The Last Cat in the Universe is officially out today! We are beyond excited to finally share this project with you. We've poured so much love and hard work into it over this whole time, and we can't wait to see your reactions.
As you might know, we're a very small indie team, so every bit of support means the world to us. If you like what we do at Apamate Studio and want to give us an extra push to keep making games, we invite you to check out our "Supporter Edition". It's a very special bundle we put together that includes a DLC to put little hats on the cat (yes, little hats!) and the amazing original soundtrack so you can take the game's music with you everywhere.
We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the support and interest you've shown in the project leading up to this point.
Finally, a huge favor to ask: for those of you picking up the game, if the experience resonates with you, we would be incredibly grateful if you could leave a review right here on our Steam page. For indie studios like ours, those reviews are literally pure gold; they are what allow us to tell Steam that people are enjoying the game, which helps us reach so many more players.
Thank you all so much for joining us on this adventure!

Hey everyone!
Today we have a big update for you: The Last Cat in the Universe is officially launching on April 23rd!
We originally aimed for a late March release, but we've decided to take a few extra weeks. We want to polish those final details to ensure the game reaches you in the best possible state. Our priority is always making sure the experience feels great to play.
We’ll be sharing more news about our launch plans in the coming weeks. In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek of what we’ve been working on lately so you can see how things are coming along:
If you haven't already, wishlisting the game helps us out a ton in this final stretch!

Hello everyone.
Today is a very important day for us at Apamate Studio. After months of pouring our hearts into this project, we are excited to announce that the official demo of The Last Cat in the Universe is now available to download.
As we told you before, this game was born from the need to create something more intimate and manageable, a profound emotional experience in its simplicity. This demo is the introduction to this new story we have lovingly prepared for you.
This demo is designed to be an introduction to the atmosphere and mechanics we are building. It is not the complete journey, but it is the first step of this adventure. In it, you can:
Experience the beginning of the story: You will see the narrative introduction and understand what is at stake. You will see your mission in the game, perhaps the most important mission in the entire universe.
Experience the "Zen" loop: You will be able to try the relaxing mining mechanic and access the first upgrades in the Skill Tree. We want you to feel the satisfaction of gathering resources to turn them into well-being for the cat.
Meet the kitten: You will meet the furry friend who will accompany you on this adventure and you can start interacting with her.
We are releasing this demo today with the goal of preparing for the Steam Next Fest starting this February 23rd.
Until that date, we will be polishing this demo and will continue adding content. Therefore, your feedback is vital at this moment. We want to arrive at the festival with the most solid version possible, and no one is better than you to tell us what works and what we can improve.
Did you find the mining relaxing? Was the interface clear? In what ways would you like to be able to interact with the cat and the environment? We want to know everything.
If you decide to try the demo, we would be immensely grateful if you:
Give us your feedback: You can write to us in the Community forums here on Steam or, even better, join our Discord to chat directly with us.
Add the game to your Wishlist: If you like what you see, a wishlist makes a huge difference in helping more people discover us during the festival.
Thank you for being part of the first steps of this little cat. We are eagerly looking forward to your comments.
With love,
Wilmar & Wilderman

Hi everyone.
If you are reading this, thank you for your interest in The Last Cat in the Universe. We want to take this first post to briefly introduce ourselves and explain the origin of this project.
We are Apamate Studio, a team made up of two brothers from Venezuela.
Until recently, we were dedicated to developing a much larger and more complex project. However, seeing our resources running low, we made a difficult decision: to pause that main development to create something smaller, more manageable, and that we could finish in a few months.
That is how this game was born. We didn't want to make a "filler" project, but rather take the opportunity to explore a different narrative in a genre we like.
We set ourselves a challenge: to tell an emotional story using the simple mechanics of an incremental (idle) game.
In The Last Cat in the Universe, you assume the role of an AI on a drifting spaceship. It is important to clarify that you do not interact directly with the cat as in a traditional pet simulator. Your mission is to care for its environment: repairing the ship's systems, ensuring it has food, and watching it live, play, and sleep, while you try to decipher the ship's memory logs.
It is an experience of companionship and observation, designed to be relaxing but with a narrative background.
For this project, we are collaborating with singer-songwriter Diora Salazar.
The music in this game is not just background accompaniment; it is closely linked to the story the AI is trying to reconstruct. The melodies and sounds play a fundamental role in the atmosphere of loneliness and hope we want to convey.
The game's art also has a very personal inspiration. The cat's design and animations are based on Chanel, Diora's cat, who sadly passed away a few months ago.
We wanted this game to be a tribute to her. Every time you see the cat play, sleep, or look out the ship's window, know that there is a real memory full of love behind those pixels.
We are working hard to release the game very soon. If you want to support us:
Add the game to your Wishlist (it helps us immensely with store visibility).
Join our Discord if you want to chat with us.
Thank you for giving us a chance. We hope you enjoy this cat's company as much as we do.
