How does your game fit the theme?
You will repeat the same event through your 9 cat lives until you escape. (Or die definitively...) The idea is to fail and to analyze the behavior and the path of the monster to learn and be able to survive.

I did not read the description that closely at first... I'm not good with horror games so it was really rewarding to have gotten through this one. I love the art and the atmosphere, especially the sound design which is probably the most important in a horror genre. Very well executed!

Developer

Ah, I hope I didn't scared you too much...

Thanks for the review! I did my best for the sound design :D

Cool idea with the cat!
The gameplay feels tense — just as a good horror game should.
The visuals are pleasant, and the audio design works really well too.
Great job!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Thank you!

That was a great little demo. Cool concept, good atmosphere, good artwork, narrative emerges nicely, just roundly well executed. Well done and thanks :) 

Developer

I would have liked to have had more time to create more content to highlight the saying “Knowledge is a weapon” (the one that will enable you to survive). Thank you so much for the review :D

Short but really great game. This was very immersive. Gj

Developer

Thanks ! :D

So immersive, great ambiance, pretty simple and short yet cool puzzle. I liked how you relied on SFX to convey that monster has done something out of your view.
Especially loved the chonker's stroll animation and jokes around ineffective hideouts 🐱🤣
Extra points for doing everything yourself! A very solid submission!

Developer

I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much !

Good stuff! I like the cat and the silliness in general. I didn't like the munching sfx made my skin crawl! Great job on the game!

Developer

When I listened to the mix myself, I thought it was both the worst and the best sound I had ever made xD
Sorry for that ! And thx :D

Loved this idea! Loved the style, the puzzle element, the horror, and the humor ("I'm not really sure about this hiding spot"). Great work!

Developer

A friend asked me if it was a reference to the "convenient lamp" in undertale. But no x) I only thought "It only works in cartoon to hide behind a lamp, not here" xD

First time the monster appeared was a real jumpscare haha.

I went RIGHT next to the window on the first try... needless to say, it set my adrenaline for the rest of my playthrough. Great game, I love the take!
(Lost 4 lives total)

Ahah, I was thinking about this case during the development xD. Sorry for the mini heartattack!

This is the best game I've played so far! I just wish it was longer. I loved the sound design!

Developer

Wow, thank you so much! I feel that my nights of work were worth it! :D

I love the artwork, the animations of both characters are very nice to look at and the character dialogue each loop was helpful in figuring out what the game is about. I think the game is a solid response to the 'Loop' theme! 

However, it was difficult to tell if the hiding spots were helpful, most of the time I got caught and couldn't tell why. Maybe next time some kind of stealth indicator might be helpful to know if your hiding spot is effective?

The narrative was very concise and tidy, I enjoyed the game a lot after figuring out how to avoid the monster 

Great job!! 

Developer

Thank you for playing our game!

For the hiding spot, they only work if the monster wasn't chasing you before. I did this because the goal is memorize its path and never be seen by the monster :D
