NOT A CAT STUDIOS

We are creating narrative-focused games with unique mechanics.

STARCULT. Night: Twisted Age is our first game.

STARCULT. Night: Twisted Age is an innovative dark fantasy visual novel that seamlessly blends romance, horror, and psychological intrigue. Set in a world where art transcends mere pigment, the story follows Silviya, a gifted artist whose creations hold the power to manipulate reality and human emotion.

At its core lies the original Emotion Palette Mechanic, a unique system that unlocks hidden narrative layers and allows players to navigate up to 33 distinct dialogue options without overwhelming complexity.

Merging artistic vision with interactive storytelling, STARCULT delivers a bold new vision for the visual novel genre. It challenges players to explore the darkest corners of human connection while wielding the power of art to shape their own destiny.

Silviya calls for a detective to investigate the crime.



Meanwhile, she begins to be tormented by strange nightmares...
