Listen, if the Aristocats taught us anything back in 1970 it's that 'Everybody Wants to Be a Cat'. Well, now developer New Folder Games is finally making that dream a reality with I Am Cat – a brand new VR title that lets you live the life of a troublesome feline, escaping the prison of grandma's house to explore a wider sandbox. An utterly chaotic trailer appeared at the Golden Joystick Awards highlighting the December 5, 2024, release date and I'm already digging out my Meta Quest headset.
I Am Cat VR brings to life what we've always known – cats are chaos-agents put on this earth to make life more difficult for the rest of us. That's the role you'll embody in this adventure, as you stalk around an open world to disrupt as much as possible – knocking plants off of tables, switching off appliances, throwing tableware at humans, and cooking up some delicious meals… okay, the game may have lost me on that last one, but otherwise it's looking unmissable for anybody who has ever dreamed of becoming a cat for a day.
If you'd like to learn more about I Am Cat VR then you'll want to head over to Steam and add it to your wishlist, ensuring that you'll get updates on the game as New Folder Games marches towards release. In the meantime, I'm going to hit replay on what has to be one of the most chaotic trailers of 2024 so far.
