Evaluation

Catizens launched into Early Access on August 17, 2022 with a published roadmap outlining five planned updates culminating in Level 6 and a final dragon boss. The developer followed through on every major milestone: Update 1 (Swamps/Rat King, October 2022), the Vanity Update (June 2023), the Whelpling Update (November 2023), and finally the full 1.0 release on November 14, 2024. That launch post explicitly describes the game as reaching "full release" and delivered the final story chapter, the dragon boss, sandbox mode expansion, and additional decor — exactly what was promised in the original roadmap's Update 5. The developer stated the game is "almost complete" ahead of that release and framed the 1.0 launch as the conclusion of the cats' journey. No post-launch updates, roadmaps, DLC, or announcements of future content have appeared since November 14, 2024. The only DLC listed is the Original Soundtrack, which was released in August 2023. The game shipped as a story-complete package with no outstanding commitments or communicated plans for additional content.

About this game

Herding cats is easy! Said no one…ever

Your main job in Catizens is to build your town around the personality traits of its inhabitants. Just like in real life, cats require personal attention and special treatment. Combinations of different personality traits and moods affect their proficiency and obedience. Catizens form relationships with each other and will occasionally issue personal requests, so you will need to learn what makes each cat happy in order to stay on their good side.

Create unique cats and design the perfect home

Pick from an assortment of facial and body features, as well as personality traits to create cats with distinct looks and temperaments. Design a place just for them by decorating your settlements with pieces of furniture, plants and other items. The better furnished a town is, the happier your catizens will be. So get creative!

Build and manage your settlement

Catizens can learn a variety of professions – from farming, to blacksmithing or offering protection from local wildlife. Different building types unlock depending on the traits and professions available. There’s no need to micromanage the entire settlement when it gets large. Invest your time and attention in a few outstanding cats and let them become town leaders.

Explore the wilderness

Develop your settlement, complete objectives and expand to areas with different environments that offer new adventures. Carefully examine your surroundings to find the best fishing spots, hidden treasures and quirky characters that may offer a quest.
