About the Game

BY NIGHT: FAST-PACED NINJA

Run through dynamic, handcrafted levels that change each time you play. Slice through enemies, dodge traps, collect coins and resources, and stay one step ahead of an ever-pressing danger.

Modify each run to your liking: boost the challenge, or make your runs more forgiving. Every attempt feels fresh, and every victory pushes your progress forward.

BY DAY: CHAOTIC CAT CHEF

When morning comes, the mask comes off, and the apron goes on. Cook dishes, serve unpredictable guests, play mini-games, and deal with all kinds of personalities coming through your door.

Your Izakaya can be upgraded and expanded over time: new tools, decorations, cooking stations, and systems unlock as your business grows. Reputation matters too: serve guests well to earn high ratings or push their patience until everything erupts in chaos.

CHALLENGE YOURSELF IN TIME TRIALS

For players who care about every fraction of a second, Time Trial levels are all about clean movement and perfect routes - get to the finish line as quickly as possible. 

Each level features multiple performance tiers and hidden shortcuts that reward experimentation and mastery.

CUSTOMIZE, UPGRADE, AND EXPRESS YOUR STYLE

Between shifts and runs, you’ll unlock a wide range of cosmetics and upgrades:

  • Different katana and glove styles

  • Restaurant upgrades and décor

  • Tools, cooking stations, and cosmetic props

  • Progression rewards tied to performance and reputation

TWO LIVES. ONE ADVENTURE.

Grow your restaurant, sharpen your skills, and uncover how far a ginger cat can go when the world asks it to be both a quiet hero and an overworked chef.
