About the Game

Embark on an exciting journey as a determined cat searching their memories to find their way home. Experience an incredible climb overcoming many challenges, having plenty of laughs, and perhaps meeting a cat or two along the way. Don't forget to bring your curiosity.

Pounce around with intuitive cat-like agility. Wall-run across impossible gaps, cling to precarious ledges, and save your falls by mantling sharp surfaces. Every action flows naturally as you ascend through beautifully hand-crafted levels that challenge your reflexes while celebrating your success.

Take control of your adventure with a convenient checkpoint system. Place cozy beds anywhere you choose - before a tricky jump, after a hard-won climb, or wherever feels right. Fall? No problem. Simply curl up and dream yourself back to your bed. With 9 lives to spend and more to discover at Lost Cats Cafés scattered throughout your journey, you create your difficulty.
