Press release (Embargo till 24 September, 11:00, GMT-4, Toronto)
Catch the Void announces The Whisker Watch — a co-op roguelike about cats, chaos, and a cozy mansion.
The Whisker Watch is a co-op roguelike about two cats whose job is to protect their Human from Chthonic: only they can see the other world while the human is in oblivion. Fight evil spirits at night, sleep, recover, and develop the mansion during the day. Each run reshuffles the rooms, traps, and secrets, and you improve and decorate the house, reducing the level of Chaos happening in it.
The game is created primarily for co-op (online and local), but is completely playable alone. Mischief can and should be done — both in battle and at the base: strategic vomit, tactical "gifts", well-timed spat-out hairballs — all this is a weapon at night and a reason for your human to be happy during the day. Synchronize with your partner: hook up in a "catball" and roll through crowds of enemies; combine "junkits" - one puts up a shield barrier, the other charges it with electricity.
Customize cats with skins and accessories, communicate with NPCs and go through a warm story, revealing the secrets of the mansion or just have fun.
