The Purring Quest is a game by cat lovers, for cat lovers. Valhalla Cats, the Spanish studio behind the game, proudly state on their website that each member of the team has at least one cat. However, the game's tag-line "have you ever wanted to be a cat?" is not entirely apt. The Purring Quest is not a sim game, nor does it offer the multitude of interactions found in the PS2 adventure game Dog's Life, with its similar tag line: "It's great being a dog." Rather, It's a somewhat old-school platformer, with increasingly difficult stages ending in a boss fight or similar encounter.
