Android Cat

**Android Cat** is a concept action-adventure video game and the first installment of the Android-Cat series. It'll also be the studio's first 3D video game.

## **Plot**

Far away in an ancient galaxy, a tall alien woman named Quantum is in a conference with Empress Nexus, where Quantum is presenting her pitch for attacking Earth, by recruiting a bunch of cat-like aliens called Lynxes. She eventually presents the Number 7 Lynx (which is female) and seeks a loan from Nexus to fund her operation of getting Lynxes trained to annihilate humankind, if she can prove of the Lynxes power. She places her into her orb and sends her to Earth. Meanwhile, Professor Smith, a struggling scientist and professional robot designer of a nearly bankrupt company, is pressured by consumers into finishing his robot guardian DC2-396 "Liu" in 3 more days or they will Sue him for poor service. Later that night when he gets ready for bed, the Lynx's pod crashes in his backyard. Having awakened from it, Professor Smith heads outside to investigate, only to find the simple Lynx ball. He keeps it in his basement then heads back in his room. The next morning, Number 7 wakes up and finds herself stuck in the basement. She succeeds in getting the door open, but Professor Smith finds her and freaks out instantly. He accidentally knocks her out with a remote and she goes out-cold. Professor Smith takes her to his computer room trying to analyze her species on it, but the computer has no knowledge of her species since it isn't of Earth. Number 7 wakes up and is immediately pissed at him for knocking her out, preparing to shoot him. Professor Smith locks her in a cage until she calms down. The following night, DC2-396 is finally finished and begins to become sentient. Later that night, she meets her creator and Number 7, (immediately dislikes her because she's a jerk and evil) and since Professor Smith is having trouble trying to get rid of her and learns she's an alien kid, he convinces DC2-396, now called Liu as a nickname, to teach her daily life in the hopes she'll become independent enough to leave by unlocking her human disguise. Liu reluctantly agrees and she is enrolled in Middle School (with Liu disguised as a backpack), she meets the socially shy and paranoid, but kind Cheremai and are unexpectedly in the same class together. After day 7 of her time on Earth, Professor Smith tries getting her to leave on her own and she does so while still threatening to kill everyone. However, after a bank robbery, the 7th Lynx discovers that Quantum has sent Government patrol to search for her and bring her back to the captain. Seeing this as a selfish opportunity to be pampered and protected, knowing he'll worry, Lynx number 7 runs back to his house pleading for him to let her stay and lies that she can't find a place to stay on her own. Professor Smith agrees, much to Liu's dismay, but only for one night due to the fact he doesn't fully trust her. After noticing the Lynx girl likes playing with shoe laces, he offers the name "Lacey", which she accepts. Everyone goes to bed, except for Lacey who instead is playing with an electric guitar and smashing everything in sight, much to Liu's aggravation. The next day, Liu tries putting up with Lacey's stubbornness and jerkish behavior by teaching her basic common-courtesy in certain areas in town, including a visit at the park with Cheremai, though it backfires when Lacey scares away residents with her blasters. Seeing how much Liu seems to have a hard time with her, Cheremai offers to help teach her how to care for others and be less of a self-centered person. Cheremai offers Lacey a sleepover at her house and Liu refuses to stay, so goes home (only to be abducted by wrestler promoters as the prize at an upcoming wrestling event tonight). Lacey and Cheremai eat candy, though Lacey goes crazy and eventually gets a sugar-crash. After she comes to from the crash, she discovers Cheremai still asleep and watches TV instead. She sees Liu as the prize at tonight's event and dresses up as a amateur wrestler to rescue her (though nobody knows that it's her). Lacey dressed as what she calls "The Destroyer" fights a brute guy for Liu. After winning her back and unintentionally winning 700,000 dollars, Lacey doesn't know what money is, so she takes it home to eat it instead, assuming it to be salad. Empress Nexus is willing to give Quantum money for her Lynx training program if Quantum can get to Earth by next week to capture Lacey instead, she accepts and Lacey is now wanted, due to her unintentionally forgetting her task as she gets distracted with her new friend Cheremai. Government spies find her, but Lacey, using Professor Smith as a shield, manages to trick them into thinking she's his actual human daughter. While on her way to school and inside, she is hunted and followed by the soldiers back and forth, who disguised themselves as school janitors. Cheremai becomes suspicious of Lacey's strange behavior, and Lacey, realizing her human charade will eventually be seen through, decides to come clean tomorrow night to Professor Smith and everyone else. Unfortunately, Professor Smith has late-night errands to run and she and Liu are left alone at the house. Unfortunately the house gets attacked by Galactic Government ships, but Lacey and Liu manage to defeat them all but accidentally blow up the neighborhood houses in the process. Cheremai and several others make it to the scene, and Lacey, upon guilt, reveals that she was an alien all along in front of Liu and Cheremai. Liu is angered by her secrets and tells her to leave. However, when she does, in the background, Liu is captured and screams, as Quantum captured Liu. As the final battle approaches, Lacey, with the help of Cheremai and Professor Smith, chase down her ship which is now targeting Lacey with lasers aiming toward her as she runs faster and faster to the ship. She breaks Liu free, but gets blasted off the ship and into the harbor, as Quantum charges another blast which is sent into the water in a massive explosion in the river. She appears to have drowned, but Lacey leaps back out and then runs towards her ship and easily flipping, dodging and sliding past each blast with relative ease. In a last attempt to destroy the ship, Lacey charges up her body and blasts off from an exploding car smashing right through her ship in a very huge explosion (Quantum is rumored to have not survived the explosion but is revealed to be alive in AC2), as Lacey lands safely on the ground unconscious. The townspeople help Professor Smith bring her home and she recovers from the daze. Lacey, now fully reformed, asks to stay and they accept, promising a new era for the teenage Lynx. After the credits, a shadow is seen coming out of the water where the ship blew up, hinting to her survival but her head-shape isn't shown.

## **Gameplay**

Players take control of Lacey, a teenage Lynx recruited by Quantum to accomplish a task of killing all humans of Earth. But when she fails after having a change of heart, Quantum goes to Earth to investigate. Lacey can kick, double-jump and run up and down walls. She can also shapeshift between her Lynx and Human disguise at any time. Some parts of the game the disguises will be needed to avoid detection from the galactic government soldiers looking for Lacey.
