Take them, or don't — refusing help is worth points. The Beast wants you reckless. The leaderboard wants you patient. Both of them are watching. The nightmare You woke from a two-year coma with a hole where your memory should be. Now the nightmares come nightly, and they all play out the same way: there's a Beast, and it keeps cats in cages. When it gets hungry, it eats one. Then another. If it sees you, it chases you, and better it doesn't catch you — feeling your head being chopped off is quite unpleasant. The way out is at the top of the tallest building, and the elevator only runs with a cat nearby. So: find the keys, get the catnip, and bring as many darlings up with you as you can.

Content descriptors
BATEYD’s story deals with difficult subjects honestly rather than graphically. It involves drug use and drug dealing — including an adult who sells to teenagers — bullying, psychological abuse, homophobia, the death of an animal, the death of a young person, and physical violence that is implied rather than shown. There is no gore. Deaths in the nightmares are stylized, and you choose at the start how yours are depicted. If you stream or record yourself playing, this list is for you as much as for anyone.
