Technically, the game is already playable from start to finish. However, there is still a significant "polishing" stage ahead: refining visuals, animations, balance, and sound. Audio is crucial for a horror game, so I’m dedicating a lot of time to it. Moreover, my background as a sound designer allows me to place a special emphasis on this area.
If everything goes smoothly, I’m aiming for an October-November 2026 release. To be honest, the date might slip due to a number of potential hurdles. These include personal health, the quirks of my old PC, and the "fun stuff" going on with the internet here in Russia (where I’m based).
Despite all of this, I am fully determined to release the project this year. Thanks again to everyone who has wishlisted the game and is following the kitty’s journey!
