Cat And Mouse - Games

In gaming, 'Cat and Mouse' refers to asymmetric gameplay where one player (the 'cat') pursues while another (the 'mouse') evades, often with distinct abilities. This dynamic creates tension and strategic depth, as seen in stealth-action titles or multiplayer modes. It symbolizes power imbalances and psychological warfare, encouraging players to adapt roles—aggressive hunter or cunning survivor. Design-wise, it emphasizes map awareness, resource management, and timing, fostering emergent narratives through player interaction rather than scripted events.
