About Wish Upon a Cat  

In this short adventure, the protagonist finds themselves sucked into the Odencat multiverse and forced to track down the studio’s beloved mascot, whose inexplicable temper tantrum is threatening to cause a second Big Bang! The story unfolds from a mysterious apartment building where dimensional gateways to popular Odencat titles like Bear’s Restaurant, Snowman Story, Fishing Paradiso, and Meg’s Monster have opened up. Players will have to track down the Oden-loving cat through these intertwined realities in order to prevent a total interdimensional collapse.
   
Meet Familiar Characters from the Odencat Multiverse  

Players will gather clues and speak to a variety of unique characters to track down the eponymous cat’s hiding place. Featuring colorful locations, dynamic music, and charming dialogue written exclusively for this game, fans of Odencat’s previous games will love the chance to reunite with so many familiar faces.  

A Heartfelt Story That's Short and Sweet  

As with all Odencat titles, Wish Upon A Cat delivers the kind of emotionally resonant experience the studio is known for. More than just a celebratory release, it tells a bittersweet story that leaves a lasting impression long after the credits roll.

Streaming is allowed freely for both monetized and non-monetized content, regardless of whether it's by individuals or corporations. For more details, please refer to the official streaming guidelines on our website.
