About the Game

Gameplay: Gather as many items in the scene as possible and stay absolutely silent. When you can hear a monster's footsteps, any sound you make can also be heard by them. Return to base before darkness falls! Oh, right, I forgot to tell you—death means losing everything!! Survive by any means necessary!!! Let me break down the points you need to watch out for!

Shapeshift: Cat form is your primary form—it moves completely silently and can squeeze through pipes. Human form can open chests and push heavy objects. Note that the shapeshifting process cannot be canceled, so choose your timing carefully!

Shop: Sell your items here, and purchase various consumables.

Talents: Spend gold coins to upgrade your talents. Through talents, you can increase your gold gain, luck, backpack slots, and maximum energy. You can also unlock special perks, such as unlocking cat form, keeping your items upon death, allowing cats to push boxes, and making your shapeshifting sound completely inaudible to monsters!

Gathering: There are all kinds of items scattered throughout the scenes and inside chests, so remember to gather them!

Chests: Chests are divided into regular chests and golden chests. Golden chests are guaranteed to drop gear, while regular chests only have a chance of dropping gear!

Gear Storage: All gear comes with randomized stats. To make putting builds together easier, you can store them in your gear storage!

Build Ladders: To enter ventilation shafts, you'll need to build a makeshift ladder beforehand!

Enter Pipes: Once the ladder is built, enter the pipes! You can use the ventilation shafts to safely travel to different areas of the scene!! However, remember to check your surroundings first and listen for any monster sounds nearby.

Speed Boost Skill: If a monster spots you, you can use your speed boost skill to increase your movement speed. Do your best to break away from the monster's pursuit before the potion's duration runs out!

Shapeshift Skill: Your ultimate survival tool!! It can cause monsters to quickly lose sight of you, but be careful—
