Game Instruction

As an adaptation of the popular suspecse TV series, Cat's Cradle, this game combines investigation, solving puzzles and reasoning with original stories, which can build a more Immersive and unique experience.

In this game, scenes are built by 3D technology, which will make a horrorable environment by using unique designing of colors, light and shadow.

This game will build new stories based on original setting and focus on the inner world of the character. Characters’ contradiction, struggle and liberation will be shown by more Imaginary ways.

Suspense Stories

You will play the part of Zhu Chaoyang, experience an unimaginable nightmare for ordinary junior-high students, and face the deep fear in your heart.

Deteriorated family, false friendship, greedy and selfish human nature, the game shows the coldness and cruelty of the adult world incisively and vividly from the perspective of a child. Can Zhu Chaoyang remain in innocent and kind after being soaked in darkness? You will uncover the ending by your own.

Original Gameplay

In this game, there are many different ways to play, including puzzles solving, exploration, investigation, logical reasoning and interactive performance, which aim to bringing different experiences.

There are rich exploration elements in in the 3D world. You can piecing up the hidden truth by looking for scattered clues and fragments.

Through innovative stories, exquisite game scenes, and diversified interaction, you will obtain an unforgettable audio-visual feast in the game.

Written at the end

This is our first time to challenge a game adapted from TV series. In fact, up to now, our hearts are still full of anxiety. Our experience and strength will be seriously challenged, because "Cat's Cradle" has a high popularity and influence in China. Worry and anxiety constantly haunt our team.

We spent nearly a year to watch novels and TV series intensively, investigated all the analysis and comments on the network, and finally determined our ction after countless iterations of the scheme. We will divide the game into 5 chapters: The preface, Chapter 1-mom, Chapter 2-dad, Chapter 3-friends and Final chapter. Through these 5 chapters, we want to express the family relations, family affection, education and friendship of teenagers in reality, which may make a realistic resonance with players. We hope to offer players not only the story atmosphere an entertainment of gameplay, but also some deep thoughts about the harm of original family during the growth of teenagers.

Hope you can like and support our game. Also hope to get your suggestions and feedback in the community.
