IF Comp Review: Forever Meow
Oct. 12th, 2015 09:05 pmHello, all and sundry! For the next couple weeks I'm going to be reviewing a game from this year's IF Comp every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Up next, it's Moe Zilla's Forever Meow.
Forever Meow is about a cat who, while exploring his home, manages to save the day. (I'm trying not to give away anything important here.) There are a few light puzzles, but nothing too strenuous; the emphasis here is on the atmosphere and kitty antics, not the brainteasers.
The backstory and setting of the game have a certain poignancy, and while some might think the ending is too schmaltzy, I thought it was very fitting; after all, it's a game about a cat who just wants to be fed and loved, so going light isn't a bad choice. I found one errant bug, but nothing serious enough to bring down the experience. Probably not going to be my favorite game of this Comp, when all is said and done, but it's my favorite so far.
Conclusion: ( Click for verdict )
