Catlife

This   is my  submission  for the OGA Summer GameJam 2025.
My very first   own game too, and I was just   winging it without  a plan or knowing what I was doing  😅


Catlife   is a little resource-management game simulating the symbyotic  relationship between  a human and a pet cat.
You play as the cat who has some basic needs  like hunger, affection, playing and sleep. You want to  fullfill all your needs while simultaniously  minding your human's emotional states. You influence those with your behaviour. If you don't make your human angry   and keep   them happy, they will cuddle and play with you. If they're mad they might not be up for cuddles, so you should be mindful of that when trying to fulfill your need for affection.

Since this was created for a GameJam  and with limited time  there are a lot of planned features that didn't make it into the game. 
Dismissed features include:
-several rooms  and more furniture, especially the ones for cats.
-a backyard area where you can run, play , explore and maybe even encounter birds or mice to hunt.
-more "hidden" needs, such as wanting to scratch,  explore your teritorry, stealing your human's attention when they sit at the computer, and  a "zoomie-meter"  where you have to uncontrollably run around when it's full
-human's daily routine, such as going to bed and waking up at certain times, going to work, leaving the home for any other reasons, filling your bowl at specific times, etc.
-random events such as stranger humans come to visit sometimes, your human bringing home a new toy, your human gives you snackies, human gets an emotional phone call strongly affecting one or more of their emotions (can be positive or negative randomly),  human leaves home for several days, your toys or cat tree can break so you have no choice but to scratch on furniture (depending on the hidden "scratch" need)
- and many many more

So this is like a really really small demo version.
