Wishlist Rural Cat Trails Right Now
Rural Cat Trails, the upcoming cozy adventure game from Japanese husband and wife duo Hibikai Games, officially launches its Steam store page. Created by a husband-and-wife team with backgrounds in major console development, the game invites players into a heartfelt countryside journey told from a cat’s perspective.
Set in the tranquil Nanoha Town during cherry blossom season, Rural Cat Trails blends nostalgic exploration with light platforming action. Players step into the paws of a beloved house cat living with an elderly couple. Guided by memories of a late grandfather, your goal is to reach Sakurana Shrine. The place is perched high atop a cliff and filled with sentimental value.
The game combines charming 2D pixel art character design with a lush 3D-rendered rural Japanese setting. As a nimble feline, you’ll squeeze through tight alleyways, leap across rooftops, and navigate hidden paths inaccessible to humans. Unique abilities like Paw Swat, Wall Jump, Wiggle Butt Dash, and treasure-digging mechanics open new routes and secrets across town.
Scattered throughout Nanoha Town are collectible Cat Cans that boost stamina, allowing for longer jump chains and extended dashes. Players can discover them tucked along roadsides, buried underground, or available in local shops.
Along the way, you’ll meet town residents, complete small favors, and soak in serene springtime scenery—petals drifting through the air, quiet bus stops, and nostalgic parks. Rural Cat Trails offers a gentle, free-spirited adventure celebrating exploration, memory, and the simple joys of being a cat.
