This game is absolutely amazing. Once you get used to the controls on the tree part, you can do pretty good at it. The ending has me sniffling because i am on my period and didn't look at the reviews for this game because I was just looking for good and free cat games and This is a good and free cat game I was not expecting the twist at the end and even played it a 2nd time to let it sink in.

Very cute looking game about a little furball who gets peer-pressured into finding a flower in the spooky woods. Along the way she learns to stand up for herself, and not let others push her around. [spoiler] She just learns it a bit too late [/spoiler] The game consists of some light exploring, some CLUNKY platforming, and a bunch of fetch quests. Besides the awkward jumping, the only issue I encountered was one of the lamps in the labyrinth didn't seem to work correctly, you had a limited time to get from one lamp to the next, which recharges your light, but it wasn't recharging, so I kept getting sent back to the start...after a few tries tho I guess it fixed itself and worked. I won in about 20min, and minor issues aside had a good time. I saw the plot twist coming a mile away tho [spoiler] was hoping it would be a "on the threshold, not over it" type of thing, but it wasn't :{ [/spoiler] Really nice job for a short student game!
Игра 'Scaredy Cat' – это очаровательный и жутковатый платформер, который определенно понравится любителям жанра и тем, кто ищет что-то необычное. Главный герой, трусливый котенок, отправляется в мрачное приключение, полное ловушек, пугающих существ и головоломок. Визуальный стиль игры невероятно привлекателен – темные, готические локации, выполненные в милой пиксельной графике, создают неповторимую атмосферу. Игра ловко балансирует между хоррором и трогательностью, заставляя сопереживать робкому котенку. Геймплей прост, но увлекателен. Прыжки, уклонения и использование окружения – основные механики, которые необходимо освоить, чтобы выжить. Разнообразие врагов и ловушек заставляет постоянно быть начеку и разрабатывать тактику. Небольшая сложность игры скорее плюс, чем минус – она стимулирует к прохождению и достижению цели. Scaredy Cat - это короткая, но запоминающаяся игра, которую можно порекомендовать как способ приятно провести время и получить дозу милого хоррора.
Get that crow some glasses Fun little game, enjoyed the maze and tree
I played this game with my son. I translated dialogues to him and he liked this short adventure however obviously he didn't understand sense of the ending. Also the part with jumping to the top of the tree was quite hard for him.
Extremely cheap twist, gameplay was mostly fun but the tree segment is really janky and awkward
A tragic tale about bullying. Runs fine on Steam Deck, though controller support seems to be partially broken (requires mapping WASD and F).
very good games surprise was shocking and emotional :3
