Was the headline a bit much? Whatever, I saw cafe-cat-sim in the description for Calico and knew I needed to hear more. You can ride lamas and wear owls on your head head like a hat, what more do you need? “Get ready to enjoy the beloved day-in-the-life community sim game, where you are given an important and adorable task: rebuild the town’s cat café! Fill it with cute furniture, fun decorations, and yummy pastries to get it bustling with animals again!” How did I not know I had a cat café hole in my heart? There are a variety of ways to decorate, animals to befriend, and dishes to serve patrons. Beyond your responsibilities with the cat café, you can explore an open world, customize your avatar with clothing, and try your hand with potions that change the way you interact with the world around you. The PlayStation release of Calico also includes all the content featured in Calico: Pawsome Edition.
Calico will be available on PlayStation 4 and 5 on November 28, 2023. If you can’t wait that long or have a Switch or PC, the game has been available on both platforms and currently has a “very positive” rating on Steam.
