The Game Awards brought unexpected attention to a mysterious cat-based open-world adventure, Catly, which left gamers stunned after its trailer was showcased at the event. The game’s unusual visuals and tone sparked heated debates online, with some fans speculating it could be an elaborate pro-NFT/Web3 project.
Catly’s official Steam page features AI-inspired descriptions, while the game’s development team has ties to blockchain gaming and a previous connection to a studio that worked on digital cat metaverses. Theories suggest Catly might not be a genuine game, but rather an attempt to promote NFTs or Web3 technologies.
The trailer received scathing criticism from gamers, with some calling it “AI slop” due to its soulless AI-esque sheen and ambiguous plotline. Even popular streamers, such as Ninja and Pokimane, were involved in promoting the game, which has raised concerns about authenticity and marketing tactics.
As fans continue to investigate Catly’s true nature, one thing is clear: the game’s sudden appearance at The Game Awards has left many scratching their heads, wondering what exactly this cat-based adventure entails.
