It’s almost Christmas. You play as Helen, spending a quiet evening at home with your sweet calico cat, Misha.
What begins as an ordinary night—soft lights, gentle moments, a quiet meow—might not stay that way.
Misha is a short narrative visual novel about everyday interactions and the choices woven into them. Through simple actions and branching dialogue, you shape how the evening unfolds—often in ways you might not expect.
