About the Game

Cat Leather Jackets is a linear visual novel and music game about being a teenager in a punk rock band.

Follow Priya and her bandmates Ian and Dave as they get together to write and rehearse songs, try to find gigs and ultimately an audience for their music – all the while trying to find independence and figuring out what they want to do with their lives.

The game features ten original tracks with gameplay segments, intertwining a kinetic novel style narrative with an indie comic book/ graphic novel aesthetic.

  • A Story Mode: get to know Priya, Ian and Dave and play CLJ's setlist at their first gig;

  • In Story Mode, win or lose in the Punk Mode. Just want to enjoy the story? Try the Default Mode.

  • Play any and all unlocked songs for the highest score in the Practice Mode;

  • Unlock all Steam Achievements;

  • And enjoy ten completely original punk, ska and alternative rock playable beatmaps.
