Found this wondering outside all night. Look's like it could do with a saucer of milk and cosy spot by the fire...
very much looking forward to this!
It's very interesting and fun.
Looks a bit like an Amanita Design game.

yep, not at all like a "traditional point and click game". But, cats. I hope it does not have awful unskippable minigames or complete nonsensical progression.

Don't get me wrong, I like Amanita Design games but you're right that they're not really traditional point and click games in the sense most people would understand the term.

yes, I don't mean in the negative sense, but Amanita-likes are different! Lack of dialogues and item descriptions for example, the interactive illustrated children book feeling...the origins as a flash game still recognizable.
Also, "traditional" pnc games in the strict sense means verbs for me. Or at least a few commands like take, use, speak to, look at.
And of course being able to manage my savegames, and save and load at any time.

I might be more forgiving you in regards to verbs. I'm ok with Left Click to do (pick up, use, push, pull, talk etc.) and Right Click to examine, or at least I would regard that as being within the realm of traditional adventure games as long as there's an inventory system and other such things. Maybe this game does have more of those things than we're giving it credit for but I wouldn't count on it.
Anyone knows why the game has been delisted on a certain steamy platform but not on gog?
Is this a Russian-made game? The site only states "slavic funding".

Game page says "Supported using public funding by Slovak Arts Council". Not Russia.
Still odd that it's not reachable on Steam. The Xbox store has it.

That's interesting. I do not know about slavic connections but there is some interesting issues with the developer Blowfish.

Blowfish was an Australian company (well, technically they are stil located in Sidney), which was bought up by Animoca Brands in July 2021. If you do not kow the name, they are Hong Kong based, and among other things own Atari today, and holds a lot of licenses -for example Addams Family, Thomas and Friends, Formula E and Manchester CIty FC . Animoca are havily invested in the blockcain, and are currently developing games and a platform based completly on monetisation of the blockchain, so they have created their own crypto coins and expect a lot of NFTs.

I am not sure I have come across ARTillery before, so I don't know much about them.

they are still verbs though :) anyway I mean, why say TRADITIONAL point and click when it's a rathern modern style? It's gonna put off potential customers.

That is too bad, particularly since it likely happened after the developer had an agreement with them. Atari has a horrible reputation and it sounds like they have outright not paid multiple developers. I'm also personally avoiding any games where the developer or publisher is in China (or a few other places) due to severe human rights issues. I'll still put this one on my wishlist in case things change.

For anyone potentially interested, try the demo. It is one of the better done demos and doesn't just give you the first area but several areas throughout the game with a (very) quick glance at the ones you are missing. I'd call it a hidden object puzzle game (preferrable to point and click adventures in my opinion). There isn't an inventory other than picking up one item. I wasn't a big fan of the humor. It is obviously an "alice in wonderland" thing, that I wasn't a huge fan of either. I'd still get it on a bit bigger sale (or when my backlog wasn't so large) if not for the issues with the publisher.

The developer is in Slovokia. They have a previous game called Niborea that is a free to play thing (they say "The game offers advantages to premium players, but there are no disadvantages for non-premium players."... sure). Still, Catie in MeowmeowLand looks nice.

They are, I'm just saying that I'm ok with only two verbs and it sounded like you want more to call it a traditional adventure game. Anyway, I agree that it's silly to label this a traditional style adventure game when it clearly isn't. Thankfully I can pretty much tell by looking so I wouldn't have been disappointed.
