Ever wondered what it’s like to be a cat… in the middle of the apocalypse? Cat in a Horror Game throws you into the fur of a fearless (and very hungry) feline on a mission to track down the last scraps of human food in a crumbling, monster-filled world.
You’ll dash through creepy, ever-changing landscapes, weaving past shadowy creatures and strange hazards. Sometimes, you’ll find a cozy bonfire to rest your paws—but the longer you run, the stranger things get. Stay out there too long, and you might not come back as the same cute cat you started as.
Jump Right In – It’s an online game. Click play, and you’re in—no installs, no loading screens, no fuss.
Run for Your Life (and Lunch) – Race through endless environments, collecting rare human snacks before something catches you.
Avoid the Scary Stuff – Monsters, traps, and weird glowing… things. If it looks dangerous, it probably is.
Rest or Risk It – Stop at bonfires to catch your breath—or keep running to chase bigger rewards.
Survive as Long as You Can – The further you go, the more intense (and unsettling) it gets.
