Six Cats Under

Six Cats Under is a point-and-click puzzle game developed by Team Bean Loop and Mosu, set in an apartment where a grandmother has just passed away. Players take on the role of her ghost, who cannot rest until her six cats are safely rescued. Using poltergeist powers, players interact with the environment to guide the cats through various rooms. The game features pixel art visuals that create a cozy yet bittersweet atmosphere, with a narrative that mixes humor and emotional depth, exploring themes of love and responsibility. Developed by Miles Äijälä, Robin Swift, Tomas Beržinskas, and Alex Martin, it was originally made for a game jam and is now released on multiple platforms. Players experience a short but touching story, solving puzzles to progress and ultimately bring peace to the grandmother's soul.

The core gameplay of Six Cats Under revolves around point-and-click puzzle-solving, where players use mouse or touch controls to interact with the environment and guide six cats to safety. The game takes place in multiple rooms, such as the living room, kitchen, and bathroom, requiring players to solve logical puzzles by manipulating objects, activating devices, and triggering events that influence cat behavior. Puzzles are designed with causal chains, encouraging observation of cat habits and environmental details to unlock paths. Progression is linear but includes hidden elements and multiple endings for replayability. As a ghost, players have limited supernatural abilities, such as moving small items or toggling switches, adding strategic depth. The gameplay is accessible yet challenging, ideal for players who enjoy thoughtful puzzle experiences.
