NEKOMATA

A CHEESIFIED UNIVERSE

In NEKOMATA, space R.A.T.S. are quickly turning every planet in the universe into cheese! You play as P.U.R.R. (Programmable Unit for Rewinding Reality), a feline automaton from the Galactic Pest Control Federation tasked with one critical mission: infiltrate their cheese mothership and destroy their cheesification beam.

REWIND THROUGH TIME... AT A COST

Equipped with a Rewind Engine, P.U.R.R. has the ability to rewind her own actions while everything else moves forward in time. Handy for dodging projectiles and escaping tight spots, this power makes her virtually invincible—until she encounters radioactive cheese. Due to a fault in her Rewind Engine, using this ability near cheese radiation causes nearby projectiles to act in all sorts of strange ways...
