❓What Are Encounters❓

🐱phish
A browser game made in HTML5

Encounters are quick & challenging scenarios where you must improvise your approach from scratch.

Each encounter revolves around a single, seemingly impossible naughty goal 😈 (which is revealed up front). But how do you get there? If it's even achievable (often, I'm not even sure), the most obvious strategies will not work. 

You only have one shot.

Getting blocked is permanent and restarting is disabled.

Because of that, every single message counts. You’ll need to get to know your target, build rapport, and find the right manipulation angle quickly.

Encounters are the distillation of the core format of 🐱phish. They are kind of like the "Roguelike Mode" while the regular missions represent the "Campaign Mode", with more elaborate set-ups and multi-step arcs.

There are three encounters so far:

Luka, 24. A patriotic Serbian hiker that prides himself on being a real man (and would be willing to prove it if pushed just right.)

Derek, 31. A recently divorced dad with a pent-up need that you could exploit.

Cris, 18. A young twink with dreams of being a popular streamer one day. Could he be convinced to do something dumb on camera for views? Like show his feet? 

...Many more coming soon.
