Limassol, Cyprus, October 13, 2023. Leading indie video game publisher ESDigital Games has been sharpening its claws and unleashing exciting new content for the unique and exciting new title Cats on Duty during Steam Next Fest.
Developed by Prikol Team, Cats on Duty is a purr-fectly hilarious and action-packed blend of real-time strategy, tower defense, and match-3 mechanics, where heavily armed battle-hardened cat veterans of rodent skirmishes and yarn tangles take charge in defending their homeland (and litter boxes) against the forces of great evil!
Cats on Duty is enjoying great success during Steam Next Fest, with the first-ever game demo going live with access to five levels of the full game for feline fans to get their paws on. If that’s not enough, this weekend will see the second official Steam Next Fest Live Broadcast hit at 3pm BST/4pm CEST/10am EDT/7am PDT on Saturday 14 October! Watch the fur fly as the Prikol Team goes live and showcase all-new gameplay for fans to check out.
