About Rest in Paws
Rest in Paws is a story-driven platformer where you follow Kebab, a cat grappling with the loss of her owner. Made by Kebab Project and released March 31 2026, it blends light puzzle-solving with exploration on PC. The game traces her life through adoption, family memories, and final days. It’s a quiet, introspective experience focused on emotional beats rather than action. The vibe is calm but bittersweet, with environments reflecting her changing perspective. Best for players who prefer narrative over mechanics.
Gameplay
You guide Kebab through small, interconnected scenes. Each level is a memory triggered by objects like a sunlit window or a half-finished toy. Controls are basic: jump, climb, interact. Puzzle elements involve rearranging items to reveal hidden memories. No combat or time pressure. Sessions last 20-40 minutes, with frequent pauses to process dialogue and visuals. The camera often lingers on quiet moments, like watching rain or napping in a sunbeam. Progression feels organic, shaped by emotional resonance over challenge.
What Players Think
Critic score is 87% and community rating 4.2/5. Average playtime is 4.8 hours, with 63% completing the game. Moods reported: nostalgic (78%), calm (65%), melancholic (52%). One review called it “a quiet, meditative journey that lingers.” Others praised “the way grief feels tactile here.” Achievement completion at 92% (12 total, 200 points). Some found the pacing slow, but most agreed the emotional payoff justifies it. Price is $19.99.
PlayPile's Take
Rest in Paws works best for those seeking a soft, narrative-driven game. The $20 price is fair for a short, emotionally dense experience. Achievements are simple but reward exploration. Not a must-play for platformer fans, but impactful for players who enjoy stories about memory and loss. It’s a brief but affecting trip through a cat’s life. Worth your time if you’re in the mood for something gentle and introspective.
