Stargazers Studios is giving away its horror game Cat Named Mojave for free on the Epic Games Store until August 15 at 12:00. The first-person, low-polygon title has a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam. Players stranded in a desert deal with a mentally unstable cat man who asks them to hunt animal-humanoids.
Stargazers Studios began the free distribution of Cat Named Mojave on the Epic Games Store on August 9. The giveaway runs until August 15 at 12:00, and anyone who adds the game to their library keeps it after the period ends. The game supports Japanese display.
In the game, the player's car battery dies in a desert, and a bipedal cat man named Mojave offers a spare battery in exchange for hunting creatures for his taxidermy collection. Those creatures turn out to be animal-humanoids who can talk, and the player kills, dismembers, and stuffs them. The game has no jump scares; its horror comes from the numbing grotesqueness of the acts.
Cat Named Mojave released for PC on December 8, 2025, with a PS5 version overseas in May 2026. On Steam, about 95% of roughly 300 reviews are positive. This is Stargazers Studios' first title, and the studio is based in New Jersey, USA.
