Finished! Took me just under six hours total.
The stealth sections were definitely the worst, specifically
the ones at the end of the prison section that require you to bait sentinels, and then the final chase. By far the most frustrating parts of the game. And I think the last act of the game felt comparatively undercooked compared to everything before it, as others have already mentioned; it almost feels like the devs were worried they were taking too long to get to the point and didn't want you to mess around too much once you leave the Slums.
Still, it worked really well for me; clearly a lot of thought was put into having the protagonist be a cat and what that would mean for how you interact with the world and the NPCs. There's a little bit of stretching you have to do to convince yourself that a cat would care about anything that's going on or really understand what everyone wanted you to do, but I'm just going to chalk that up to Lassie/
Littlest Hobo syndrome where animals magically understand exactly what's needed of them at any given moment.
Do you know if this also applies if you've finished the game? I didn't see any options to load your last save but maybe that's hidden under Start Game.
