9/10 open-world RPG is Diablo 4 with cats and it’s free for 24 hours

This open world action adventure, which casts you as a cute but vengeful cat, is free on the EGS right now but you'll have to hurry.

Cat Quest is the Epic Games Store’s latest free game, an adorable open world action adventure which sees your feline protagonist rescuing their catnapped sister. And if you can handle all the cat puns, it’s yours to keep if you claim it within the next 24 hours.

Is there anything that can’t be improved by replacing the main character with a cat? Jason Pawhees, Derek Mewlander, Mogzilla, the list goes on. Open-world game Cat Quest does the right thing and casts you as an angry but adorable moggy. Like a furry Dominic Toretto, you fight through monsters, above and below ground all in the name of family.

But instead of being a straight up dungeon crawl, it takes the Diablo 4-style approach of letting you roam free, ducking into dungeons to dish out some feline damage. You interact with a range of other moggy characters, including just the cutest little cat who has their hat pulled down over their eyes. Altogether now.. “Awwwww.”

Speaking of hats, you can dress your own moggy avatar up in a variety of outfits, tailing their loadout and equipping them with everything from chainmail to a wizard’s hat. And unlike Diablo, you don’t have to worry about an update nerfing your brave kitty’s abilities.
