Whether you are looking to strengthen relationships with loved ones or seeking an exciting form of entertainment, AVAMEOW is the perfect journey for those who want an enjoyable and thrilling adventure.

With the option to communicate using text or audio, players can immerse themselves in the game’s interactive and animated world. They have the opportunity to role-play as a cat in the legend of King Meowthur, bringing the story to life and adding an extra layer of fun and excitement to the game. AVAMEOW provides a platform for friends to come together and enjoy their time, even if they’re unable to meet in person. This digital conversational strategy party game is a great way to bond and have fun with friends and family.

AVAMEOW offers versatile and customizable gameplay, with in-person and online modes, a default story, and a timed clock. It accommodates different communication preferences, including audio chat, further enhancing its accessible design. The custom mode takes the experience to the next level by allowing players to create their own stories and adventures, making it a great option for those seeking a more personalized and unique experience.

"AVAMEOW was born out of a need for a fun, interactive, and digital solution during the pandemic when traditional board games like "The Resistance: Avalon'' could no longer be played with friends in person. I really happy to see this project get lots of attention."
