About Sa[meow]rai: Silverwing Stray

Cut through the neon streets, cat samurai.

The game is a top-down action-adventure title built around one-hit-kill combat and environmental interaction.

Players take the role of a cat samurai in a cyberpunk world, racing through a sprawling city where the line between good and evil blurs, uncovering hidden truths in a world where justice and corruption intertwine.

Note: "Sa[meow]rai" is pronounced "sa-myao-rai" — a play on the word "samurai" with "meow" worked into the middle.

Exhilarating, High-Tension One-Hit-Kill Combat

Use ranged attacks and blade strikes to cut down waves of enemies while dodging their attacks and racing across each floor. Alongside high-tempo combat that has players eliminating enemies within a time limit, it's also possible to manipulate surrounding electronic devices to turn the battle in your favor. Use every means available to survive and claim victory.

Branching Story and Multiple Endings

Set in a future city rife with conspiracy, a colorful cast of cat characters appears one after another to shape the story. Will you grant their wishes, or betray them for your own ambitions? The ending waiting beyond the many branching paths and hidden schemes depends entirely on the choices you make.

Two Distinct Visual Styles for Gameplay and Story

Gameplay sequences are rendered in detailed pixel art, while story sequences use fully hand-drawn cutscenes in a retro American-comic style, giving the game's world a distinctive, memorable feel.
