Catadel, developed by Bad Optics Games, is a cute town-building game in early development with cats, for cats, by cats. Wait. In-game, not in real-life. Manage your cat citizens’ wants, needs, and quirky personalities as you help them build a settlement in the wilderness. For more information about the basics of the game, check out my previous article here. Catadel is still set to release sometime in 2020 for PC and Mac, and giving us regular updates such as the new traits and moods feature!
Cat Traits
The developers are almost done working on 35 personality traits for your kitty characters that will affect a variety of things from mood and interaction, to preferences in sleeping location. Here are some examples:
- Optimistic cats have a permanent mood boost.
- Sleepy cats will get sleepy more often.
- Tree cats don’t like sleeping on the first floor of houses.
You’ll be able to select your own traits in the cat customizer for personalized cats.
Cat Moods
Cat moods affect whether they will listen to you or not. You’ll now see their mood on their info bar. Moods are affected through buffs and debuffs, so you can look at a cat’s buff bar to see what’s causing their mood changes. Cats will work faster when in a good mood and will work slower (and even become uncontrollable!) when in lower moods.
Another newly implement contributor to cat moods is their level of dirtiness! Cats will get dirty as they perform work. There’s now an action for each cat to groom itself clean. But beware of hairballs! How adorably cat-aware is this!

Catadel is a colony management sim game where everyone is cats.
Have you ever wanted to have your very own town full of unique and adorable kitty cats? Well, Bad Optics Games is giving us a chance to do just that. They are a small game dev studio founded in April this year that is currently working on Catadel. Catadel is currently in early alpha, and is expecting a release date of Fall of 2020 on PC and Mac.
What is Catadel?
Catadel is a game about creating and growing a wonderful and productive town full of whimsical kitties. Each individual cat will have their own personality, desires, needs and general state of being. The well being of your towns inhabitants is of the utmost importance, so it is paramount that you fully engage with your community.
Seeing as how one of the devs was an engineer for the The Sims, there even be an especially intuitive interaction system in the game, to help keep all your cat neighbors happy.
How you handle the healthfulness of your commonwealth will show in whether your population grows or shrinks. If your cat-habitants aren’t happy, they aren’t likely to stick around. Everything will come into play here, including food, sleep, work and relaxation. Be sure to balance wisely so that you may have a purrfect place to call home.
