What would you do if you were walking home and you heard a kitty meowing in a creepy alley? Well, if you don’t want Bean’s “loser” ending, you go pick it up and take it with you.

What you do when it turns out to be a magic cat with two tails and a taste for sacrifice is another question.

The thing is, this cat – Bean – lives up to their adorable name. You wouldn’t avoid such a cute cat just because it’s technically a hungry being from another reality. Even after it steals your precious stuffed toy and rips its head off.

Bean is short and described on its itch.io page as a “test,” but it’s nonetheless equal parts endearing and funny, telling the story of the beginning of an unlikely friendship.

Bean is available to download for pay what you want on itch.io.
