This is the DEMO of A Cat in the Cangaço! Get a first taste of the adventure and experience the game's core mechanics. Development is still underway, and much more content is coming before the full release. If you enjoy the experience, wishlist the game to follow development updates and be notified when it launches.

Journey through an enchanted sertão — the mystical backlands of Northeastern Brazil — where poetry and battle intertwine. You are Guto: by day, a cat; by night, a man — always ready to defend your gang from the curse of Sete Pele (the Seven Skins).

In A Cat in the Cangaço, every skirmish is unique: build your deck, upgrade your skills, and use strategy to face creatures born from Sete Pele’s wrath.

AT THE CAMP, EVERYTHING BEGINS

Head to the camp to prepare. Talk to characters who will help you on your mission, and when you’re ready, launch yourself into battle with the giant slingshot.

THE FIRST FIGHT

The monsters emerge, drawn by the curse that follows you. It’s up to you to move Guto, dodge attacks, and rely on your instincts. Combat happens automatically — your weapons and blessings act on their own — but your survival depends on your movement.

CHOOSE YOUR CARDS, BUILD TWO LOADOUTS AT ONCE

Embrace Guto’s duality — a hero divided between day and night. By day, he takes on his Cat form; by night, his Human form. With each upgrade, you pick two cards — one good and one bad — balancing benefits and drawbacks between both sides. The secret lies in maintaining harmony between feline and human, creating wild builds that make every encounter unpredictable and full of surprises.

UPGRADE YOUR WEAPONS

Level up your skills, unlock increasingly powerful attacks, and use your feline instincts to turn the tide of battle in your favor and defeat your enemies.

ADD TO YOUR WISHLIST NOW!

Blending elements of roguelite, deckbuilder, and auto-shooter, A Cat in the Cangaço turns strategy into survival — and poetry into power.

Each run is a new beginning, and the balance between cat and man is the thin line between blessing and doom.
