Always with You is a puzzle adventure game from Snowyowl Studio, released on December 31, 2026, for PC. It tasks you with switching between a girl and her cat to solve environmental puzzles, uncover secrets of the Alto civilization, and confront guardians. The game blends platforming with logic challenges, using dual perspectives to unlock paths. Its whimsical art style and nostalgic tone stand out in the indie scene. Best suited for players who enjoy relaxed, brainy puzzles with a story-driven heart.
You alternate between a human girl and her feline companion to tackle puzzles that require unique abilities. The girl handles heavy objects and machinery while the cat can climb, jump farther, and trigger pressure plates. Sessions mix exploration and problem-solving, like aligning ancient mechanisms or outmaneuvering guardians that patrol specific zones. Controls are responsive, with seamless switching via a dedicated button. Later levels introduce cooperative mechanics where three cats work together, adding layers to puzzles. The game’s rhythm balances action with downtime, avoiding relentless difficulty spikes.
PlayPile users rate it 4.5/5, with 88% of critics calling it “a standout indie gem.” Completion rates are high at 92%, and average playthroughs last 8.5 hours. Community moods skew cozy, whimsical, and nostalgic. One player wrote, “The puzzle design feels like a warm hug, challenging but never frustrating.” Achievements total 120, with 100% requiring 20 extra hours. Criticisms are minor: some find late-game guardians repetitive. Positive reviews praise the art style and emotional core, while a few wish for more varied challenges.
Always with You is a solid pick for fans of thoughtful, low-stress puzzles. At $29.99, it offers good value given its replayability and hidden secrets. The 120 achievements add meaningful depth, but don’t gate progress. It’s not impressive, but its charm and clever dual-perspective mechanics make it memorable. Skip if you crave intense action or open-world exploration. Otherwise, it’s a worthwhile 10-hour journey with optional extras to stretch your time.
