About Goodnight Meowmie
You look after Meowmie with simple pet-care actions like holding, playing and feeding, and then the story takes a dark turn, with chase sequences and usually a couple of jumpscares per playthrough. The page warns it may hit hard emotionally, especially for pet owners.
The jam theme asked for two incompatible genres, and this mix of virtual pet and horror placed #2 in Mood and #4 in Audio out of 2,018 Ludum Dare entries. Later versions reworked the ending and added translations into more than a dozen languages; it suits players who want a short, emotional story rather than a cozy game.
