Six Cats Under

Six Cats Under drops you into the slippers of a recently departed cat lady who sticks around as a cheeky poltergeist to rescue her herd of furry chaos machines. You are not platforming, grinding, or speedrunning. You are solving a compact houseful of point and click puzzles where every lamp, fan, and toilet handle can set off a glorious chain reaction that lures a cat to safety.

How to Play Six Cats Under?

You guide your cats by nudging the living room like a mischievous ghost. Click on objects to prod, flip, or power them so they interact with each other. Turn on the clock to spook a cat off a shelf, flush the toilet to make a racket, swivel a fan to waft smells toward a picky eater, and pop a window to invite a fly that becomes bait for a hunter. The magic is in the sequence. You observe a room, map out how items relate, then test small cause and effect steps until a cat decides your plan was brilliant. Early progress comes from simple noise and motion. Later you layer scent, light, and timing to chain multiple reactions. If you get stuck, scan for new cables to plug in, dials to rotate, or props that changed state after your last click. Small visual tells confirm you are on the right track, so always recheck hotspots after each success. Speed fiends can condense the entire rescue into one smooth route, but first timers should savor the experimentation.

What Are the Controls for Six Cats Under?

Use your mouse to point, hover for hints, and left click to interact with objects in the scene. On desktop builds you also press Esc to access menu options like restart or quit if provided by your platform launcher. The entire design is click driven, so you can play comfortably with one hand and a cup of tea in the other.
