I learned everything I need to know about Crimson Desert from one screenshot
Summary created by Smart Answers AI
In summary:
- Adam Patrick Murray of PCWorld found that Crimson Desert’s cat interaction feature became the game’s most compelling selling point from a single screenshot.
- Players can pick up and pet cats of various sizes, from big cats to kittens, earning a “trust +5” bonus from this engaging mechanic.
- This simple feature of holding a cat in the medieval game seems to overshadow other gameplay elements as the main appeal for potential players.
Before, I kept an eye on video games. These days I’m far from aware, and in the case of Crimson Desertextremely. That doesn’t matter, thanks to a Slack conversation I unexpectedly had with my colleague and colleague at The Full Nerd, Adam Patrick Murray. He explained the whole point of the game with a screenshot from this Kotaku link and this message: “I’m trying to see how well I can play the game while holding the cat“
Me: That’s a big fucking cat in that screenshot.
Adam: Yes, these cats are very big.
Me: Like bigger than a Maine Coon.
Adam: This game is all over the place in terms of proportions.
Adam: I found a kitten!
This kitten looks like my cat when he was a baby!

Me: Do they come in other colors.
Adam: Yes. And the sizes.
Adam: You pick them up and pet them to gain +5 confidence.
Sold.
(Don’t @ me, I’ll be too busy picking up kittens in any world and any place Crimson Desert is installed. I guess it’s medieval? Never mind.)
