About the Game

Backstory

Cereus begins life as a bacterium aboard the International Space Station, where a failed experiment triggers a rapid mutation. Ejected towards Earth, Cereus crashes into a suburban home and fuses with a cereal box.

Control

Take control of your newfound cereal-box body. Roll, jump, slide, and traverse everything from the lowest floors to the highest cupboards. Carefully manage your energy as you explore—you never know when you'll need that extra burst to escape.

Disrupt

Complete objectives that throw the household into chaos. Outsmart curious pets, sabotage everyday routines, and overcome hazardous obstacles.

Survive

Stay alive by any means necessary. Blend into the environment, lure enemies away, and frame innocent pets for the chaos you create. Feed, adapt, and prepare to outgrow your now-serious cereal box.

Evolve

Take over a new food item in each level, each with its own unique abilities and quirky weaknesses. Master every mutation as you navigate the house, bringing yourself one step closer to world domination.
