Buy Was it a Cat I Saw? PC key

Was it a Cat I Saw? is a platform challenge about a cat trying to climb to the top. You control the cat from its point of view, using its tail to swing through obstacles and uncover why it wants to climb.

Swing with the tail

Press the space bar to stretch the tail in the aimed direction and hang from the ceiling. Press it again to detach. While hanging, hold left or right to move slowly in that direction. Swinging too high can make the cat anxious and cause it to fall; larger swings let it glide farther.

Difficulty and abilities

The game has Hard and Hell difficulty levels, with no Normal option. Depending on the difficulty, the number of tail shots is limited and the cat's ability to withstand shocks differs. Q and W activate beginner-assistance skills that let you turn back time or teleport using portals. Completing the game without these skills brings a greater sense of accomplishment.

The climb

The journey includes various gimmicks and obstacles in a pixel-art world, accompanied by original music and sound effects. Progress is saved in real time, and you can compete with friends for records. The reason cats want to reach the top is revealed in the final ending.
