What is Kittens Game?
Kittens Game is a long running incremental game created by developer bloodrizer. It begins with nothing but a button to gather catnip, and slowly turns into a deep strategy game about running a kitten civilisation.
You build fields and huts, attract kittens, assign them jobs, deal with the seasons, research science and expand into trade, religion and eventually space. It is famous for its depth and has a loyal community, playing out over days or weeks in a browser tab.
