Dear Friends!



Today you will step into uncharted territory for the fourth time. This journey will be much longer than the previous ones. This is where things might get a little frightening. You will become a cat, return to your childhood once more and finally leave the ship. Some answers can be found only outside the warm cabins. Will you help Oddy in his quest to find out what is going on aboard the scientific vessel?

If you already have the second and third episodes, you don't need to purchase this episode, it should be available to you for free. If this is your first purchase, you will receive four episodes immediately and the fifth episode will be made available (for free) on the day of its release.

We are about to deploy our new content update "1.5 - Merry Christmas" to Steam users. The update will overhault the existing christmas event and bring some more Christmas stuff to all players.


First of all, the santa hat is still available. You can get it by going to the teddy bear shop and looking on top of the wardrobe. You'll see the shopkeeper has already taken one of the santa hats ;)


As soon as you start the game, you'll notice that the Entrance Area is now decorated with plastic christmas stuff and also plays some christmas music. Besides the decoration, you'll find a bowl with cookies in front of you. As it is christmas time, it's okay to have the kitten have one or two ;)


The living room has also received new decorations. You'll find a new christmas tree and a new fireplace next to you.

All together: This is not our largest update, we know. We just wanted to bring some light into your kitten's home during christmas time. In the meantime we are progressing well with our large 2.0 update that is scheduled for late winter. The new level we add is already 90% done. But this is just one of the big new features that will come.

Have a great christmas everyone!

Hi, soldiers!

The player who picks the weapon turns into the Juggernaut — a special class with tons of health, The Juggernaut will score points for every moment they are alive and yet more points for every player elimination. The other players must try to kill the Juggernaut, and they will score points proportional to the amount of damage dealt to them. The Juggernaut may seem OP, but all players know their location, This should add an interesting dynamic to Juggernaut games that you won’t see anywhere else.

The second match of the first day of the 3rd week took place between PRIDE and Pompa Team. A new derby between Polish teams in the Zula Europe Pro League. This match promised that it would be equalized and, in effect, it was.

The matches were played in China and Old Town.

In China the eagles started defending and could stop 4 of the 9 attacks of the ghosts, arriving at the swap of roles with a result of 5 to 4 in their favor. Pompa Team also carried out a good role in their turn of defense, but in the key round to force the overtime, the eagles were plummeted over the ghosts and closed the game with a score of 10 - 8. In this match, 3 of the PRIDE players got 16 kills, REALIZE, luxon1337 and mtzN1, but the MVP was luxon1337 with a KDA of 1.8 (16/10/2).

In Old Town, Pompa Team got the necessary motivation to win PRIDE with a result of 10 - 7. In their defense phase they got the victory in 5 rounds of the 9 rounds despite the great attacks of PRIDE. In their turn to attack the ghosts found the way to nick the defense of the eagles closing the match with the result said above, 10 - 7. The MVP has been CLN with a KDA of 1.61 (18/13/3).

First point in the Zula Europe Pro League for PRIDE, therefore, another point for Pompa Team, finishing with both teams in the bottom part of the ranking.
