Cat Tails Wildwood Story

2024-12-27

This is the sequel to Cattails, which my kid spent a lot of time with. Wildwood is a "more of that" sequel with updated portraits and a strong emphasis on building the town and recruiting cats to join your colony. I caught many ladybugs.

I haven't played a game focused around recruitment in a while. The first example that popped into my head was Suikoden, but Terraria does this as well. So far, cats are recruited by collecting all the items on a list through gathering and hunting. Hunting involves a quick-time mini-game that is somewhat unintuitive due to how quickly the bar moves, but doable. That will probably change as the skill levels up.

I only played about 5 hours of the first game, and I'm not sure how much I'll play of this one. I appreciate this game exists and I do like cats, but ultimately that wasn't enough to keep me engaged the first time.
