• OverInfected Enemies, Nightmare World & One Very Suspicious Cucumber - 26 May 2026

  Hey cats!🙃Some time has passed, and it's probably time to tell you how development is going.As always, it's hard to explain the long story short, because a lot is being made, some things are changing, some things are being thrown out, and some things are being added instead.Probably, the first thing worth talking about is the enemies!OverInfected enemiesWe now have OverInfected enemy variants. Just look at these beauties:These guys now die with some fun stuff - they can chase you after death or simply explode.Nightmare worldStarted working on the nightmare world. In the next articles, we'll tell you a bit more about it and about the game structure:Locations. Rooms and objectives. We polished all the rooms, played them, then polished them again, placed hazards, obstacles, and points of interest.

• Mansion and Meta Month: Rooms, Quests, Chaos - 25 December 2025

  Hey whisker-watchers! 🐾Lately we've been pouring a lot of time into the meta layer - levels, progression, and all the "one more run" reasons.The core loop is now simple and satisfying: grab resources during runs then spend them back at base.And yes - we've built the first floor of the Mansion. Two more floors are coming (send help… and wood planks).It finally feels like a real home you're upgrading over time, not just a placeholder room, but still there are some placeholders :)We also added quests - you can now officially annoy your Human and get XP for it 😼On top of that, we introduced a rank system and scattered stashes across locations. During runs you can find all kinds of little goodies and then hang them on your Wall of Pride back at the Mansion.We've also introduced the Chaos system. The more mischief you cause, the higher your Chaos level - and it affects enemies and overall r…

• The Whisker Watch - Co-op cat chaos in a cozy mansion - 24 September 2025

  We’reWe’re Catch the Void from Toronto, making The Whisker Watch - a co-op roguelike about cats, chaos, and a cozy mansion.The spark was a real cat: Kuchan, our friends’ cat. Young, strong - then sudden kidney failure out of nowhere. It punched us in the gut and made one thing clear: cats live surrounded by hidden hazards we barely notice - lilies and other toxic plants, cleaners, tiny “harmless” bits, cords. So we set out to build a game that sees the house through a cat’s eyes.The Whisker WatchAll cats are secret superheroes. By day they’re ordinary pets - lounging, causing mischief, making the house cozy. By night they become guardians, protecting their Human and home from lurking horrors.Night: raid and scrap, fight and mystery.Day: nap, repair, and upgrade your home.Co-op: friendly slaps, double-cat switches, catball, and junkit combos (shields, turrets, etc.).Mischief is meta: str…
