Overview

About this game


Explore side-scrolling levels filled with environmental puzzles. Purr to make plants bloom and machines crumble. Take your time. Experiment. Observe.

But when a boss appears, the rhythm changes. These battles demand timing, precision, and courage. Yet Princess doesn't fight. She heals. Purr doesn't destroy them - it frees them.

Every environment and character is meticulously hand-painted and brought to life with fluid animation - lush forests, glowing caverns, strange machines, and adorable creatures.

From moonlit forests to the depths of a hidden laboratory, each chapter holds new puzzles, new friends, and new questions. Why did the camel attack? Why does the spider never rest? The answers lie in the journey.

- Choose Kitten Mode for an easier adventure perfect for kids and casual players.

- Choose Cat Mode to test yourself, where boss encounters demand precision and patience.

No text. No dialogue. Only animation, music, and heartfelt emotion.

An original orchestral score, partially live-recorded, guides your journey with warmth and wonder.

Deep in a forgotten laboratory, life was reshaped against its will - animals twisted into machines, hearts buried under circuits.

But corruption is not the end. What was taken from nature can still be returned. Let Princess's purr heal them and set them free.
