Game creator's description:
"Will you make your way home or will you explore what the big city has to offer first? I mean, getting home is obviously your main priority. Obviously. Well, it's one of your priorities. Maybe more of a guideline... It's definitely on your To-Do list somewhere! But first? Exploration!"

"Little Kitty, Big City is a third-person adventure video game where the player controls a black, domestic cat that is lost within a large Japanese city. The player has to navigate the cat back to its home, but they can also interact with the city and do typical cat actions, such as catch birds, jump into boxes, steal food and play with their tail. The player can also communicate with other animals in the city and may dress up in various hats.
In an interview with KING-TV, Double Dagger Studio founder Matt Wood said that the main inspiration of Little Kitty, Big City was his cats Mario and Roxy and his children. On November 13, 2021, it was shown off at the indie Wholesome Games event during its Wholesome Snack showcase.
In a Indie World presentation on April 19, 2023, it was announced that Little Kitty, Big City would be releasing for the Nintendo Switch.
