Indie circle AquaEternity's horror game Cat's Hand Is a Saving Hand launches on Steam on July 31, 2026. Players chase their cat Shiro into a haunted mansion, avoiding or fighting ghosts. 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.
