Our take on Instinct

A cat investigates the arrival of a suspicious stranger while every resident of the house has a secret.

What is Instinct?

Ginger, a cat who works at a pet store, becomes suspicious when Christian appears and settles into a small closet on the ground floor.

She investigates why Evelyn, the store owner, hired him and what each resident may be hiding. The story includes secrets connected to Ginger, Evelyn, and Christian, including a government pursuit of cats like Ginger. Player choices change the ending. Romance options include a relationship with a woman or a man, while another ending allows the story to conclude without romance. The game supports windowed and full-screen display modes at 1080p.
