World of Cats

The pitch

The city is a dungeon. You are a cat with nine lives and a grudge

World of Cats is a multiplayer alley RPG. Five cities, one persistent map cut into yards, roofs and dumpsters — and every square of it is owned by a player gang until somebody takes it away.

You start at level 1 with bad ears and no gear. You run missions for the neighbourhood, loot the bins for crafting junk, and buy or find weapons: bottle-cap shuriken, fish-bone shivs, a trash-can lid you swing like a shield. Every level is a point in the tree; every death costs one of your nine lives.

Then the dogs show up. Twelve of them, one per district, and every one takes a five-cat party and a plan. Beat one and it drops the gear your build is missing. Then somebody's gang tries to take that district off you at 4 AM, and the whole thing starts again.

Questions

Quick answers

Is it pay to win?

No. The shop sells collars, scars, bandanas and yard paint. Every weapon and every stat comes out of a dog, a crate or a crafting bench.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in the browser on WebGL 2 — recent Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge. First load is about 40 MB, then it lives in the cache.

What happens when my nine lives run out?

That cat retires to the shelter and stays in your collection. You roll a new one at level 1 with half the old cat’s reputation and keep the gang’s territory.

Can I play solo?

Missions, gear and the whole level curve are solo-friendly. Dog bosses are not — those want five cats, and the matchmaker will find you four.

Is PvP always on?

Only in contested districts, and only at night. Your home yard is safe until your gang loses the war for it.

Who is making this?

A four-person studio that used to ship small arcade games. The consulting cat works for food and is credited first.
