A new adventure for Simon’s Cat

Five out of five cat lovers (and four out of five dog lovers) agree: Simon’s Cat is awesome. What began as an animated short about a hungry cat in 2008 has blossomed into a veritable kitty empire, spanning a hugely popular web series, several books and, naturally, games.

Now it’s curling up on Apple Arcade in Simon’s Cat - Story Time. This tile-matching puzzler stars Simon, his cat and his friendly (and not-so-friendly) neighbours as they restore their wilting gardens.

“It’s quite a wholesome game,” says Simon’s Cat creator Simon Tofield. “You’re bringing beauty back by repairing stuff that’s broken.” We chatted with Tofield to learn more about his famous feline’s latest adventure.
