About Cult of the Cat
Cult of the Cat is a short, surreal cat clicker game about boredom getting out of hand. You're stuck in a room with nothing but your black cat for company, so you start worshipping it, one click at a time.
The main button is Worship, and you press it with a left click. Every click counts, and since it's an incremental game, it builds on itself the longer you keep at it.
It's a game jam entry, made for the MatchaMaze SpringJam and the Brackeys Game Jam 2022.1, and it runs in a tall, phone-shaped window. You can play Cult of the Cat online here in your browser.
How to Play Cult of the Cat
- Press Play on the title screen.
- Left click Worship to praise your cat.
- Keep clicking to grow your devotion.
- Keep clicking and watch where your devotion leads.
- Play it through in one go. A full session only takes a few minutes.
What to Expect in Cult of the Cat
It's cute on the surface and a little unsettling underneath. The pixel art shows a person sitting cross-legged on a wooden floor, facing a black cat with a glowing red eye, and the whole setup asks what happens when you start treating your pet like a god.
It's a cat clicker game with a dry sense of humor, short enough to finish in a few minutes. Cult of the Cat free in a browser tab makes a quick, odd break from bigger games.
Tips for Cult of the Cat
- Use a mouse if you can. Lots of clicking is easier on a mouse than on a trackpad.
- Do not stop after the first few clicks. It's an incremental game, so the interesting part comes once your worship has built up.
- If the tall window looks small on a wide monitor, zoom the browser in a little.
- Keep an eye on the cat as well as the button.
- Play it in one sitting. It's only a few minutes long, and it lands better that way.

Can I play Cult of the Cat on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook should run it in a browser tab, and you only need to click, so a mouse or trackpad does the job. The game window is tall and narrow, which suits a phone's shape, but browser support on phones varies, so a computer is the safer bet.
Is Cult of the Cat unblocked at school?
If you're looking for Cult of the Cat unblocked, it needs only a browser tab, with nothing to install. Whether it opens on a school or work network depends on that network's filters, which we do not control. If the game loads here, you can play.
Is Cult of the Cat scary?
Not really. It's cute pixel art with a surreal, slightly dark sense of humor. The black cat has a glowing red eye, and the idea of worshipping your pet feels a bit off, but it's a lighthearted short game rather than a horror game.
Is Cult of the Cat a jam game?
Yes. It was made for two game jams: the MatchaMaze SpringJam, where the theme was Alternative Physics and the genre was incremental games, and the Brackeys Game Jam 2022.1. That's why it's short and built around one strong idea.
