.
Live Three Cat Lives
Every kitten offers its own mood, gameplay, and a new story to uncover:
The White Cat — The Housecat: Your typical spoiled cat — entitled, adorable, and impossible to ignore. Knock things off tables, scratch furniture, demand affection, and walk away the moment you get it.
Life is easy, predictable… until it suddenly isn’t.
The Ginger Cat — The Stray: The flirty, charming heart of Istanbul — a street celebrity adored by everyone, yet belonging to no one. She strolls through markets, lounges on café chairs, and wins treats with a purr and a tilt of her head.
Vendors feed her, tourists take her picture, locals call her by name — but no one takes her home.
The Black Cat — The Survivor: A shadow among the alleys — cautious, silent, and scarred. Life has never offered him safety, only lessons carved into his fur. He digs through garbage for scraps, steals from careless hands, and fights other strays for every mouse and patch of ground.
He doesn’t trust people. He barely trusts himself. But one day, something will make him question that.

The Soul of Istanbul
From sunlit rooftops to rain-soaked alleys, Istanbul is alive with vendors, children, seagulls, and countless tiny stories.
Each chapter intertwines across the same city — familiar places look, sound, and feel new through another cat’s eyes.
Cozy, Emotional, and Deeply Human
Beneath the cozy fur and playful leaps lies a story about independence, empathy, and belonging — not just for cats, but for anyone searching for home.
Perfect for fans of Stray, Spiritfarer, Little Kitty, Big City, and Endling, blending cozy life-sim elements, story-rich exploration, and emotional narrative.
