The Cat In Yellow starts off very simply: the player receives a mysterious package containing a cat in yellow. At first the tasks seem harmless enough, feeding the cat, playing with it, putting it to bed, exploring the newly renovated yellow house. But the longer you stay, the stranger the cat's behavior gets.

The Cat In Yellow begins with a peculiar cat

The fun thing about the game is how it makes everyday activities suspicious. The cat isn’t only a pet to be looked after, it’s watching the player, reacting in strange ways and slowly making you doubt its true nature.

As you explore the house this sense of unease grows. Locked doors, inaccessible areas and strange signs mean that the player has to pay close attention to every detail, not just the cat’s needs.

Explore the house and find clues

In The Cat In Yellow, moving around the house has purposes beyond simply caring for the cat. Players are able to interact with objects, open new areas and search for clues about the mysterious presence of the cat.

Caring for the cat while staying vigilant

Feeding, playing with or putting the cat to bed, these are all seemingly mundane activities but the game deliberately puts them in an increasingly disturbing atmosphere. One second the cat could be standing still in a familiar location, and the next it could act as if to make the player doubt everything around them.

When the house is no longer safe

The more you explore, the more you realize there are unexplained mysteries hidden within the house. The Cat In Yellow combines horror with odd circumstances, and a bit of black comedy. This is not a horror game revolving around monsters or endless jump scares.
