Embark On a Rescue Mission in A Simple Expurriment
Cat lovers looking for a quirky new adventure won’t have to wait much longer, as A Simple Expurriment launches on October 28. Blending metroidvania exploration with puzzles, stealth, and plenty of feline chaos, the game offers a strange adventure without any combat.
The story follows a mother cat who finds herself aboard an alien spaceship after an extraterrestrial kidnaps her three kittens. Determined to rescue her family, she must sneak past security systems, solve puzzles, and use her feline instincts to navigate the unfamiliar surroundings. However, there’s more going on than meets the eye, as the cats are part of an experiment conducted by a greedy alien corporation seeking to understand their unusual influence over humans.
Instead of fighting enemies, players must rely on stealth, exploration, and creative problem-solving to progress. Combining different parts of the spaceship helps unlock new paths. And the three kittens bring their own genetically enhanced abilities into the mix. As the rescue mission unfolds, things become increasingly strange, promising a few surprises along the way.
The developers have also confirmed that A Simple Expurriment was created entirely without AI tools. Its artwork, code, and writing were all produced without assistance from large language models or other AI technology.
The game aims to deliver a focused experience that respects players’ time. A first playthrough should take around five to six hours, with another hour needed to discover the alternative ending. Completionists can also hunt for collectibles and hidden pop culture references.
With its unusual premise, puzzle-driven gameplay, and a determined cat mom on a mission, A Simple Expurriment could be a fun change of pace for players seeking something different when it launches on October 28.
