Game Overview
Kittens Game is a minimalist village simulation and incremental strategy game where you take control of a growing civilization of kittens. Start with only a handful of basic resources, then gradually expand your settlement by constructing buildings, assigning jobs, and developing a steady economy capable of supporting an increasingly advanced society.
Manage dozens of resources while researching new technologies, crafting valuable materials, trading with other civilizations, and keeping your population productive and happy. With more than 30 buildings, 50+ resources, and a huge number of upgrades and discoveries, the game constantly introduces new systems as your village grows from a simple settlement into a powerful civilization.
Designed around long-term progression, Kittens Game can be played actively or enjoyed as a semi-idle experience that continues to reward careful planning over time. Expand across the planet, uncover hidden mechanics, push your technological limits, and eventually take your kitten civilization beyond the stars on its journey toward complete world domination.

The game won't launch — what should I try?
Check that extraction completed and your PC meets the system requirements. Note any error message before choosing a fix. If it identifies a missing runtime, install the required DirectX components or Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable from Microsoft.
My antivirus is blocking the game — is it safe?
A warning needs to be investigated; the download source alone cannot confirm that a file is safe. Keep your security software enabled and review the detection details. Do not run or restore a flagged file unless you have verified that it is a false positive. If you are unsure, leave it quarantined.
