CAT

CAT is a free horror-themed action-adventure game from Devan Games that the store lists as survival. The title character has returned to cause trouble again, and this time the description hints the mess will be your blood. It came out on the Meta Horizon Store on September 8, 2021.

How it plays

Your goal is to find six items and then step into a pentagram, which banishes Cat back into its box. The catch: Cat shows up as soon as you pick up the first item, and it gets faster with every item you collect after that. If it reaches you, the run is over.

That creates a simple rising tension curve. The early search is calm, but each new item makes the hunt more dangerous, so you have to balance speed with care as you look for the rest.

The store description is very short and written all in capitals. It does not say how big the map is, how long a run lasts or whether there are difficulty options. It is a single-player game.

Comfort

It supports sitting and standing play, using motion controllers. Chase sequences and jump-scare style tension may not suit everyone, so younger or sensitive players should try it with care.
