Don't Give Up the Cat

Tonight, you are out in the woods. As a cat.

A short game intended to be played at night, usingh eadphones. In this first-person game you use your mouse to look around and scratch things, and WASD keys for walking, shift to run, and you use Esc to show the menu.

After you run you may sit around to breathe a bit and listen to the forest. Don't forget to explore around. But you may not be alone...

This game was made for the MAGS theme "Ghost" and GitHub Gameoff 2022 theme "cliche". MAGS is the Monthly AGS, a jam a month on the Adventure Game Studio Forums. GitHub Gameoff provided a list of cliches where "give up the ghost" was picked as a starting point.
