    Just watching the gameplay footage, this is one game where I have no clue how they made it, imagine making this where you seamlessly jump from 2d to 3d, or have 2D gameplay in 3D area, etc. All games are hard to make, but with most games, I somewhat get how its made, this one is on another level.

It kind of reminds me of Zelda A Link Between Worlds with a few extra steps. Also, congrats on the ten years of your channel!

    Maaaaaan, with how this game visually presents itself, I'm not too surprised that the game also has good pacing, but I really wanted it to be able to keep me on my toes and make me think. More complexity in combat and puzzles would have drawn me in. I really like the 2-d storybook art style as well, top tier.

Play Cat Quest III if you want a chill and cute adventure, at least you get to actually PLAY the game instead of constantly have to endure meaningless drivel.
