4:51 Actually multiple colours of kittens is quite normal in cat litters. Assuming the parent cats were different colours, then some kitten's will inheret the father's fur genes and others will have the mother's The interesting part is that female cats can mate with multiple males and due to superfecundation, kittens in the same litter will end up with different fathers So that also increases the chance kittens end up looking different
As I understand it, 'meow' is kitten-speak for "Mummy, I need help with something ". Adult cats have learned that meowing to humans gets the human to help you too.
42:05 That's how we know this game was made by cat lovers 😍 My cat got into a fight and got scratched pretty bad on the back. We need to put a little coat on him to keep him from taking off the bandages and he walked exactly like that for hours until he got used to it and went back to walking normally 😂
@@DanteRU0312 I don't know man, I've tried walking on a cat before it wasn't the same, they just kinda spilled kool aid everywhere, didn't know cats had kool aid
When cats knock stuff off a surface, they're doing it for specific reasons. Either to clear a path for a catwalk, or to get your attention/interact with you. Ever watch a cat stare right at you as they slowly swipe something to the floor? They're trying to measure your engagement with their actions. If you don't react (or simply look away), they'll stop because it's no fun.
😻 the cat movement and interactions are really realistic, apart from the bit with the butterfly (coming from a cat owner who was just given a dead butterfly as a present)
If a cat catches an animal and brings it to you, it's not a present. It's an assignment. "I caught this and my instincts say it's food. Do your ape thing and turn it into an actual meal. Please and thank you!"
Yeah the thumbnail reminded me of the boardgame Calico, probably because the cat's coloring is similar. Cats and games are definitely a winning combo, what's not to love!? 😻
Eeee this game is so cuteeee The cat is so perfectly and realistically animated! There's actually a twitter account of real cats watching the game and getting confused lol, bless them, it's that well done V hyped for this series!
During development, the name of the game was "HK_Project"; that and the city being inside a wall (Kowloon Walled City) would explain the Hong Kong-style architecture.
4:50 so cats are interesting because the same litter may actually be (and usually is) from multiple dads. Most cats have half-sibling twins. Also a lot of cats are chimeras: their bodies have cells of different genes coming from different dads. Some of the fur patterns that exist in cats are not possible without such chimerism. Some of them are also only seen in, iirc, male cats for similar reasons. Might have been only female cats, can't recall. But anyway, as a result of all that, single litters tend to have wildly different fur patterns unless specifically bread
yes, calicos (tricolor) are strictly female! completely orange cats are strictly male. its bc of chromosomes. if a male calico exists they have XXY chromosomes.
35:52 Makes sense in-world because it's probably the robots that wrote it before they developed their own language, not accounting for literal decades or even centuries of linguistic drift
Some fun cat facts for your newfound cat obsession, welonz! 1. Cats actually do meow to each other, but it's usually in infancy to get the mother's attention, they naturally learn that it will get the humans attention too so they also do it to us. How much or how little a cat meows is a personality thing tho, some cats are VERY vocal while others don't meow at all/very rarely 2. Cats are the most efficient land predator, they can jump up to 6 times their height and the fastest housecats can run up to 30 miles per hour while sprinting, which is the same as Usain Bolt! 3. The myth that cats always fall on their feet holds some true, since they have one of the most flexible skeletons in nature, which means they can manouver their bodies quicker, even mid jump! 4. House cats share 95,6% of their genetic making with tigers! Yes, 95,6%! And because of that they share many behaviours with them! 5. Cats have 32 muscles in their ears, which allows them to swivel them around and determine the exact source of sounds, cats can rotate their ears in an 180° degree angle! 6. A litter of kittens can also be called a "kindle" of kittens
25:47 am I the only one who was reminded of headcrabs during this chase scene? Not counting the orange headlamp eye thing of course, but they are a similar shape and the way they kinda waddle and then jump at you with their 2 front legs and latch on. These are definitely cuter but I dunno, I got a headcrab vibe. (I did just watch a Half Life Alyx let's play so that's still fresh in my mind).
