About the Game

Welcome to "Cats Ritual"

a captivating indie adventure where you must navigate a decaying city to gather 30 elusive cats and save an eccentric NPC from the clutches of ancient cat spirits. As you explore the hidden corners of this forsaken urban landscape—alleys, abandoned lots, and shadowy rooftops—you'll uncover the secrets behind the Eternal Tooth Ritual, a sacred dance that keeps the malevolent cat spirits at bay.

Key Features:

  • Exploration: Roam through diverse locations such as derelict buildings, shadowy alleys, and forgotten parks, each hiding its own mysteries and dangers.

  • Collection: Find and collect 30 unique cats, each with their own personality and story, essential for completing the ritual.

  • Puzzle-Solving: Overcome clever puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the cats, testing your wit and agility.

  • Character Interactions: Meet a variety of peculiar characters, from the agitated NPC to other city dwellers, who may aid or obstruct your quest.

  • Atmospheric Storytelling: Immerse yourself in a richly narrated world where every discovery reveals more about the city's past and the looming threat of the cat spirits.

"Cats Ritual" blends exploration, collection, and narrative depth into a unique gaming experience. With its whimsical yet thrilling tone, the game offers a journey into a city forgotten by time, where every meow could be your salvation—or your doom. Will you succeed in your quest and restore balance to the city, or will you fall victim to the eternal scratch of regret?
