If you love old school text adventures and/or games that focus on acquiring resources, like Civilization or Minecraft’s ‘Survival’ mode, you might just like Kittens Game. The browser-based game, which starts off as just a series of buttons you can click, and some text prompts, is an incremental/idle simulation set in a village of kittens. It was created by a Russian who goes by the name Bloodrizer. The scene is set with a single sentence – “You are a kitten in a catnip forest.” – but things get rapidly more complex as you acquire resources and unlock new technologies. There’s an extensive…
