You’re the cat of an elderly woman. Life is simple. You come and go as you please, sunbathe, and nap just about everywhere. Until the phone rings.
The grandchildren are coming and the flashbacks start. Backwards pats. Stepped-on tails. The chasing. In House Call, it is up to you to escape this terrible situation before you lose 8 of your 9 lives.
In this hilarious and charming game, players will assume the role of a cat in major distress. A cat that will do almost anything to get away from the grandchildren. Your ultimate goal is to relax – somewhere. Preferably without children. This may require you to dash across some counters and knock down everything in sight. Perhaps that calamity will at least buy you some time to find a safe spot. Avoid the children by any means. This is a run-out-the-clock situation where you have to stay out of sight until the children go home. Luckily, you’ll have the advantage of speed and some strong leaping skills.
If you survive the visit from the children, a truly magical world awaits outdoors. You will be able to witness a full spectrum of seasons, as well as some curious characters. An alligator with style, a hot bear at the playground – perhaps they also are seeking some respite. There’s a ton of friends outside just waiting to meet you and some may just want a push on the slide.
House Call is far from a simple run and hide game. With creativity and charm bursting at its seams, players are sure to have a ‘meow’-morable ex-‘purr’-ience.
