CatBean Games – a new indie studio from Seattle, WA – launches their Kickstarter for Calico today. Set in a town of magical girls, witches, and a plethora of adorable animals hanging around town, you are tasked with bringing the town\u2019s Cat Caf\u00e9 back to life and full of new cuddly friends. With their Kickstarter, running all of October, Calico aims to be the perfect cute and cozy game.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal with Calico is to bring some comfort and joy to people everywhere. We couldn\u2019t believe more things like this didn\u2019t already exist. Magical girls running Cat Caf\u00e9s just seemed like such an obvious conclusion,\u201d said Kells of CatBean Games. \u201cI see so many wish fulfillment games out there, and I found them lacking in the sort of things I am into. Calico is basically my heart on a screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Calico\u2019s gameplay has players creating their own story in a cozy small town. While your \u201cgoal\u201d is technically to bring the town\u2019s Cat Caf\u00e9 back to life, Calico is really more about doing what makes you happy! Players can choose to fill the Cat Caf\u00e9 with animals, create and arrange pastries, decorate the Caf\u00e9, explore the town, make friends, play with animals, or do none of those things! It would be a little strange to just sit in the game and let the days pass doing nothing, but we\u2019re not judging!<\/p>\n

Along with people and cats, Calico will also allow the player to collect other animals for their Caf\u00e9. Animals like Dogs, Raccoons, rabbits, turtles, foxes, red pandas, and really anything else one would wish they could befriend in real life. Calico doesn\u2019t let realism get in the way of fun, with one notable feature being the ability to use magic potions on animals to change them. For example one spray of the Enlargement Potion turns an ordinary cat into your noble steed for faster travel!<\/p>\n
