Warning: Loot Box/Gacha Gambling
This game uses random-chance loot boxes/"gacha" mechanics ("Chance based in-game purchases") to unlock game elements, as a form of gambling and exploits psychological vulnerabilities. This is done for the profit of the developers, regardless of the harm it causes to gamers. This is completely predatory and unethical. Gamers must be aware of the dangers of this predatory monetization and should avoid this completely.
Warning: In-Game Cash Shop
This game is infested with a toxic mobile app style cash shop. You will be prompted to and expected to give money/credit card details to the developers through this cash shop to buy in-game goods so you can play the game.
"Catwifhat" is another disgusting clicker scam game like "banana". Effectively a blockchain/NFT game, but abusing the Steam Marketplace instead of some other blockchain/wallet system... the end result is the same, this isn't a real game, it's just dumped on Steam to scam PC gamers through the Steam Marketplace. It has no value as a serious game, you just click stuff in the hopes an "NFT" marketplace item drops so the developer can get paid for the sale... and of course so the developer can sell ones that he's farmed up himself.
So while this looks "free", it's only superficial. The real purpose for this game is for the developer to farm and exploit Steam Inventory items that drop through the game. They can then sell these items in bulk on the Steam Community Marketplace. This kind of Steam abuse, combined with a minimum-viable-product non-game, does no service to gamers whatsoever.
This is pollution... it's harmful to everyone. It hurts genuine indie devs, who have to compete with this pollution to get visibility for their sincerely made games. It makes indie devs look bad. It makes it harder for gamers to find those genuinely made games. It's designed to prey on gamers and manipulate the Steam Community Marketplace to the detriment of all.
Avoid this at all costs.
Developer Response!The developer has weighed in to inform everyone they didn't read the Developer Usage Rules for Steam "partners", or they deliberately ignored the part where Valve says:
Though it may be tempting, not every review needs to be responded to. A developer response will frequently draw more attention than the original statement, potentially turning a small issue into a much larger community discussion. It's also not a good idea to use this feature to refute customer opinions. Your direct attention can be seen as validation or a defensive attempt to silence your customers.
The developer seems to fail to understand or read anything. Their bizarre, rambling response achieves nothing but to confirm the points of my review. Gacha mechanics randomly drop items that you buy and sell on the Steam Marketplace. The developer gets a cut from every sale, of course, and of course is selling items he farmed himself to try to get rich.
My review clearly states the only difference between NFTs and the way the developer is abusing the Steam Marketplace is that the Steam Marketplace isn't backed by a blockchain, the tokens on the Steam Marketplace are fungible where NFTs are not. That's not what gamers care about, it's the toxicity of real world money trading for fake, computer generated "tokens". Which the developer has no choice to admit that he's doing, and even uses his breach of Valve guidelines to suggest gamers do it, so he can get even more money from this disgusting scam.
The developer makes this appalling response because he's squirming after being called out for his disgusting, anti-gamer cash grab.
Nothing in the developers pointless breach of Valve guidelines changes any of the objective facts of my review. My review stands unaltered. I cannot recommend this game to anyone.
