Cats are usually associated with cosy purrs, warm naps, and adorable internet memes. But in the world of upcoming survival horror, your local feline friend might just be the reason you don’t make it out alive!
Developers Deranged Games and publisher Zemore Indie Games have officially joined the Cat Awareness Feline Sale on Steam—a special event hosted by Devcats running from August 7 through August 17. To celebrate their participation, the team has unleashed a brand-new trailer created specifically for the event, offering a fresh, terrifying, and surprisingly hilarious look at their upcoming title, LAG KILLS.
What is LAG KILLS?
In LAG KILLS, you play as a desperate burglar who breaks into what was supposed to be an empty house to snag valuable loot. The catch? The homeowner is very much at home, extremely agitated, and out for blood.
Whether playing solo or teaming up in online co-op, you and your heist partner must stealthily explore the home, grab everything valuable you can carry, stay quiet, and find a way out before you’re caught.
Don’t Upset the Cat!
While evading a murderous homeowner who reacts to every creak and noise sounds stressful enough, LAG KILLS adds a purr-fectly chaotic twist: the house cat.
The feline resident acts as an unpredictable environmental hazard. If you don’t keep the cat fed or satisfied, it might just turn into a furry tattletale, drawing the killer right to your hiding spot!
The brand-new trailer teased some amusing features on the horizon, including the ability to steal the cat during your heist and dress it up in tiny hats so it can hang out in your main lobby.
Key Game Features:
- Break In & Loot: Search every nook and cranny for high-value items to maximise your payout.
- Stay Quiet: The homeowner’s keen sense of hearing means one wrong step or dropped item could cost you your life.
- Manage the Feline: Keep the cat happy—or risk getting snitched on mid-stealth.
- Solo or Co-Op Heists: Attempt to survive the night on your own or bring a friend along for shared panic.
- Replayability: Unpredictable enemy behaviour ensures that every burglary attempt can quickly go off the rails.
