Lilith Games announced WonderPaws on September 25, an urban life simulation developed by its subsidiary studio Cat Paw Latte. The free-to-play online multiplayer title is planned for PC via Steam, iOS, and Android, with release timing undecided. Pre-registration is open on the official website, and play tests are planned. Set in a metropolis built by animals, the game casts players as a human resident who shares a room with animal companions. Roommate candidates shown include a Golden Retriever that reports good news by wagging its tail, a black cat, and a frog that relaxes on the sofa after work. In the city, players can form an idol group, serve as honorary mayor, or work as an interior designer. A mysterious drink lets the player transform into a small animal with ears and a tail, changing how the city can be experienced.
Cat Paw Latte is listed as the developer, with Lilith Games publishing under a name familiar from Rise of Kingdoms and the AFK series.
The city runs on animal-scale design: giraffes drive large cars to shopping malls, hamsters commute through dedicated transparent tubes, billboards advertise rabbit hair-growth tonic, and a fox idol group plays at night. Interior work includes high-ceilinged living rooms tall enough for a giraffe to stand without bending its neck, and the honorary mayor listens to residents including polar bears and hamsters. One roommate candidate is a black cat that says "It's not like I was waiting for you" while leaving the light on.
According to Automaton, animal form opens activities like fluffing up fur at a large brushing machine on the street corner, jumping into a sandbox to roll around, and watching the night parade from a different vantage point. Players can also wait for food at a human friend's house or be petted.
