Short Description:
Portal with cats - Become entangled in a quantum puzzle adventure! Mittens gains the incredible power to be in two places at once. Explore twisted test chambers, make mischief and evade capture by a whisker!

Full 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…

Studio Heritage:
Martin Binfield has worked in the games industry since the year 2000, at studios including Sony Cambridge, Jagex and Mode 7.

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 Fund. With their funding, and more recently Screen Australia and Screen Queensland, 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 certified ‘cute'!

  • A mystery to uncover - explore the facility and beyond to get to the bottom of things!

Reviews

“Schrodinger’s Cat Burglar is an impressively fun puzzle debut from Abandoned Sheep. Every puzzle was enjoyable and well thought out, with a natural and well-paced evolution of mechanics. Accessibility is a huge focus for the team, as the options for customisation are vast enough that nearly every possible issue someone might have playing this title can be addressed. The characters are charming, and the writing is full of wit and humour. With a super groovy soundtrack, family-friendly atmosphere and the most adorable protagonist, this title is sure to be a hit with puzzle fans of all ages, whether playing solo or couch co-op.”

Checkpoint Gaming : 9/10

“Schrodinger’s Cat Burglar combines a unique and quirky concept with Portal-like puzzle solving, creating brain teasers that are simultaneously challenging and yet unusually forgiving to new players. The game can be played with two players, but it is a completely different experience when you play alone, enticing your brain not only with cooperative puzzles but with the challenge of controlling two cats at the same time.”

Try Hard - 9/10

“Schrodinger's Cat Burglar is a mind-bending puzzle game that will make you think outside the box at every turn. It’s cute, it’s challenging, and it’s fun, and that’s all you need in a game.”

Game Grin - 8.5/10

Coverage

“Schrodinger’s Cat Burglar was one of the booths that was so popular that I was forced to circle back multiple times before I was able to have a proper chat with Martin, the lead developer on this cute quantum physics-infused puzzle game.”

“Worrying what your pet might be up to while you’re away has never been so hilarious.”
GamesHub

“It’s all sorts of cheeky with puzzles that really require you to stop and think, and the mechanics of ‘observed’ and ‘theoretical’ are cool as hell.”