In my understanding all cats meow its just that between other cat its not in a range humans can hear and the meows they give to humans is essentially them shouting at us so with you playing as a cat it would make sense that you would hear the meowing between them.
41:51 they did a great job with the cat body language after the backpack thing was put on! I've seen (indoor) cats react that same exact way to having a harness put on them before heading out for a walk, they're like... umm what?? But in short order they're chill about it.
They could be from the same litter. I had a rescued cat who promptly had a litter with a rare orange female, two calicos (almost always female), a gray polydactyl female (like a Hemingway cat) and a black male. Not only is this genetically possible, but cats can have litters with multiple fathers.
Stray cats can really have quite an abundance of colors in their litters. We had one we took in, and she had five kittens, one yellow, one white, one black, and two mottled. They were the unique bunch.
I waited until I finished the game, so I'm late to the action, but I have to say your playthrough is - unsurprisingly - excellent. The keen eye for detail, the analyses of the situations, it's what I'm here for. Thanks for the info on the bamboo scaffolding, which i hadn't even noticed, and for the translation of the Chinese symbols. Now that I know all this, Hongkong or a derivative of it makes so much sense. Gonna have to go and watch part 2. Just thanks!
There are some very expensive cat breeds, just like dogs. Look up how much a pure-bred Siberian is, for example! You're not wrong though Welonz. Most cat owners don't care, e.g. our cat is black with white socks.
this game was genuinely one of the best gaming experiences i've had in a while. even though it has some thrilling scenes i love the exploration/adventure aspect of it. all the little details really show that the team is full of cat lovers. and playing this game made me feel bad for my cats looking up at me all the time lol :'|
i adore cats! your voice is very lovely and greetings from germany. i dont have much to say but comments are supposed to increase the reach of a video so there you go. hope it helps
Meowlenz: pspspsps... Stray 🐈: Meow? Meowlenz: Awww! 🥺 -x-x- Looks great so far! Cyberpunk settings can be beautiful if done right, and so far this is intriguing. Curious about mechanics like sleeping actually advancing time or are just for show. Also, are we just gonna not question the fact that 🐈 can apparently understand English. Also, just doubting that the language titles happen have actual script, like Tunic did, was excited for that, but I doubt it's gonna be like that. To me from a distance, those orange blobs had looked like mice. So, something analogous to that in this world? What will 🐈 be named though??
The language titles are just the boring “replace the alphabet with something else” kind of script, although there seem to be multiple ways to stylize letters ( so, handwriting ) ( it’s obvious, just look at the “inside the”, and since you have literal translations for a lot of text, this will not take long to decipher ) Also, there are Chinese characters in some places, and i think i saw some Japanese kana too.
It’s been 10 minutes and what i found is about the titles follows: 1. ?LUE, INSIDE THE WALL 2. CITY, DEAD CITY 3. HELP, ?LUET WEL?E FLAT, ( it’s from the new episode, i filled in some letters )
Wow this is very intriguing. I love a cyberpunk setting and of course who wouldn't want to play as a cat! This looks like the kinda game that Welonz is the ideal let's player for. Love hearing the little tidbits about the architecture being like Hong Kong and it's cool that the Chinese characters were (somewhat) legible too. Any other let's player I've watched wouldn't have been able to read that at all. Another game I didn't know about until I saw this video but I'm immediately invested in seeing where the story goes! Thanks Welonz!
Not even a full episode of this and im already traumatized for this game it made me sad and i dont want to watch but i want to see the happy ending. Idk what to do.
I saw you on my recommend and you are exactly the type of person I was hoping to play this sort of game. Even the intro sold me on this channel. Gonna have fun watching this!
I'm gonna do my best to watch this lp because I love your work Welonz, but dangit animals suffering is the one thing my heart can't stand. I hope kitty gets back home to his friends because 10 minutes in I already feel like crying T-T
This looks great! Somehow reminds me of an episode from the Netlfix animated show Love Death Robots, that had cats robots in a similar post apocalyptic world without humans.

