‘Lasagna Boy’ Finds the Horror in a Certain Comic Strip Cat

Lasagna Boy isn’t out for pasta tonight. Instead, he hungers for your flesh.

Lasagna Boy pits you against a monstrous feline beast, one who is more than happy to take a bite out of whatever morsel wanders too close. You’ll want to stay out of its sight, but since you live in a very, very strange house filled with columns, you have a lot of places to hide.

You can’t just hide out forever, though, and will need to explore your house for tools to get rid of the mutated cat. Handy stuff is hidden in drawers and dressers throughout your home, like keys and keycards, that will let you progress through the place. Why you lock your own doors and leave the keys all over the house, I’ll never know. But I’m not super sure of why you own such a dangerous pet, either.

Lasagna Boy offers a tense game of hide-and-seek with a deeply disturbing monster cat, and all with a complex mission on how to get away from it. It’s equal parts scary and silly, making for a fun and frightening combination. I’m very curious to see what lies in store for the full version.

A demo for Lasagna Boy is available on Itch.io.
