Strangers Here — an atmospheric VHS horror about the "Strangers": unsettling creatures that mimic humans with terrifying precision. In the quiet family park of Willingstone, something has gone horribly wrong. People are vanishing, animals are falling ill, and inhuman screams echo from the forest at night. The special agency D.I.C. has been tracking incidents like these for a long time. Now it's your turn — learn to tell the real from the imitation, and uncover the true nature of these beings.

About

Climbing Kitty

Read full description

A cat. Some platforms. All of human history to climb. It seemed straightforward enough. Climbing Kitty is a vertical platformer where you guide a fearless feline through 7 eras — from Prehistory to the Future. Jump, survive, rack up points, and try to explain to someone why you've spent 40 minutes helping a virtual cat reach the top. 6 CATS, ALL AVAILABLE Neon Rainbow, Unicorn, Classic, Midnight, Ninja, Robot. Each one has a personality. Some jump automatically. One has turbo thrusters. We don't ask questions. 7 ERAS TO SURVIVE Prehistory, Ancient Egypt, Middle Ages, Renaissance, Industrial Age, Modern, Future. Era-specific hazards await at every turn. History is unforgiving. So is gravity. 2 GAME MODES • Ascent: all eras in one run. Ambitious. • Ages: one era at a time. Sensible. 3 DIFFICULTY LEVELS Relaxed for the philosophers. Classic for the bold. Challenge for people who don't believe in rest. Simple to understand. Very hard to put down.
