great puzzle designs, really interesting core mechanic and you kept building on it for a nice difficulty curve I think.

Really cool game!! I love the simplicity of the mechanics and how it interacts with the environment! The puzzles are very intuitive but the interactable environments wasnt obvious enough to me. I think the interactable objects blended too well with the environment that I didnt used it and thought the level was too hard but when I used the objects, I was able to go through quite intuitively.
Though there is a level that I accidently softlocked since when it resets, it left the eyeball inside and I wasn't able to grab it anymore.
The other thing to mention is the headbopping. Although its really cool, it gave me a bit of motion sickness, I wished there was a setting to turn it off!
I absolutely adore the environment! This gives me the feeling of those eerie horror puzzle game vibes waiting to jumpscare me. The narrative is sort of there in the environmental setting, but a bit more obvious context would have made it better I think! The audio is highly impactful though the "Unreal Engine compile error" sound effect made me think "Did I have Unreal Engine open?" xD
Oh another thing that I found is if there were more than 1 eyeball and I got killed by both of them sequentially, the screen would stay black and the only way to fix it is by pausing and resuming.
Other than those bugs and thoughts, the game was quite fun! The puzzles were enjoyable, environments are beautiful and fun gameplay! Great work guys!

look who's here! thanks so much for the detailed feedback
the bugs are quite unfortunate but it is what it is, glad you got far regardless
PS the unreal engine compile error is what makes it a horror game..
Thanks again!
Best cat puzzler I have so far ( ⓛ ω ⓛ *)
- Simple but clever concept with MANY well designed puzzles
- Cat and mice plushies and posters everywhere
- Walking leaves pawprints🐾 behind
And here's some bugs / unintended solutions I found:
- In level Purripheral, you can just walk straight to the exit without using the window switch at the left
- Two bombs exploding at the same time can cause the screen to stuck in transition
- The level reset is not handled correctly sometimes, and objects may spawn at the wrong positions
- As a result, it's possible to get softlocked in The Cat Below The Hat, where the eye can't be picked up
The vibe reminds me of Portal, and I believe it has potential to be a full game with some more polish!
