First Time in Garage | I Am Cat | Walkthrough, Gameplay, No Commentary
I Am Cat
Description
The game *I Am Cat* is a virtual reality sandbox adventure where players embody a mischievous feline. Released in full on December 5, 2024, it emphasizes physics-based interaction and role-playing, allowing players to explore a domestic world from a cat's unique perspective. The core gameplay utilizes an arm-based locomotion system, mimicking walking on all fours to move, climb, and leap. This physicality grounds the player in the cat's body, encouraging interactions like knocking over objects, scratching furniture, and chasing laser pointers. Missions are delivered through a smart-watch or via other animal characters, integrating players into a feline hierarchy.
The initial environment, "Granny's House," serves as a tutorial, densely packed with interactive elements. However, a significant expansion, introduced in the 1.0 update, is the "Garage" level, a distinct departure from the cozy home setting. The first time a player enters the Garage, it presents a striking shift from soft interiors to the hard, industrial feel of concrete and clutter. The space is a vertical playground, replete with shelves, boxes, and a car needing repair, immediately inviting exploration via the game's climbing mechanics.
Central to this new area is the Mechanic, a character focused on his work, offering a fresh target for feline disruption. The experience of entering the Garage for the first time is characterized by testing these new boundaries—knocking over toolboxes, pilfering components, or simply obstructing the Mechanic's efforts. The gameplay loop here revolves around a quest to "fix" the car, paradoxically achieved through the cat's chaotic agency. This guides players through tasks like lifting the car with a jack, positioning a tire, and even "hammering" out dents, all while maintaining the low-to-the-ground cat perspective.
Objectives often require extensive exploration, leading players to discover hidden items like an engine lever in the attic or a screwdriver for the dashboard. These constructive tasks are interspersed with more naturally feline missions, such as cleaning trash from the car. The climax involves attempting to start the car, frequently ending in comedic failure or a crash, reinforcing the game's slapstick humor. Beyond these missions, the Garage also acts as a physics sandbox, with activities like punching a boxing bag encouraging players to experiment with the game's mechanics. The sheer density of objects ensures that most movements result in satisfying cascades of falling items, rewarding player curiosity. The first foray into the Garage represents a significant expansion of the game's world, transitioning players from simple housecat mischief to more complex, objective-driven chaos, effectively blending sandbox freedom with puzzle-like structure and reinforcing the player's role as an agent of delightful destruction.
