Cat God Ranch is an indie simulation RPG where players manage a ranch, aiming to appease a Cat God. The core loop involves growing an animal herd, with over 100 animal types each possessing unique abilities. Players must pay weekly tribute to the Cat God to avoid ranch closure, utilizing strategic combinations from seven different animal families. Ranch development centers on combining terrain tiles and over 100 prop cards to optimize tribute generation.
The game allows for diverse ranch strategies, from predator-prey dynamics within animal families to large-scale propagation. Development involves acquiring and applying prop cards, with over 10 Cat Gods and numerous other interactive elements like toys and tiles contributing to a customizable "deck-building" approach to ranch management. Further gameplay is currently under development.
