About

Me and (My) Cat's Castle is a platformer where you control a character navigating stages filled with obstacles and hidden rewards. Progress hinges on collecting onigiri to unlock special areas called Neko images. Each level requires timing and precision to reach these spots while avoiding hazards. The game blends straightforward jumping mechanics with light puzzle-solving as you piece together a vague narrative about a mysterious cat and a fractured journey. The game’s charm lies in its cryptic tone and escalating difficulty. Players are left to interpret the story behind the cat’s cryptic dialogue and the purpose of the protagonist’s relentless forward motion. While the true ending remains elusive for many, community forums suggest multiple paths and hidden secrets. With a runtime of around 3-5 hours, it’s a short but dense experience that leans into its quirky aesthetic and punishing platforming challenges.
