Cat & Mouse

Cat & Mouse is an asymmetrical multiplayer game in which Cats hunt Mice, while Mice gather food and try to survive until time runs out. The game is multiplayer-only, with peer-to-peer play and no public dedicated servers. Single-player play is limited to a tutorial and level exploration mode.

Cats and Mice

Mice must collect as much food as they can before they starve or time runs out. Cats hunt them to win, and both sides need to outsmart and outmaneuver their opponents.

Cats are usually outnumbered, but they move quickly and maneuver well. They can hear moving Mice through walls, while a cone of light from their eyes and a loud warning sound show where they are looking. Sneaking turns off the light, enabling ambushes or concealment, but leaves a Cat mostly stationary.

Mice move at about half the speed of Cats, but their small size lets them hide under cups, climb walls, squeeze through cracks or under doors, and pass through narrow gaps in walls or under furniture. If cornered, they can use a last-resort Dash to reach high places or quickly dodge a Cat.

Outwit your opponents

The balance between the two sides can feel different as players learn their abilities. Mastering both Cats and Mice brings the focus to quick thinking, exploiting opponents’ disadvantages and using your own advantages. You may try to corner another player, bluff, or escape while hoping the way ahead is clear.
