Chinese studio Diamond Cat Studio has announced an action-adventure game about a girl, Molly, and a mysterious cat, Mio, called Ylem’s Cat. The game is in development for PC and will be steambut a release date has yet to be determined.
In the story, Molly searches for her missing mother as she travels across a dying planet, where the ruins hide traces of a long-lost civilization. After a disaster, a girl is saved by an unusual shape-shifting cat. After hearing the noise he made, Molly called him Mio.
The heroes are connected by a common heartbeat, but their relationship cannot be called foolproof. Mio remains a cat with his own habits and moods, and the origin of the creature and the reasons for his behavior become one of the story’s main mysteries. During her journey, Molly tries to figure out where he came from and why he decided to save her. The heroine’s search for her mother gradually leads her to discover a greater secret. Molly must find out who the Silent Giant is, what the new Titan is, why the Guardians are hunting Mio, and what role her mother played in all this.
The study of the world will be closely linked to the study of its laws. Players will observe the orbits of giants, the pulses of Ilam, and the behavior of guardians, looking for patterns that can be used in travel and combat. Developers call knowledge one of Molly and Mio’s primary tools.
While fighting and exploring the planet, cats’ abilities must be constantly considered. Only Mio can overcome some obstacles, and his curiosity can lead the heroes to important discoveries. In battle, the two’s effectiveness depends on how well Molly and Mio learn to work together. The developers also promised that only two heroes will pass the test.
