About this game

In this dark and atmospheric 3D Platformer, you control a humble cat in the realm after death. Meet strange and ominous characters throughout your journey as you jump, glide, run, and hop to the top of the mysterious tower that calls to you.

Gameplay

Platform your way to the top of the mysterious tower! You have an assortment of jumps at your disposal to traverse your way up, including a double jump, backflip,  and dash jump. As you climb the tower, you will gain the power to transform into other animals with their own unique movements to utilize for moving quicker and farther.

Pick up collectibles along the way! Throughout your adventure, you will spy various tokens that will be beneficial to you. They will allow you to buy fun hats, skip difficult sections, and more.

Key Features

  • Lots of neat hats!

  • Expressive voice-acting for over 2000 words of dialogue!

  • Optional checkpoints so falling isn't so bad!

  • Atmospheric, but no jump scares. Death is scary enough as is!

  • Did I mention hats? There's a witch hat and blue backpack you can wear too!
