❖ Gameplay ❖

ShadowKitty: Thief by Night features fast-paced action platformer gameplay. You’ll infiltrate each stage to search for stolen art and ultimately defeat the stage’s powerful Boss. Use stealth, agility, and cunning to outwit your enemies.

Utilize ShadowKitty's razor-sharp claws to create devastating combos, or employ a range of non-lethal weapons, including the Gummy Gun, Boomerang, and Smoke Bomb to subdue your foes. Explore every nook and cranny of the procedurally generated levels, which change each time you play for endless surprises. Even restarting a stage or dying yields a whole new level layout!

Collect a secret art piece in each regular stage to unlock a challenging Secret Boss encounter. Don't worry about missing one; you can always replay, or rather, "Reprise" each stage again. Prepare for puzzles that test your wit, such as avoiding lasers, searching for keys, hiding from searchlights, and activating timed mechanisms.
