Cattails: Wildwood Story invites you to step into the fluffy paws of a cat and go on an exciting journey. You will lead your colony into the mysterious Wild Forest, where you will have to hunt for prey, collect herbs and find magical treasures. The main task is to protect the new home from possible intrusions and threats, contributing to the growth of a prosperous city, and it will be able to accept new feline residents.

Using your heightened sense of smell, you'll skillfully track down nearby prey, pouncing on it in the air to catch it off guard, and make sure there's food waiting for you in the grass. By seeking friendship, you are able to befriend, date, and even marry other cats in the colony, strengthening the bonds of your community. Cattails gives you the freedom to choose where to settle, allowing you to customize your city's surroundings: in a pine forest, on a sandy beach, among a flowering meadow, in a mysterious swamp, or even near a volcano.

As the city expands and attracts new residents, you will be faced with the problem of protecting yourself from the creepy void cats that threaten your settlement. Call on the brave cats of your colony for help and try to unravel the mystery hidden behind these sinister spirits. It is possible to care for and grow plants for a variety of purposes, including crafting adventure items or selling them for profit. You can also customize your cat's appearance using the clothing studio, choosing from a wide range of body types, colors and accessories, allowing you to create a unique character.
