Familiar

Halloween night in a small New England town: trick-or-treat, light lanterns for Samhain, and turn into a cat. Wren, twelve, is out trick-or-treating and helping her grandmother keep Samhain: lighting lanterns for the town's beloved dead, brewing her cider and bringing her old cat's spirit home by midnight. Built on the Strata engine.

How to play

Click the game to take the mouse, then move the mouse to look, W A S D to walk and Shift to hurry. E knocks at a door with its porch light on, and Q turns Wren into a black cat (who can jump onto fences, sheds and roofs) and back. The NEXT line in the HUD says what comes next. On a phone or tablet, drag on the left half to walk and on the right half to look, and use the Knock and Cat buttons. An early version: it does not save yet, so a reload starts the night over. Needs WebGL 2.
