Description:
Schrodinger’s Cat Burglar is a puzzle heist adventure with a quantum flavour. The player controls Mittens the cat as she infiltrates a secret research facility. Aided by Lazy Susan the hedgehog who keeps in radio contact from home base, Mittens stumbles into a quantum experiment and gains incredible new powers - the ability to be in two places at once. This quantum superstate obeys the uncertainty principle - while no one is looking, she could be in either location. Introduce an observer and things get theoretical…

History:
Work on Schrodinger’s Cat Burglar began in 2018 as a passion project and spent a good few years in prototype - the core mechanic being so unique meant that it took time to percolate and mature. Over the years, one-man development studio Martin Binfield took the prototype into a compelling demo, which caught the interest of Astra Games. With their funding, and more recently Screen Australia, the team has grown and the game gets better and better.

Features:

  • Mind bending puzzles - learn the concepts of quantum superposition and uncertainty!

  • Adorable characters - Mittens and Lazy Susan are cretified ‘cute'!
