About Cats Away

Developed by Studio Saizensen with SUCCESS Corporation, Cats Away follows the adventures of three seafaring sisters named Kanna, Lilia, and Alicia. Together with their faithful cat crewmates, they embark on a perilous maritime journey involving pirate guilds, a mysterious cat-hating syndicate, ancient magic spells and giant mutated monsters.

Players manage the crew and resources of a sailing ship on an exciting and dangerous exploratory voyage. Steer the ship during combat, maneuvering into more advantageous positions and giving orders on the fly to counter enemy tactics. Between battles, dock in faraway ports-of-call to upgrade weapons and equipment, meet new friends (and enemies), learn new skills and much more. Take on side missions to earn treasure, level-up the captains and the crew and open new routes to uncharted waters!
