Craving More Video Games Featuring Adorable Cats? Here's Catmaze!

There are cats. There are mazes. Its Catmaze! Okay, so my love of cats is, at this point, practically self-satirizing, but I can't quite help myself when presented with a game like this. And kudos to Siliconera for bringing it to my attention.

Catmaze is a Metroidvania-type PC game which has some solid roots in Slavic lore. That gets me on both the cats and history squares of my personal "I will love this game no matter what" bingo card. And with the makings of a great story, well, I just could not help myself from getting a little excited.

The game's plot summary on Siliconera reads:

"With her mother taken to another world, Alesta sets out to find Cat Bayn, a feline with powerful connections between worlds. Alesta's sorcerous powers will help her in battle against the creatures of the woods, caves, and haunted mansions that lie between her and her lost mother. Many of these powers are tied to different animal familiars, with each of these cute creatures offering a variety of attacks for her to use. With jump kicks fueled by a cat's swipe, slashes connected to a crow's wing, a walking bomb tied to a strange little creature, and more, she'll have a suite of animal-based powers to help her through any fight."

And as many bosses, enemies, and even story elements draw from Slavic folklore, there's certainly a lot to like in Catmaze.

Catmaze is projected to release in Q1 of 2018. The latest trailer is below if you require more substance with your hype.
