Meow meow, mew mew mew. Mew, meow. Meow!
[Translation below]
Does anyone remember Samorost? It was one of the best Flash games that surfaced during the Newgrounds era — a point-and-click adventure that set the creepy-cute tone for all of Amanita Design's work from that point on.
Catie in MeowmeowLand has a lot of that creepy-cute DNA, mixed with a big ol' dollop of what-the-heckery, and — if you'll forgive us for referencing the mid-2000s again — the aesthetic of We Like The Moon.
Like Samorost, Catie in MeowmeowLand is a point-and-click adventure, in which the titular Catie is dragged into a rabbit hole and forced to explore a hallucinatory storybook world through puzzles and dialogue with a cast of weird nightmare creatures.
Now, this is either your worst nightmare or your Exact Kind Of Thing, especially if you're a terminally online millennial like some of us, so if you're the latter, you can download Catie in MeowmeowLand from the Nintendo Switch eShop on the 30th March, for $14.99 / £9.99 / €11.99.
Do you actually remember We Like The Moon? Or is that just us? Please let us know in the comments.

Very much does remind me of Samorost. Which is a proper classic.
@nessisonett I appreciate you.
The trailer literally begins with the hero being pooped out of a 🐈 butt 😒 🙄 😑
????
I don't know how to feel about this
This definitely takes influences from Amanita Design games. Looks interesting.
Also, why aren't the Samrost games on Switch? I'd gladly fork out money for the trilogy.
All the dead good rathergood stuff in one place!

Don't think I've been on the site for many years, so thanks for the reminder!
This looks so weird that I am definitely interested now.
Kate was reading my mind: I immediately thought of Amanita design. Looks pretty cool.
So, it's pretty much cancelled then? Shame. Looked kooky.
Looks like I'll have to look elsewhere to be drugged by supernatural cats for now.
Seems like your game can't feature a catbus and NOT be at least to some degree influenced by My Neighbor Totoro. There are worse influences!
This looks just up my alley, hopefully a physical comes of it
