Cats Away

After serving as apprentice sailors, three seafaring sisters and their faithful cat crewmates reunite at the port where their father's ship is docked. But when the father doesn't show and the ship is suddenly attacked, they embark on a perilous maritime journey involving pirate guilds, a mysterious cat-hating syndicate, ancient magic spells, giant mutated monsters and more! Help Kanna, Lilia and Alicia to navigate through dangerous waters, upgrade their ship's armaments, recruit a crew of skilled catmates and discover their father's biggest secret!

In Cats Away, players manage the crew and resources of a sailing ship on an exciting and dangerous exploratory voyage. Steer the ship during combat, maneuvering into more advantageous positions and giving orders on the fly to counter enemy tactics. Between battles, dock in faraway ports-of-call to upgrade weapons and equipment, meet new friends (and enemies), learn new skills and much more. Take on side missions to earn treasure, level-up the captain and the crew and open new routes to uncharted waters!
