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. The game is set in an open world kingdom called Felingard. The player takes controls of an anthropomorphic cat who embarks on a quest to rescue his kidnapped sister. The game features real-time combat, dungeon crawling, and equipment progression.
Plot.
The game starts with an opening cutscene showing the player 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 player’s boat, leaving him stranded in the sea, and disappears. While the player is unconscious, it is revealed that they possess a strange purple mark on the back of their head.
Some time later, the player washes on the shore of Felingard, an island kingdom, where the inhabitants are mostly cats. They are accompanied by a friendly spirit, Spirry, who reveals that they are the player’s guardian spirit. Spirry reveals that dragons have returned to Felingard, and the player 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 player 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 player is from the Dragonblood lineage, they can learn magic.
