Cats With Standards

Follow the Standards and Do as You’re Taught

Bow your head. Curl your tail. Smile when it hurts. You’ll follow rules so twisted they gnaw at your mind. Every choice is a gamble, every success a nail in the coffin of your soul.

Cats With Standards

A story-driven hidden object descent into madness. Non-stress gameplay which still claw through the sinister truth of a world that demands you to obey. The darker the rules, the darker the secrets and the more you’ll wonder if you ever belonged at all.

Hidden Object

Bones. Yes, bones. Find them to continue. They don’t belong to the cats, but they obey anyway. A society so warped, even their appetites aren’t their own. Each hidden fragment adds to the grotesque mosaic of your crumbling reality.

Psychological Horror

A dystopian nightmare dripping in fur and fangs. Find yourself laughing when you're supposed to cry. The original soundtrack gnaws at your mind, dragging you deeper into a world where the laughter feels wrong, and silence is worse.

Gameplay

A visual novel of fractured choices and splintered realities. Every decision shifts your fate, weaving a web of endings that tighten around you. Choose carefully—rebellion might hurt, but obedience will destroy you completely.