"Hello, my name is... Meowlenz" - it was at this very moment, that I was completely invested in this playthrough.
Same subscribed immediately after I heard that lol
same here. and for a few seconds i had the high hopes that we would hear this cat-speak the whole playthough :D
That’s her new name from now on lol
That was Purrfect 😺
welcome to the family !!
"Press O to meow" is the best prompt in any video game ever
19:40 Stanley lifted the bucket into his arms, and a wave of comfort rushed over him...
Oh boy, I can tell there will be lots of "aww"s in this one. Someone could probably make a counter for it.
We’d be able to be millionaires if we got a dime for all the times we collectively say awe in this game
Welonz ‘Awww’s’ reminds me of a anime character voice lol
Welonz dropping the plot important item to play with the box is the most cat accurate thing she could've done XD

Welonz plays cat simulator for 46 mins

Eh every cat is unique so not unrealistic for some
@@EstesPark-kd6pt yeah every cat is unique, it’s just my cats act so similar to the cats at the beginning
If a cat catches an animal and brings it to you, it's not a present. It's an assignment.
"I caught this and my instincts say it's food. Do your ape thing and turn it into an actual meal. Please and thank you!"
@@AvanToor No actually it is meant as a gift. They're sharing a kill with you, giving you food, which for cats is the ultimate gift.
Fun fact: Kittens in one litter can have different fathers!
I feel like this game is gonna convince a lot of people to own a cat.
Hopefully not, or it might end up like when Finding Nemo was released; A bunch of people getting a pet they aren't able to care for and neglecting it.
...or confirming their decision to not have one around.
cats and games. combining the two best things together. i love it already
Yeah the thumbnail reminded me of the boardgame Calico, probably because the cat's coloring is similar. Cats and games are definitely a winning combo, what's not to love!? 😻
I am conflicted. I want to play this game unspoiled, but I also don't want to miss out on watching the whole thing together with everyone here.
"Now I want to go back up because I'm annoying!" Yup Welonz has nailed roleplaying a cat 😁
Eeee this game is so cuteeee
The cat is so perfectly and realistically animated! There's actually a twitter account of real cats watching the game and getting confused lol, bless them, it's that well done
V hyped for this series!

28:50 silly welonz, only stepsisters get stuck in wash machines
90% of the Let's Play will be various "aww" noices and I am for it.
Wow, the cat just flopping over the second you put the harness on it was perfect.
In the wild cats usually only meow as kittens or mothers, but they often learn to use that to communicate with humans if they are domesticated.
15:15 Thank you Welonz for recognising bamboo scaffolding and my city! Now back to our regular schedule purtgramming
35:52 Makes sense in-world because it's probably the robots that wrote it before they developed their own language, not accounting for literal decades or even centuries of linguistic drift

When it said “Thanks for watching!” I had a feeling of longing and withdrawal already. Then, I remembered this was just part 1…
Phew!
The only thing this game needs is an in-depth Cat character creation.
11:39 Fly you fools.
There NEED to be a part 2... I want him to reunite with the other cats... The way they were calling to him when he fell was heartbreaking !
25:47 am I the only one who was reminded of headcrabs during this chase scene? Not counting the orange headlamp eye thing of course, but they are a similar shape and the way they kinda waddle and then jump at you with their 2 front legs and latch on.

If a cat is not sleeping it wants to eat! I keep waiting throughout this playthrough that poor kitties are gonna catch something tasty!
My cat at home used to scritch my carpeted stairs
"Meowterwelonz" is the word you were looking for
41:51 they did a great job with the cat body language after the backpack thing was put on! I've seen (indoor) cats react that same exact way to having a harness put on them before heading out for a walk, they're like... umm what?? But in short order they're chill about it.
44:02 Walled city?? Like Kowloon walled city. Probably not the location since it got demolished in 1993 but it would be freaking sick
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaw this pushes all the cute buttons... Cuddly Kittey!
"Game of the year, 2022." - Monster Hunter Palicos
"The world is not looking so great out there.. let's take a nap."
Sounds about right
Whoever had the idea for this game, I love you
They could be from the same litter. I had a rescued cat who promptly had a litter with a rare orange female, two calicos (almost always female), a gray polydactyl female (like a Hemingway cat) and a black male. Not only is this genetically possible, but cats can have litters with multiple fathers.
I wonder if that "Love Death and Robots" was an inspiration
Ah so welonz meets her greatest weakness... the kitten! I'm also excited for this playthrough, it looks quite interesting!
OMG! It is happening! Everyone stay calm. Meowlonz is playing Stray! Yay! 😻
Excited to see Welonz react to how accurately the game portrays Hong Kong
Stray cats can really have quite an abundance of colors in their litters. We had one we took in, and she had five kittens, one yellow, one white, one black, and two mottled. They were the unique bunch.
They meow to make theirselves cute 🥰
It's so, funny I hadn't watched this channel in so long but I saw this this game and thought "I wanna watch welonz play this"
21:57 oh yeah they do. I have a stray cat that goes to our home and always do that to the carpet
When watching an immersive gameplay feels like good ASMR

