A Pawsome Story Awaits in Stars in the Trash
Stars in the Trash has arrived on Nintendo Switch today, bringing a warm and nostalgic cat adventure to a new audience. After charming players on PC, the hand-drawn platformer makes its Nintendo eShop debut exactly one year after its original release. This animated tale runs for about two hours and captures the spirit of the classic cartoons many grew up with. It is available for $14.99 with regional variations, and a 30% launch discount until 8 January.
The game offers a short, cozy experience designed for relaxed play. A warm drink and a sleepy cat nearby add to its atmosphere. Players can also download paper toys of the main characters to bring a festive touch to their holiday decorations.
Stars in the Trash blends platforming, exploration, and small bursts of action into a narrative journey. Every location is illustrated with traditional hand-drawn watercolour art that gives each scene a soft, nostalgic charm. The world feels like it belongs to an animated film, and the game leans into its emotional tone with quiet moments that unfold naturally.
At the centre of the story is Moka, a pampered house cat who feels confined by a comfortable but stifling home. Seeking freedom and adventure, Moka slips out into the wider world. Players travel through new environments and form bonds with other animals. All while tackling the dangers that stand between Moka and a brighter future. The escape from the determined kennelman adds momentum to the journey while keeping the focus on character and friendship.
Stars in the Trash encourages players to explore a beautiful world, enjoy a heartfelt story, and experience the world through the eyes of a curious cat.
