MagiCats! in: Rousalie and the Infinite Sadness
A downloadable game for Windows
QUIT THE NIGHT & SEEK THE DAY
☆☆☆
Experience a magical world in this light-hearted slice-of-life! Feel the aching pangs of a distant and unspoken love in this Dostoevs-kyan dramedy! Put on a brave face to hide the quiet desperation of a childhood friend-turned-terrorist's impending death?!
...and don't fall into the abyss of an infinite sadness.
Rousalie had the good fortune to be born a black-furred molly of ignoble standing; this awarded her the privilege of being forced into the School of Thaumaturgy, learning black magic and becoming a witch in service to the Holy Empire and the magician-priests who rule it — along with reality itself.
Now an adult, she has been assigned for over a year to the thirteenth canton of Ickshoum, a great city in the snowy, forested North of the world. Healing the sick, exorcising demons and settling small legal claims are just some of her responsibilities.
And for a big-hearted molly like Rousalie, it can be hard work to be a witch. But she's never let it get her down...
Until today.
- A deep, complex world where the mysteries of philosophy and religion find new expression through the fantastic civilization of the MagiCats!
- A puzzling combat system based on magic and mysticism of the Stella Matutina, Argentium Astrum, Typhonians, Rosi-crucians, Martinists, Kabbalists, Merkavahists, Hermetists, Alchemists, Sufis, Onmyōji, Neoplatonists, Pythagoreans, Orphics, Dionysians, Serapis-worshipers, Greeks, Egyptians, Assyrians et al. and even some people you've never heard of!
- A suite of original music!
- An experience inspired in great part by all the beautiful art I've had the incomparable fortune to witness in my life, from EarthBound to d'Annunzio's Alcyone.

I liked this demo a lot. Love the style of the cats. Excited to see where it goes
Thank you!
There seems to be a bug in the Larder where if you interact with the rightmost side, you go to Ikshum Heights, which doesn't seem to be intended.
Thank you very much for telling me! I'll have that fixed before the next update.
Nice. really love the game so far. can't wait to see more
