Plot

The story in Cats and the Other Lives focuses on the fate of the Mason family who, due to an unfortunate event - the death of their grandfather Bernard - gather at the family estate to say goodbye to him. This causes fond memories to resurface, as well as old wounds and unfinished business that have been lingering among family members. Taking on the role of Aspen the cat, we gradually learn the secrets of the family, delving into the history of several generations.

Mechanics

It all takes place inside a vast mansion and its gardens, where, with our special abilities, we can also see fragments of its inhabitants' past, in the form of a flashback visible only to us.
