Really fun idea for a game! I'm blown away by how many different things there are for the player to do! I was able to get out of the map by super jumping on the table in the bedroom and getting on top of the wall, and it was a little weird trying to charge jump when not grounded. But other than that, I had a great time playing! Great stuff!

I really love those types of games. Gameplay is really cool!

Submitted

Hello, the gameplay is very interesting and the concept is really original. The theme is well respected, and on top of that, the game has a bit of a horror vibe (my favorite genre). The transparent cat with glowing eyes surprised me several times, not bad at all! 👍

Submitted

Really cool game. I love how fast the mouse moves and it was fun avoiding the cat and jumping around. I like the fact that you respawn at wherever you were before you last died, but I ended up having my save point be in the abyss area and I wasn't able to get back out from my respawn point. Great work overall, I had fun playing!

I liked the visual design of the cat with its spooky glowing red eyes! Actual gameplay was neat, but doesnt stray too far from typical horror collect-a-thon

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing, it was great to see your playthru. You noticed subtle details that I thought would go unnoticed. FYI, The fact that was more than one cat is totally a bug. It happened once before but I thought we fixed it :P
AND By the way, you had an epic win, you accidentally fell into the abyss and landed on a MOVING platform, that then brought you to the finish line. Amazing stroke of rat-luck!  Thanks again :) P.S: traps are not instant kill if you know how to work them ;)

Submitted

The game was really amazing, the cat often gets stuck tho, and is easy to outrun but it still scared me sometimes xd

Submitted

The game is really awesome, I liked not getting caught by the cat XD

Submitted

I love the look of this despite dying a lot. Good job! 

Developer

I guess that's just the life and death of a rat in the home of a cannibal serial killer who has a cat who came from the depths of hell. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for playing!

what is this cat's problem man

I JUST WANT MY CHEEEEEESE

Developer(+1)

Yes the cat seems to hate everyone unfortunately. Especially if you try to steal his human's cheese.

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Great game i it was very enjoyable and i died abit but i think the only thing you could have done better is what was the goal? yaknow cuz i was lost for like 10 min dying to a cat but other wise great game never new me being a rat could be scary :D

Developer

Thanks Bomberflash! Good point and unfortunately we ran put of time to include the opening scene that would have made the goal more clear. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

I jumped off the pillow out of the room and died XD! Very nice game, although I could only get 3 clues :(

Developer

Thanks Kisame712, beware of the evil pillows!

Developer

only 3? You're so close! Farther than others :) Great job, pillow death, that's a new one :D

Submitted

Hi there! I love the concept. However I think I might have a problem remembering the clue. When I press E on them it doesn't do anything. I'm hoping you could guide me a little so that I could finish it <3

Developer

Hi zuniverse and firstly thanks for playing!

When you go to the keypad, all of the clues you have 'remembered' will be shown on the screen, above the 'enter code' text

I look forward to hearing how you get on! 

Submitted

Like the cats! Very nice game and all the random stuff scattered along the floor is a neat little addition too :D

Developer

Thank you for playing! I hope to fill the scene with even more random stuff and possibly even more unpredictable outcomes...Our whole team has cats so it felt fitting. >^ovo^<

Submitted

I am always so bad at horrors cause anxiety gets the worst of me lol. The jump is a bit silly but otherwise the game is great. Gets my blood pumping. 

Developer

It can be a bit scary when you're getting chased. Thanks for being brave, really appreciate the comment. It felt like it's too hard if we nerfed the jumps!

Made it through the first door but that platforming gets tough after.

Great game, gonna go back and try to finish it later!

Developer(+1)

Woah! Seems like not people are able to make it there, good job! Let us know if you manage, maybe it's too hard...Thanks for playing and the feedback :)

Submitted

Sound design was great!

Its very confusing tho, so 99% of the time I did not know what to do... I got the cheese tho xD

Developer

Cheese keeps you alive! Thanks for the insight, we will add some tutorial or prompts to guide the player in the future. You need to get past the door.

Submitted(+1)

I did not think being a rat is that unsetting :D it was a fun experience tho and the sound was making me really nervous aswell :D Very nice contribution!

Developer

I'm sorry to say I am glad you felt nervous and that it was unsettling! Haha, that's what we were going for, thank you so much for playing :3

Submitted(+1)

This game is so cool - a bit too dark (to see) in some places though. Other than that, loved being a rat

Developer

Thanks! Did you have difficulty seeing when you used night vision as well?

Developer

Even I didn't learn to use the nightvision right away :3 Thank you for playing, I like being the rat but next time maybe I can be the cat...
