Trick or Steal

Harvest Moon season, until November 30: pies to swipe, leaf piles to hide in, and cozy fall outfits for your cat.

It's Harvest Moon season in Hazel's town. The jack-o'-lanterns are packed away, the leaves are falling, and every kid in the street is carrying a basket of treats. Hazel the witch wants every one of them for her brew.

You are her black cat. The treats are yours for the taking, if you're sneaky enough.

NOW: THE HARVEST MOON SEASON • The whole town dressed for fall, with new music and fall kids to rob: scarecrows, foxes, owls, acorns and more • Swipe pies cooling on the windowsills, and raid the Pie Contest under the judges' noses • Hide in the leaf piles, but don't run through them: crunchy leaves are loud • Apple bobbing at the Harvest Fair, scarecrows that watch you on Hollow Hill, and a turkey on the loose in Thanksgiving week • A November calendar door every day, double coins on Thanksgiving, and the Great Harvest to fill for the glowing Maple ember fur • Cozy fall outfits: knit scarves, muddy wellies, acorn caps and more • A fresh Story every season, so every night's stars can be won again

SNEAK, SWIPE, DELIVER • Creep up behind kids and fish treats out of their baskets • Keep out of their sight and out of the streetlights. If someone turns around, freeze! • Carry the loot to Hazel's cauldron and fill it before dawn • Hazel's Training teaches the basics in five quick lessons, then all her tricks if you want them

BE A MENACE • Hide in bushes, bins and under cars, then pounce • Hiss to scare treats loose, land on a grown-up's head, knock over the lawn decorations • Raid houses through the cat flap and tip over the treat bowl • Bounce off inflatables onto the rooftops for hidden treasure • Chain it all together without getting caught to set off a NEON FRENZY: faster paws, double treats

20 NIGHTS, 4 WORLDS, 4 BOSSES • The suburbs, a foggy hill, the Harvest Fair and Old Town, five nights each • Every night brings a twist: thick fog, stuffed baskets, block parties, an early dawn • Outwit each world's boss, from Captain Crumble of the Neighborhood Watch to the Ringmaster • 72 costumes to rob across the seasons, from vampires and an inflatable T-rex to scarecrows and foxes

HAZEL HAS A LOT TO SAY • The witch is fully voiced, and she is not shy: tips, bounties, cackles and opinions about your hat • Quick bounties mid-night for big bonus points • 49 strange oddities to find for her Shelf of Mysteries

COMPETE EVERY DAY • A new Daily Challenge each day, on the same world for everyone: the top 3 win up to 2,000 coins and a trophy, and #1 wins the Champion hat • Candy Dash score attacks with a leaderboard for every world • A weekly league of 15 cats, with prizes every week

CAULDRON SQUARE • A live square where cats from everywhere hang out in front of Hazel's cauldron • Mini-games: hide and seek, a dance-off, pumpkin bowling, chasing the toy mouse, a costume contest on the catwalk • Treats rain from the cauldron every two minutes. Catch the most and wear the crown • Emotes, ready-made phrases and no chat. Meet a friend by typing their player code

MAKE THE CAT YOURS • Four cats to play as: the classic shorthair, a scruffy tomcat, a fluffy longhair and a shivering sphynx • Over 180 things to wear: hats, capes, sweaters, masks, boots, tail charms, glowing eyes and trails, from a slice of toast to a personal thundercloud • Free colours for your favourite pieces, a photo mode, and the Midnight Catwalk to show off your look

A NEW LOOK EVERY SEASON • Halloween comes back every October, with its countdown calendar, the Pumpkin King crown behind door 31 and the Great Brew • The Harvest Moon season runs through November

No ads. No accounts. No chat: other players only ever see your cat, its three-word name and its look. Free to play: optional outfits and a seasonal pass (the Witch's Pass in October, the Harvest Pass in November) support the game, and upgrades are earned with stars, never bought.
