Puss In Books

In Puss In Books, you embark on a journey guiding a kitty through a whimsical journey as it explores dreams inspired by Óbidos' legends. Traverse a literary world and craft an enchanting narrative as the cat travels through the captivating scenarios within its dreams. Experience a blend of imagination and adventure, where each dream unveils new challenges and discoveries in a quest to uncover the essence of literary magic. With this game, we hope to offer a small taste of Óbidos through typography, books, and hopefully cats!

The game takes inspiration from Scribblenauts and the way its puzzles interact with the environment around the player. The idea came from an excursion trip to Óbidos, where a visit to a typography shop included an introduction to the craft of printing and the process of imprinting shapes and letters onto paper. This inspired the idea for a writing game. While strolling around Óbidos and seeing kitty after kitty in the streets, lying in stores and at libraries, the main character had to be a kitty. The current version of the game took inspiration from the Óbidos legend "Door of Betrayal".

The original prototype game of Puss In Books was created by Team Ovo Cozido, two young people who took part in the first cultural game jam in Óbidos, in February 2024. Puss In Books was later matured in collaboration with BATTLESHEEP, a game development studio based in Lisbon, Portugal, who recently have been working on educational, serious, and casino games for domestic and international clients.
