Team Memolink's horror adventure Meowmories, where players are a cat navigating a nightmare world, releases August 20 on PC via Steam. The game features three multi-ending routes, a scan ability, and optional microphone meowing to stop monsters. A launch trailer accompanied the announcement.
The two-person indie team Team Memolink announced Meowmories will launch on Steam on August 20 at 22:00 JST. The game puts players in the role of a cat separated from its owner, exploring a nightmare world filled with grotesque monsters.
Players hide, flee, and observe monsters to learn their movements and escape routes, with trial-and-error as a core loop. The cat can use a scan ability to locate nearby enemies and items, but scanning also reveals the cat's position to monsters. Alternatively, players can meow 'nya' into the microphone to temporarily stop approaching monsters, though the game is fully playable with button controls.
Meowmories includes three multi-ending routes, with conclusions changing based on finding memory items. Three difficulty levels are available: KITTEN, CAT, and MEOWMARE, adjustable at any time. The Steam page notes that while cats can be attacked and disappear into smoke, there are no depictions of blood, wounds, or painful cries.
