Cat Quest III puts players in the role of a feline privateer looking for a wish-granting treasure known as the North Star. In that pursuit, they explore an oceanic archipelago known as the Purribean in real-time, contesting against other privateers, pirates, and deep-sea nasties. Players will shift between maritime and overworld exploration, traversing islands where dungeons hold equipment, spells, and power-ups. Notably, the game also features local co-op for two players to work together as privateering felines across the Purribean.
