Cat, Dog, Bird? Is a life simulator game in which the player acts out the life of a cat, a dog or a bird. The player can choose which animal they would like to play as at the beginning of the game and will get to customise the look of their animal before they begin playing and will get to decide whether they wish to be the pet of someone or a stray roaming the city.

Once the game begins the player has free reign as to what the wish to do: they may explore the city, be a nuisance, hunt for food or play with other animals and humans.

All of the interactions between the player and the environment serve to influence their mood gauge which consists of hunger, happiness and bladder control. It is completely up to the player how they keep these meters filled or if they even wish to.

Players will have a life expectancy which is a pre-set amount of time played as the animal.

There will be a list of interactions available to the player depending on the animal chosen and will provoke reactions from the animals and humans around them: for example, a cat may decide they wish to relieve themselves indoors instead of out and provoke a disgusted reaction from humans.

There is also a food chain of sorts: dogs will chase cats and cats will chase birds, however, friendships can be formed between species and 'hang out' together if they wish.

There will also be a multiplayer aspect where friends can roam the same instance of the city together and interact with the game world together.

Each animal has their own strengths and weaknesses: the bird can fly but is extremely weak and prone to being a bit of a troll, the cat is extremely nimble and quick but finds it hard to make friends and the dog is very resilient and quick to make friends but very slow in comparison to the cat and bird.
