Sound design plays a huge part of that, and it’s able to be lofi without low quality (the Banjo-Kazooie esque talking in cutscenes being a fun touch).
It’s the type of story you’d expect from a retro game, but it’s charming all the same. There are moments it gets somewhat dark, but nothing that causes dissonance. It adds an absurdity that wouldn’t exist with another animal. With only a couple chat portraits, they bring a delightful personality of just being a cat. This is helped by Kiki being an adorable protagonist. It’s not a story of full-on belly laughs, but it did cause some sensible chuckles.
It knows how silly the premise is, but the comedy never gets to the point of insufferability. Gato Roboto knows it isn’t telling a grand narrative, but it tells its story confidently.
