Project Kat
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
"You're not prepared to deal with the truth...are you?"
A mysterious golden letter is sent to a select number of people... Its contents are unknown.
Project Kat is a short, unconventional RPG horror game in which there is always another way. Solve puzzles, make friends (or not), and guide Kat as she attempts to uncover the mystery behind a strange golden letter.
This is a story-based puzzle game where each puzzle has multiple solutions and outcomes! There is always another way.
The game is playable in about 45 minutes and contains multiple endings depending on your actions.
This is the prologue to Paper Lily, the full game (currently in development), but it's also a standalone story that can be enjoyed on its own.
Warning:
May contain flashing lights, some blood and unsettling scenes. Proceed at your own risk.
Just kidding it's really not that bad. But still it's a horror game :)
IMPORTANT! <3

Cool game. I love the artwork too!
I'll have to find more endings. I presume runes will be key. But for a 2d game the horror is very well made! I also love world bending 4d pathways. So GGs!
how many endings this got doe
8 endings of variable complexity
DAYUM
really really sick. the artwork is just amazing and it's so cute but also highkey terrifying ToT awesome really enjoyed tysm :DD
Me encanta y me fascina la dedicacion que le dan a este juego. Desde que empece a manejarme en pc hace unos dias no sabia bien que hacer, asi que comence a investigar sobre juegos de este estilo, ya que, son de mis favoritos. Hasta que encontre Project Kat y me encanto cada segundo del gameplay. Me entristecio un poco ver que ya habia terminado todos los finales de Project Kat, hasta que me entere que habia una secuela: Paper Lily. Desde entonces, estoy apoyando este proyecto con muchas ansias esperando a que llegue el segundo capitulo de Paper Lily!!! Realmente amo su trabajo y espero que sigan asi, les deseo lo mejor y gracias por crear una bella obra llamada Project Kat/Paper Lily <3❤️ /
English Translation:
I absolutely love and admire the dedication you put into this game. Since I recently started using a PC, I didn’t really know what to do at first, so I began looking for games in this style—because they’re some of my favorites. That’s when I discovered Project Kat, and I loved every second of the gameplay.
I felt a little sad when I realized I had already completed all the endings in Project Kat—until I found out there was a sequel: Paper Lily. Since then, I’ve been supporting this project with great excitement, eagerly waiting for Chapter 2 of Paper Lily to arrive!
I truly love your work and hope you keep going—wishing you all the best, and thank you for creating such a beautiful piece of art called Project Kat/Paper Lily. <3❤️
Good game
this game is fun to play i love the graphics and controls too <3 I enjoyed it a lottt
Great game!! I lovveeeee itttt! Great art, music and basic gameplay element <3 Hope there will be more of it <333
good game. real shame my neck got fucking snapped
I think it was some kind of cutting rather then snapping.
you may be right but idk because the demon or whatever did say he would snap her neck or something didnt he?
Neat looking game, sadly the linux version seems 64-bit only. If you could state that with the download, it would be nice. And if you have the possibility to create a 32-bit linux executable it would be greatly appreciated by me.
Wow, I haven't played the game yet but I have came upon it by someone sending me a letter than came to me on Desktop Meadow...Just happy to see that it went so far and that it's getting known. GG, dear developper!!! :D <3
This was a fantastic prologue to the Paper Lily series! The music, artwork, and story are all the things I like the most about this game! Keep up the excellent work!
this game is so peak i first played this around the time it was released when i was in middle school and i think that was the scariest game i have ever played around that time i dont know why i was TERRIFIED and i only got one ending . im so happy that i got to rediscover this and i also get to find out that its also the prologue for paper lily which is another cool game that im obsessed with !! i was supposed to leave this review like 2 months ago but i totes forgot lmao
Oh man, you should totally dig in and find the other endings. They are absolutely worthwhile.
i definitely will! im working on it!!!
My computer crashed 3 times playing this, so i just gave up on it.
It's not like i have a shitty computer or anything, my computer is pretty solid, so I was pretty surprised. Anyway, I liked what i played.
Love the sprites of this game!
The game and music is very high quality, friendly for someone who don't have money to buy games. I appreciate this :)
Loved it, not too creepy but not too soft either. Recommend 100%
Gostaria de apoiar mas não posso
I LOVED THE GAME!! Art was so cute?!
Hi, your game Paper Lily and its prologue really touched me. I cried just listening to your great soundtracks and the story was touching and meaningful. So I would ask you to make a version of the game that contains all future chapters of Paper Lily and its prologue Project Kat on Android and Ios.
update for indonesia language
pls
awesome!!
Passed it a long time ago, but I rate it only now, 10/10 although the part with the doors doesn’t quite make sense to me
expecting a jumpscare so i was looking at everything expect the screen
10/10 game
A masterpiece, revolutionary, breath taking, jaw droppening, this is legit one of the best rpg maker games ive played the endings make me so saddddddd its so gooooood.
Great Game!
But could someone tell me if the game has multiple endings ?
i played this a few times a couple years ago so i'm no expert but as far as i remember there's only one ending but multiple paths to reach that ending?
heyyyy sorry if this sounds dumb buut how do you do the first room? I cant figure out how to open the box
In ur inventory there is a note. Use it and you'll be able to leave the room.
Trilha sonora MUITO boa, o ambiente do jogo é bem de suspense, a arte visual é boa. Sou pioneira jogando no PC, costumo usar mais pra trabalho e estudos na hora arrombar as portas eu pensei que eu nunca fosse passar, mas depois de umas 12 tentativas eu consegui. Continua no projeto que vai dar certo, dev.
Ah, quase eu esqueço, tenho a impressão de que eu achei um bug em um momento. Depois do ritual, eu corri para o lado esquerdo (não interagi com nada, nem escada e nem porta) e caí do mapa direto na escuridão. Era como se minha personagem estivesse embaixo do chão, mas eu não conseguia subir ela novamente.
Enfim, eu gostei bastante. Peguei uns sustos aqui e ali e a hstória é envolvente. Desejo tudo de bom pra equipe.
Looks Cool
This was incredible, well done. I was genuinely so spooked especially when the songs weren't playing anymore! And very seamless, great job :)
I have problems with opening the app in macOS, idk what to do plz help
