Although cute, most players are really not happy with the mission and call it a “waste of money”.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure Players are unhappy with the $20 Exclusive Cat Content DLC, with many calling it “useless” and a “waste of money.”
Although the Life is Strange games have long moved past episodic releases and now only come as one big game (albeit one split into chapters), that doesn't mean they're completely without DLC and additional purchases. That was just made clear by Life is Strange: Double Exposure.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure is a surprisingly great Halloween game
Double Exposure is half cozy Christmas party, half nightmare.
Like almost every game these days, Double Exposure has a deluxe digital edition that not only gave players early access to the first two episodes of the game, but also included some pretty expensive DLC (Chloe). The first of these is a bunch of cosmetics for Max, while the second and more expensive is an exclusive $20 questline that makes Max get a cat.
Life is strange: Double Exposure's exclusive cat content called a 'waste of money'
The exclusive cat content (yes, that's what it's called) begins in Chapter 2 and sees Max meet a stray cat whose color and name he can choose. Next, tidy up Max's house, feed and pet the cat, then let it hang out in the Living timeline whenever Max is home.
While the cat is certainly cute and has some nice moments with Max, it seems that most players aren't that fussed about the DLC, with many fans calling it a “waste of money.” One such player is Redditor evanamyl, who shared on the Life is Strange subreddit that he regrets spending $80 on the Ultimate Edition for such a short and “throwaway” mission.
The comments below the thread agree with this sentiment, with fans calling out the lack of interactions with the cat, the vague language used to describe the quest, and the general lack of impact on the main story. Some fans weren't even aware of the choices that could be made in the quest, with some keeping the cat simply because they didn't know they could return it to its owner.
There are a lot of posts on the subreddit about the DLC as a whole, and they all seem pretty negative so far, especially considering the DLC costs $20 for a short quest and a few outfits. It's a far cry from some of the expansions Life is Strange has had in the past, and another tick against the welcome to Double Exposure.
