Taking a leaf out of stealth classics like Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid, albeit with a much cuter appearance, Sneacat is all about not engaging in battle, but rather encourages players to learn their opponent's movements in order to outsmart them. It's not just about clever movements though, as you'll have an array of special skills and secret passageways at your disposal.

Of course, in taking on the role of the cute and cuddly sleuth, you're not just doing this for the challenge. No, your task is much more important, as the Kingdom you are infiltrating holds an assortment of kittens all stolen from their families by an army of devious slime warriors, and if that isn't motivation, then we don't know what is.
