    Step into the Multiverse with Wish Upon a Cat

    If you are a fan of cosy, story-rich pixel adventures, Wish Upon a Cat needs to be your next download. Designed as a special anniversary title, this crossover adventure takes players on a journey through the storied history of Odencat’s game universe.

    The Premise: After an argument with your best friend on her birthday, you find yourself unexpectedly pulled through your computer screen into an alternate dimension. The culprit? A rogue cat with a bad attitude is hopping between realities and throwing dimensions out of whack. Guided by a snarky mouse, you set off across multiple worlds to catch the feisty feline, fix the multiverse, and find a way back home.

    Why You Should Play:

    • A Tour Through Odencat History: Expect appearances from familiar faces and settings featured in popular Odencat hits like Bear’s Restaurant, Meg’s Monster, and Fishing Paradiso.
    • Heartwarming Storytelling: True to the developer’s signature style, the game balances quirky humour, emotional warmth, and reflection.
    • 100% Free to Play: Wish Upon a Cat is completely free to download and play right now on iOS and Android.

    Mousebusters Makes a Comeback on the North American Nintendo eShop

    The good news doesn’t stop with mobile devices! Odencat’s beloved point-and-click ghost-hunting adventure, Mousebusters, is officially back on the North American Nintendo eShop.

    After briefly taking a backseat, the game has returned with an updated ESRB rating of T for Teen (attributing Fantasy Violence, Mild Blood, and Mild Language).

    In Mousebusters, you play as a human who has been transformed into a mouse. Working under the dry-witted “Chief,” you must clear a haunted apartment building of ghosts. However, these aren’t your typical monsters—the ghosts are physical manifestations of the residents’ inner turmoil, insecurities, and hidden grief. Combining quirky pest control with deeply human storytelling, Mousebusters delivers an unforgettable adventure on Nintendo Switch.

    How to Get Playing

    • Wish Upon a Cat: Available now to download for free on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
    • Mousebusters: Available now for purchase on the North American Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch.

    Whether you’re hopping through dimensions with a mischievous feline on your smartphone or busting apartment ghosts on your Switch, Odencat has delivered the ultimate feast for cosy gaming fans this week!
