The validity of the indie game buzzing around the internet where you play as a cat, The Way hOme, has been drawn into question. Is it fake? Without proof from the developer, it seems so.
The game was stated to have allowed players to take on the role of a cat who can see the paranormal, and explore haunted locations in Japan. According to the announcement it was previously set to release on PC and consoles on October 30th, 2025, and featured unique "cat mechanics," such as a claw sharpening. However, the game has now been "canceled" and the developer has provided no definitive proof the title was ever in development to begin with.
In a social media post the developer in question, Joyful Calamity, had this to say:
I'm sorry. Many people paid attention to "The Way hOme," but due to various circumstances, we have decided to cancel the development of this work. I cannot say the reason for the cancellation now.
Outside of this, next to no information has been provided about the game.
It should be noted that we here at Netto's Game Room have never received a press statement from the developers regarding the game's announcement. With a release date of October 30th on consoles, it is a bit surprising absolutely no information has been passed along to the press—that is, if the game were in fact in development, and with a release date this soon.
