About the Game

“The Lucky Stray Cat” is a hybrid Dungeon Crawler and Visual Novel, told through an urban horror narrative reminiscent of Junji Ito’s storytelling style.

The story follows Long, a penniless, unemployed writer barely surviving in a crumbling tenement. One rainy night, his life veers into the uncanny when he takes in a stray cat with an unnatural talent for drawing in money.

As Long’s fortune rapidly grows—bringing wealth, comfort, and a beautiful companion—an ominous truth begins to surface: every location where the cat "finds" money is inextricably linked to a grisly death.
