About Kittens of Fear
Ulysses was a hard-working, upstanding young man whose life ended far too soon. Like a few others who perished due to appalling factory conditions, his soul could yield no peace without a chance at revenge. What better way to hurt a conscienceless materialist like Mr. Carne -- the factory owner -- than to pilfer his prized possessions?
But Mr. Carne has a surprise defense force even against restless spirits. The ghastly creatures that protect his rooms are rumored to be known as...
Kittens Of Fear was initially a "demo pitch" type of game. However, after a few business rejections it was completed anyway -- placeholder graphics and all. The game was first released in December 2020, but was changed to free in Q1 of 2022.

What Is This Foolishness?
Kittens Of Fear was initially a "demo pitch" type of game. However, after a few business rejections it was completed anyway -- placeholder graphics and all. The game was first released in December 2020, but was changed to free in Q1 of 2022.
Features:
- No jump scares. Not one is in the game. If jump scares in horror games irk you, then check this game out.
- No inventory to deal with. Your flashlight has infinite battery life. Loot is automatically handled. Very clean and simple UI.
- No combat. Your only options are Avoidance and Evasion.
- Perma-death. Data is recorded at the end of a completed game, but there is no saving and returning.
- Power-ups that can quickly turn enemy encounters in your favor.
- 25 Steam Achievements available.
Quick Tips:
- Press the Escape key to view the mini-map (and a red compass). It reveals everything except enemy locations and "Voices of the Doomed" areas.
- The Lore category in the Main Menu has additional game play hints that aren't found in the Tutorial.
- You can see the Shadow cat if you have the Super Flashlight power-up.
- Stage Key location hints:
- On stage 1 (Forest), the Stage Key is either west or east.
- On stage 2 (Study), the Stage Key is never in the "tail" section.
- On stage 6 (Cultist Rooms), the Stage Key is never in the southeast room.

nothing but love in my heart for this game2 found this helpful
"Kittens of Fear" is not a properly or sincerely made game... the developer claims this was an advertising pitch to sell a game development studio... which then didn't develop anything else because this "best foot forward" from them was complete garbage nobody wanted. What do you do in the game? This is a basic first person "horror" adventure where you wander around a handful of (probably asset flipped) Unity levels, find a key, and then quickly uninstall this garbage. It's very shallow, very pointless, and very valueless. The "game" here is of a pretty low technical standard. The implementation is basic minimum effort stuff, more like a weekend project rather than a serious, professionally made product... and it's bad even compared to most amateur made games. An experimental piece... and the experiment is "Can I spend on Steam Direct and then call myself a game dev?" While that $100 spend on Steam Direct probably made the developers feel good about themselves, we have to ask why this kind of thing is good for gamers. It isn't. This game is fairly dated at 6 years old... and even back then it looked old and busted compared to contemporary, professionally made 3D games of t…1 found this helpful

Игра "Kittens of Fear" – это неожиданно жутковатый опыт, несмотря на милую обложку. Вначале наивная атмосфера похищения котят быстро сменяется гнетущим чувством опасности и мрачной тайной. Графика нарочито простая, но это только усиливает эффект от происходящего, делая акцент на саспенсе и психологическом хорроре. Сюжет затягивает, заставляя гадать: кто стоит за похищениями и какая участь ждет пушистых жертв? Игровой процесс заключается в исследовании локаций и решении несложных головоломок, однако основной упор сделан на атмосферу и раскрытие истории через записки, голоса из прошлого и визуальные подсказки. "Kittens of Fear" не предлагает скримеров в классическом понимании, но держит в напряжении до самого финала. Она подойдет любителям коротких, атмосферных хорроров с уклоном в психологию и загадочность. Если вы ищете игру, которая сможет напугать вас не громкими звуками, а гнетущим чувством тревоги и необычным сюжетом, то "Kittens of Fear" определенно стоит внимания. Милый антураж здесь только маскировка для чего-то гораздо более зловещего.
