Khat

Khat is a 2D roguelike platformer steeped in Egyptian mythology, where you play as a cat sent by the goddess Bastet to clear the way for Ra’s journey through the underworld. But the path is treacherous, and survival is a delicate balance—to succeed, you must die.

With nine lives, your first attempt is nearly impossible. Each death grants a random godly gift, making future runs easier—but use them wisely. If you perish nine times, your journey ends, and Apophis tightens his coils around existence, plunging the world into eternal night.

Between levels, solve the Sphinx's riddles to determine your path:
Ra’s Trial: Collect sacred feathers to aid lost souls.
Apophis’ Domain: A perilous path with no divine reward.

With randomized level layouts and power-ups, every playthrough is unique. Will you master the balance of life and death to fulfill Bastet’s mission, or will you falter, allowing Apophis to devour the sun and shroud all creation in darkness?
