Catto Chateau

Catto Chateau is a non-linear metroidvania platformer set in a large haunted chateau. The player controls Memo, a ghost cat who awakens in a village fountain with no memory of how she died. Something has happened to the chateau and to her old friend, the Duchess. The villagers have become corrupted and phantoms fill the chateau’s halls. Memo is the only one able to harvest the souls of the chateau’s bosses, which allows her to ascend the chandelier and return the villagers to their homes.

The chateau acts as a hub area. From it, players find portals that lead to separate levels, enchanted treasures that grant new abilities, and magic orbs. Levels can be tackled in any order. Memo fights phantoms and other monsters with stomps and spells, and newly learned spells and abilities help with both combat and reaching new areas of the chateau. Rescuing villagers opens up new shops, where players can buy ways to strengthen Memo’s abilities after each level.

The final release is listed as including 16 unique bosses. The game is described as having casual platforming and a relaxed pace, and its music was composed by Certified Organic. The Steam page carries a warning that the game contains imagery that may be harmful to players with photosensitive epilepsy or similar conditions.
