A Simple Expurriment

A Simple Expurriment is a combat-free metroidvania where stealth and puzzle solving are key elements. Explore an alien ship both by enhancing your feline abilities and by manipulating parts of the map as if they were pieces of a puzzle, and make a critical decision on the game’s latter half that will lead to one of two possible outcomes.

What happens when a cat family ends up in an alien spaceship that works as a giant puzzle?

Here you’ll find no enemies to defeat, but plenty of dangers to avoid with agility and stealth - easy thing for a cat, especially the three kittens who received genetic upgrades and got superfeline abilities. And when not even those mutations can help, you can always count on a human brain to do what sharp claws can’t: find your way by combining parts of the ship, bring all the cats together… and then things will start to get weird.

The alien who abducted the cats wants to understand how such fur balls can make humans so docile and, in the future, use this information in an eventual… expansion towards Earth. Perhaps even get a promotion and stop cleaning toilets, who knows?

The cat mom, on the other hand, just want to get her children back and go home. Cats don’t have big ambitions… or do they?

• Use the kittens’ genetic upgrades to jump higher, turn to liquid, and do other typical (or not so typical) cat things.

• Use the ship’s transport system to move between the four main areas and manipulate their sectors to open new ways.

• Make a crucial decision that will lead the experiment to one of two possible outcomes. Each path has different obstacles and a final challenge. Both are chaotic.

• After getting to one of the endings, it’s possible to return directly to the decision point and follow the other route.