Halfway into the video & I'm convinced this is a game I want to play! Thank you for the great video. I'll be back to watch the rest later.
I finally got around to playing this on the weekend. Now I can watch all the Blind Plays!
i also dont have cats so its really fun to see all those things they do and wonder if the beasts are capable of all of it...
this game was genuinely one of the best gaming experiences i've had in a while. even though it has some thrilling scenes i love the exploration/adventure aspect of it. all the little details really show that the team is full of cat lovers. and playing this game made me feel bad for my cats looking up at me all the time lol :'|
Meowlenz playing a game by Anna-purr-na Interactive. This is going to be great!
waited for some uploads to drop before I started checking this game out via your playthrough, can't wait to see what happens
My name is meowlonz. And today my heart is going to melt for 45 minutes.
i adore cats! your voice is very lovely and greetings from germany. i dont have much to say but comments are supposed to increase the reach of a video so there you go. hope it helps

"I'm cute."
- Meowlonz, 2022
Such a great game and LP for that matter !
Orange cats are the best. It has been scientifically proven. (I made that second part up but won't change my mind.)
Hi, new here, your voice is comforting to listen to, I appreciate the good audio quality
Meowlenz: pspspsps...
Stray 🐈: Meow?
Meowlenz: Awww! 🥺

2:24 look, they aren't so close. if they were close, they would sleep on top of each other (like my cats do, especially when it's rainy and cold)😅
Meowlenz! So cute lol
You are a cat! That's awesome
I was waiting for this game 😭 Really looking foward to playing it alongside this LP
Yes!! Glad to see someone play this game
Welonz and oh so many cute and hilariously accurate cats??? God I’m hyped AF for this 😻😻😻
Bro I got a cat 2 days ago. Time to see what it is like to be on the other side.
Confirmed: Welonz (Meowenz?) and bucket are a dream team (see also Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe) :)
Wish more people knew about this channel 🎉

As soon as I see the trailer for this game I already wanted to see your gameplay of it. 😆
19:40 "This... is a _bucket"_
31:58 It's a furry!
Man, video games are just getting more and more amazing. I've heard about this game and will get down to watching your playthrough later today.
Not even a full episode of this and im already traumatized for this game it made me sad and i dont want to watch but i want to see the happy ending. Idk what to do.
I'm remember always exploring the world of this game :)
I saw you on my recommend and you are exactly the type of person I was hoping to play this sort of game. Even the intro sold me on this channel. Gonna have fun watching this!
SOOOO tempted to watch this but I wanted to start my own playthrough first and it's not even out for me yet 😭 the struggle is real
I started it, and my cat was staring at the TV through the whole intro 😻 it was very cute
Regarding the dog breed thing, I think people just have no idea what type of cat they have lol
With that voice you are in my opinion the most lovely Person on TH-cam, You should be on NRB.
Omg the beginning makes me want to get reborn as a kitty
Watched your nier automata lp the other day. Super hyped to watch you play stray now.
I'm gonna do my best to watch this lp because I love your work Welonz, but dangit animals suffering is the one thing my heart can't stand. I hope kitty gets back home to his friends because 10 minutes in I already feel like crying T-T
YEEEESSS!!! I've been waiting for this!
thanks for that lp. i was hyped since the first trailer. love to see such a world through cateyes.
ahhh it's so cool you're playing this!! i've no idea what to expect besides ... cats !!!
The little critters look like Half life head crabs
Welonz + cats = purrfect
This looks great!
Somehow reminds me of an episode from the Netlfix animated show Love Death Robots, that had cats robots in a similar post apocalyptic world without humans.
15:19 the game was inspired ny kawloon that was in hong kong
The city is based on Kowloon Walled City.
[cute welonz noises intensifies]
Hail Meowlenz
subbed purely because you are playing this and because you are called Meowlenz lol
I didnt even know this was coming out right now
how are there already 4 parts up I thought this game only got released yesterday
