Purrrification

An innocent-looking platformer. Jump, collect, progress. But something feels off. Levels shift, sounds distort, the screen... reacts. This is more than just a game. How far are you willing to go?

About the Game

1987, American suburbs.

A typical small town. Houses, schools, stores… everything in place. But the people? Gone. No signs, no clues. Just silence.

In one untouched home, someone finds a TV still on. Next to it, an old Japanese console and a black cat lying motionless, watching. The cartridge inside has no label — just a name scratched in by hand: Purrrification.

A few weeks later, we receive that same cartridge by mail. No return address.

As we dig into the code, we realize something’s off.

Too old to be new. Too new to be from the '80s.

And then… that music. Those glitches. That feeling.

Someone made this game.

Someone else made sure we played it.

An innocent-looking platformer. Jump, collect, progress. But something feels off. Levels shift, sounds distort, the screen... reacts. This is more than just a game. How far are you willing to go?
