Storyline
You are a stray cat seeking shelter from a heavy storm. You sneak into an apartment at night through an open window, but in the morning, the window is closed — and now you're trapped inside. Find your way out before you're made a meager house cat and the ridicule of the neighborhood. To escape, you'll need to cause chaos by knocking over objects, scratching furniture, and exploring the apartment. The more mess you make, the more points you earn. These points unlock access to new rooms (e.g. living room, kitchen, bathroom) and ultimately, the front door.
But be careful…
- The human starts patrolling the apartment. If they catch you, it’s all over — you’ll be adopted, losing your freedom forever.
- Worse still, there’s a dog in the apartment too. Unlike the human, the dog is fast and unpredictable, adding an extra layer of tension.
You’ll have to hide, sneak, and dash your way through this chaos-filled apartment if you want to escape back to your wild life.
