Introducing: Neko Atsume VR – The Cat Collector’s Dream

Feline Frenzy A VR Game that's Clawing its Way to the Top, Making Me Paws-itively Consider Getting a Headset for the Ultimate Kitty Collection Experience

This VR game is becoming super popular, and now I’m thinking of getting a headset just to play the ultimate version of my fave mobile game.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that a VR game about collecting cats would be one of the most mind-blowing experiences of 2023! Seriously, I’m now regretting the fact that I don’t own a VR headset because Neko Atsume VR is calling my name.

You might know the developers, Hit-Point Co, from their mobile game Neko Atsume. Well, they’ve taken the cat-collecting concept and catapulted it into the virtual reality world. In the original game, your mission was to create a cozy hangout spot for lovable local cats, providing them with comfy lounges, entertaining toys, and delightful snacks throughout the day.

But here’s the twist: In Neko Atsume VR, the cats are now in your real-life home! Can you imagine the joy of having these virtual feline friends chilling with you in your own space? And there’s more! You can actually interact with them in ways you could only dream of before. That’s right, you can pet them, play with them, and yes, even pick them up! Cue the “aww”s and melt-worthy moments. Trust me, the amazing Twitter content that’s being created is pure gold.

I mean, it’s perfect for those who can’t have actual cats in their homes due to pesky allergies or landlord restrictions. It’s also great for those who want the joy of owning a pet without any of the real commitment. Because let’s face it, virtual kitties mean no furballs to clean up or scratched furniture to worry about. Heaven!

Speaking of VR, there have been many incredible VR experiences that I’ve missed out on simply because I don’t have a headset. Games like Psychonauts and the Rhombus of Ruin and the Kingdom Hearts VR Experience had me drooling from afar. But Neko Atsume VR takes the cake and has me seriously considering getting my hands on a VR headset. I guess nothing can beat the allure of collecting virtual cats, even when I have plenty of real-life feline pals to interact with.

And here’s a bonus nugget for all you dog lovers out there! Just a few months ago, I stumbled upon a game that’s practically a twin to Neko Atsume, but with a twist. Brace yourselves for Inu no Oyakume, a game where you get to create a home for stray dogs. These doggies are a bit more adventurous and loyal than their feline counterparts. They’re even ready to fight monsters on your behalf! Who’s a good boy? These dogs, that’s who.

Neko Atsume VR is available now and can be enjoyed with the Meta Quest and PS VR headsets. So, if you’re in desperate need of some adorably relaxing cat-collecting action, do yourself a favor and dive into the virtual world of Neko Atsume VR. Trust me, your inner cat lover will thank you!
