We’re Slowing Down: Full Release Delayed & Free Prologue

Dear friends, We’re sorry — we’re going to “delay” things for a little while. The full release of Sleepy Cat was originally planned for January 20, but the closer we got, the more uncertain we felt.

Dear friends,

We’re sorry — we’re going to “delay” things for a little while.

The full release of Sleepy Cat was originally planned for January 20, but the closer we got, the more uncertain we felt. It just didn’t feel ready yet, and we didn’t want to rush something out for sale before it was truly polished.

So we made a rather bold decision: to put the full release on hold and instead prepare a completely free Prologue for everyone to play first.

This is also our way of testing the waters:

ːsteamthumbsupː The beginning of the story: We’ve placed one of the most important secrets of the world’s backstory into the prologue, presented with a sense of mystery, in the hope of sparking your curiosity.

ːsteamthumbsupː A look at the gameplay: The day–night system, skill strategies, and parts of the meta progression will all be available to experience in the prologue.

By releasing this free version, we’re also hoping to hear your honest feedback. What feels awkward to play? What feels a bit dull? Before the full release, we want to refine the game further based on your suggestions.

Right now, we’re fully focused on polishing the details of the prologue. We’ll keep you updated on its release timing as development progresses. While we can’t deliver the full version just yet, we hope this prologue can be our way of properly meeting you first.

This prologue is the beginning of our sincerity, and our final commitment to quality. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We’ll see you once the prologue is ready.
