Six Hours with Scratch Cat: Definitive Edition

October 28, 2020 (Itch)

*Six Hours with Scratch Cat: Definitive Edition* is a point-and-click survival horror-but-not-really video game created on Scratch, and the first installment of the canon series developed by the Adiar Studios. It was released on Scratch on June 6, 2020 as a complete remaster of the original game, built from the ground up. It was later released on Game Jolt on July 12 and on Itch.io on October 28 of the same year. The goal for the player is to survive consecutive shifts at Scratch Cat's Tacos while avoiding getting caught and kicked out of the building by the animatronic characters and tracking their movements via the restaurant's security cameras.

## **Summary**

### Instructions (Simplified)

Welcome to Scratch Cat's Tacos, a fantastical place for people of all ages!

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE PLAYING!

This game is a parody of Scott Cawthon's Five Nights at Freddy's. Though there is no grotesque imagery or backstory, there are still jumpscares if you happen to lose. If you are sensitive to flashing images and loud sounds, please refrain from playing this game.

Fullscreen is recommended!

=HOW TO SAVE/LOAD YOUR PROGRESS=

1) Press Save on the menu to show your save code.

2) Copy the save code or write it down somewhere. You can now safely exit the game.

3) To load your save, press the Load button and enter your save code. (WARNING: Entering anything other than a save code may reset your progress!)

4) Restart the game. Your save should be just how you left it.

Alternatively, you can download this project as an .sb3 file to run in the Scratch 3.0 Desktop App and save as you go. Keep in mind however, that upon doing this, your high score in Survival Mode will not be saved to the cloud if you happen to beat the world record.

Hold R for about 3 seconds to perform a hard reset. This will revert the game back to its original state before you started playing. (For mobile users, just reload the page.)

Please do not snoop inside for secrets. It's more fun to discover everything for yourself. Spoiler comments and comments of save codes will be deleted.

### Notes and Credits

Start of production: 4/20/2020

Release date: 6/6/2020

## **Gameplay**

The player sits in an office and monitors security cameras positioned throughout the restaurant to observe the animatronic mascots. The player has a limited amount of power to view the camera feeds, light hallways, and close the doors on either side of them.

The player must use the camera feed locations in the building and hold the animatronics off using the doors. If the player fails to do this, they will be jumpscared and receive a game over. To finish the game, the player must survive from 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM (exactly 8 minutes in real-time).

The four animatronics that the player must avoid are Scratch Cat and his three friends: Pico, Gobo, and Giga. There is an additional animatronic known as Ginja who has a 1 in 200 chance of appearing when the camera is flipped down normally, but during Nightmare Mode this chance is reduced to 1 in 20, making him much more aggressive in said mode.

## **Stars**

There are four stars to unlock in this game:

Star 1: Complete your first night shift and get paid.

Star 2: Discover a secret based on a clue you were given at the end of your first shift.

Star 3: Complete Nightmare Mode.

Star 4: Complete 20/20/20/20 mode with no cheats active.

## **Reception**

Six Hours with Scratch Cat: Definitive Edition was received very positively by people who happened to stumble upon it, and is now one of Tbug’s most popular Scratch Projects.

## **Trivia**

* The motivation for making this game was found from the release of Five Nights at Raspag's by -Random\_Productions-.
* This is the first in the canon series of games. Anything made before this (other than the teasers) is not canon.
* There is an easter egg that can happen randomly when looking at the Kitchen camera while Scratch Cat is inside.
* There is also an easter egg in the Custom Night that appear when you put Scratch Cat at 1, Pico at 9, Gobo at 8, and Giga at 7.
* This is the first game in the series where the phone guy was not voiced by Tbug.
* On itch.io, the game is simply referred to as "Six Hours with Scratch Cat", due to the fact that no Six Hours legacy games are not on GT Games' Itch page.
