Pusheen’s playful personality has made her a favorite with fans around the world. This collaboration with Toca Boca brings her unique style into a new interactive format, giving players the freedom to incorporate her into their own stories.
Drawing on meme culture and the idea of romanticizing the everyday, the content “No Plots, Just Vibes” is centered around simple, relatable moments like spending time with pets or relaxing at home, themes that resonate with both Toca Boca and Pusheen’s audiences.

Oversized, layered, comfy, fluffy and fun!
