About Cattails: Wildwood Story
Cattails: Wildwood Story lets you live as a cat in a cozy life‑sim RPG where you guide a fledgling colony into the mysterious Wildwood. Hunt prey, grow herbs, collect magical treasures, and defend the settlement from invading Voidling Cats while building homes and recruiting new feline residents.
The game offers deep visual customization through the Coat Studio, a den‑decorating system with over 180 furniture pieces, and a Buddy system that lets you adventure with an NPC companion. Adjustable accessibility options, full controller support, and an original soundtrack round out the single‑player experience.
01 / THE GUIDE
Hunting and Prey
Your cat uses an acute sense of smell to locate nearby prey, then carefully approaches and pounces through the air to catch the animal unaware. Successful hunts provide meals that can be saved for later adventures.
Hunting feeds your colony and supplies resources for other activities such as herb cultivation. Timing the approach and using the pounce mechanic are essential to catching prey without alerting it.
- Watch the prey’s movement before you pounce to improve success.
- Bring an extra item to give as a gift after a hunt to strengthen friendships.
02 / THE GUIDE
Herb Cultivation
Plants grow naturally in the wild, but the best‑quality herbs result from careful nurturing in a controlled environment. Sow several seeds at a time and tend the plot daily for a healthy harvest.
Harvested herbs can be kept for adventuring or sold for profit, giving a steady source of income and useful items for later adventures.
- Plant multiple seeds together to maximize yield.
- Check the plot each day to keep the herbs healthy.

Coat Studio Customization
The Coat Studio lets you update your cat’s appearance at any time, offering a wide variety of body types, colors, and accessories. Mix and match elements to create a truly unique player character.
Your customized look can be shared with other players, so you can create a look that is truly your own.
- Experiment with contrasting colors for a distinct silhouette.
- Save several designs so you can switch looks quickly.

Buddy System
You can bring an NPC friend on adventures; time spent together strengthens your bond, making the pair more effective. The companion gains Buddy XP and can level up, becoming stronger over time.
The Buddy system adds a cooperative feel to solo play, encouraging investment in relationships that enhance combat and exploration capabilities.
- Take your buddy on varied missions to earn XP faster.
- Offer gifts during downtime to boost bond growth.
05 / THE GUIDE
Dangerous Mines
Exploring hidden staircases leads you deeper into dangerous mines where valuable ores and precious gems await. The lower you go, the richer the resources, but challenges also increase.
Successful expeditions reward you with useful materials that can be useful materials for your adventures and your settlement’s improvements.
- Prepare with enough supplies before descending.
- Leave early if enemy difficulty spikes sharply.
