Why it matters
A short-form horror game built around a limited-use helper mechanic, with a demo available ahead of a July 31 release.
When scared, they can summon ghost cats using a limited 'cat's hand' item, usable only three times per run. A demo is available now.
The game is designed for short runs of about 15 minutes, with a total playtime of 60 to 90 minutes. Three endings plus an extra are available. The player's cat, Shiro, leads them into a mansion that has become a different world, where ghosts attack. The 'cat's hand' item, received from ghost cats before entering, can be used to summon help but only three times per run, forcing players to decide when to use it.
