Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a cat burglar who was actually, well, a cat? Enter Heist Kitty, a multiplayer game that turns you into an adorable kitty bent on wreaking havoc and setting the blocky sandbox universe on fire.

“What do cats think about as they blink serenely in the sun?” asks developer LetMeowt Games. “Fish skeletons? Balls of yarn? No, it’s a butcher shop. Pure carnage. Truer words have never been spoken (or written).

In Heist Kitty, your whole job is to wreak havoc on the human inhabitants of a blocky sandbox world and look adorable while doing it. You’ll choose your furry meowling character, outfit it with a pair of fancy sunglasses or an adorable squid hat, and then… go wild.

The official trailer below shows our evil little tracks zipping through the streets in a hot pink sports car (which certainly didn’t steal), running around stores dropping random items off the shelves and robbing a bank vault. These guys are the Meowfia, and they shouldn’t be taken lightly.

However, you can also team up with Purrlice, who “could use extra claws and paws to maintain order.” You will get a nice police cap for your enlistment, but you will be constantly threatened by mean cats. It’s all good though, because you’re literally justice personified, just a little shorter and a little hairier.

“What could be crazier than a bag of cats? A city full of them,” writes LetMeowt, and it rings true. On the other hand, you are also chased by a bear. So here it is, I guess.

I loved Stray, don’t get me wrong, but even though you could knock things over and scrape carpets, the story was front and center and sometimes the chaos had to take a back seat. In Heist Kitty, chaos are the object of the game, and that is Exactly what I want.

He Heist Kitty release date set for May 2023, and you can now list it on Steam if that sounds like you (chat). It is also part of the Excalibur Games series of simulations, so check it out as well if you are a PC simulation game enthusiast.

If you haven’t tried Stray, I’d recommend checking out our Stray review – it’s one of the best of 2022, trust me. However, if you prefer the “criminal” side of Heist Kitty, Rockstar’s iconic GTA is still one of the best crime game series.
