Kettle Street’s Missing Abra event sends players after a cat

Kettle Street’s Missing Abra event starts Nov. 12. Players must search their own versions of Kettleby for Claire’s missing calico cat and use the game’s new camera to photograph it.

Abra appears in a different location in each player’s town. Players therefore cannot use shared directions or fixed online guides to find her. The cat has patchy fur rather than stripes.

The event is part of the regular content updates for Kettle Street, a life simulation game from Manchester-based AssurePath Games. The game launched on Android in October and arrived on iOS about a week later. The studio has added new content to the town most weeks since launch.

The next major update, The Business Expansion, remains in development. Its first-look trailer shows players renting a market stall through a letting agent, progressing to a shop on the High Street and running the business from behind the counter.

Kettle Street is free to play for the first week in town. It then costs £4.99 in the UK as a one-time purchase. The game has no advertisements or subscriptions.
