Sill Cat

SILL CAT

Flip the sky. Sneak up the windows. Get home.

A ginger cat has to climb a street of apartment buildings, window sill by window sill, to the window where its person lives. Every window has a tenant. Sun folk are up by day. Moon folk are up all night and sleep behind blackout curtains by day. Sit in front of anyone who's awake and an eye starts to fill. When it's full, up goes the sash and out comes the broom: SHOO!

You control the sky. One key turns day into night and back again, and every window on the street wakes up or nods off with it.

HOW IT WORKS

- Hop sill to sill: along a floor, across the alley, up and down.

- SPACE flips day and night. Sun-tag windows wake by day, moon-tag windows wake at night.

- Don't sit in front of anyone awake. Moon folk see less in the dark, so night is sneakier.

- Telly-watchers never sleep. Pigeons by day wake the neighbours when they flap off. A window washer works by day; an owl glides by at night.

- Home (the heart window) only opens while its owner is awake.

- Eight buildings, nine lives each, and three stars per building.
