Cats are one of the most popular animals in the world, and it's a challenge to find a person who doesn't love these creatures.

However, it doesn't end with Stray. There are also cat games about rescuing your sister's cat, searching for the owner in space, returning to your hometown in an attempt to find yourself, and even the cult Skyrim is related to cats. The gg editorial team has found 7 such games (though we couldn't do without mentioning Stray) and will tell you more about them so that you know exactly what to play if you adore cats and everything related to them.

We are used to the idea that a huge team of professionals is needed to create a successful game that will bring in millions of dollars. However, it can be enough to triumph with just one person who went to make a seemingly simple game. For example, everyone knows the story of Tetris. Although it did not bring Alexey Pazhitnov a million dollars (there were other times and there is a separate film about it), there are examples when a lone developer created a game that earned a million dollars (and even more). The gg editorial team found 7 such games that were actually created by one person alone and managed to get a sum with six zeros in the "money earned" column. Of course, this doesn't mean that the author of the game woke up one day as a millionaire and the entire sum belongs to him or her, but you'll agree that this is a result that will satisfy any indie developer who worked on a game in a one-person team.

But in reality, it seems to simply integrate an uploaded face photo onto a selected template with beachwear (in the case of women, even with bare breasts).
