The Catrooms for Linux

Liminal Cat Horror

Overview

The Catrooms is a game made for Linux that combines a creepy Backrooms setting with a cat theme.

In this arcade-style game, your goal is to find all 14 hidden trinkets while avoiding cat emojis that try to catch you.

Players use simple controls—moving the mouse to look around and arrow keys or WASD keys to walk through the rooms.

The game shows a floating eye that helps guide you to the trinkets for most of the search.

However, for the final trinket, there is no floating eye to follow.

Instead, the sky changes color, turning redder when you get closer to it.

After collecting all the trinkets, the sky turns yellow to show you have won.

This game is easy to learn, making it a fit for users who want a clear objective and straightforward controls on Linux.

Because the controls rely on mouse and keyboard, navigating through rooms to find trinkets feels smooth and manageable.

However, there is limited information about extra features or how detailed the graphics and sounds are.

The final trinket might be tricky since there’s no direct guide, which adds a bit of challenge for players.

Overall, The Catrooms offers a unique mix of horror and cat themes in a Backrooms-style environment for Linux users looking for a simple but interesting arcade game to explore.
