Our take on Push The Cat with WASD
Instead of separating narrative from gameplay, this puzzle game makes its written story part of the level machinery. The player manipulates selected letters to move the cat, replacing the usual grid or object-based puzzle board with text and framing the narrative as a mechanical obstacle.

When the letters W, A, S, or D appear in on-screen text, they can be pushed, allowing the cat to move toward a goal.
