As a demon living your life in hell, you come to learn about the existence of wonderful feline companions. Since there are no cats in hell, you must summon one yourself! Prepare your summoning circle by collecting ingredients around your cabin. If you place all three ingredients in the right places, you may just find yourself with a loveable furry friend. :cat2:

Here is our game! Unfortunately, we couldn't get everything done that we would have hoped because one of us got severely sick and couldn't participate for the full duration. Regardless, we are incredibly proud and happy with how it turned out. We hope you enjoy it! :hearts:

Edit 1: We used Unreal Engine 5.3 to make our game, and it doesn't look like there is an easy way to support playing in a browser but we'll try to do so if we can!

Edit 2: So browser play is a no go but we are now on itch.io!!!

Nice style, but it is too short. Still, good job!

I love the look and feel of this game! Very dark and creepy vibe until you start looking around and realising what you are collecting to summon the beast xD. Probs to your sound

I loved the lighting and the idea of summoning but in a not ''negative'' way! Would have liked a little challenge to get the ingredients but loved that many distracting objects were placed around

Another cat game? This is like hitting the jackpot in a cat-themed slot machine – it's a full-on feline feast! Yay! I'm a total cat person, and I'm loving this!

I love the idea that summoning a demon cat :cat2: . The scene is rich in details which adds to the mood.

I feel sorry to hear that one of you got sick. Hope you get well soon!

Super cute concept, loved the atmosphere and humour (chuckled at 'Book the 3rd'). Very short but controlled well and an enjoyable experience, well done.

Thank you all so much for the feedback. This is my first game jam ever, and I'm so thankful for all the positive responses!
Also like to update that my teammate is feeling better! I've been sure to let them know all the well-wishes

Between the lighting and the music, the tone was nice and creepy. Too bad you had to cut it short. I want to know what's on the other side of the other portals. More demon kitties.
