Gameplay

Cat Quest is an action role-playing video game played from a top-down perspective similar to Dragon Quest, which this game is based on.[3] The game is set in an open world kingdom called Felingard.[4] The player takes controls of an anthropomorphic cat who embarks on a quest to rescue his kidnapped sister.[4][5] The game features real-time combat, dungeon crawling, and equipment progression.[4]

Plot

The game starts with an opening cutscene showing the hero and his sister on a small boat in the open sea. His sister is then abducted by an unknown white cat wearing a mask. The white cat destroys the hero’s boat, leaving him stranded in the sea, and disappears. While the hero is unconscious, it is revealed that he possesses a strange purple mark on the back of his head.

Some time later, the hero washes on the shore of Felingard, an island kingdom, where the inhabitants are mostly cats. He are accompanied by a friendly spirit, Spirry, who reveals that he is the hero’s guardian spirit. Spirry reveals that dragons have returned to Felingard, and the hero must stop them. After defeating a couple of enemies, Spirry suggests they go visit a mage, who might know what the purple mark on the hero means. The mage reveals that the mark is a symbol of the Dragonblood, a group of warriors who defeated the dragons a long time ago, but vanished mysteriously. The mage suggests that since the hero is from the Dragonblood lineage, they can learn magic.
