Intergalactic Kebab-Hunger by colverok
Gameplay Info:
Intergalactic Kebab-Hunger is a single-player first person 3D puzzle-adventure, where you play as a cat-dog shapeshifter and switch to uncover two different worlds' clues. As a cat you will be aiming to match a meow frequency of other cats you meet to fit in, and as a dog you will be "reading" yellow signals and getting a hint of an object that hides a secret passage or something useful.
Important Disclaimer:
Some technical issues are known, and we are very sorry... If you approach an interactive spot, but nothing happens, please try to back away, switch the cat-dog mode to dog and approach again, this should help.
If you fell into a room or through textures, please reload the build. If you don't hear sound, please reload the build as well, should help (we have sound).
Controls:
- WASD — movement
- Mouse movement — camera movement
- Mouse scroll/E — Cat-dog mode switch
Cat mode — talk to other cats, matching the wave of their meow. If waves look squarish — check if you are a cat, cats don't want to talk to dogs
Dog mode — uncover secret yellow signs, solve a puzzle and get a clue. After puzzle is solved, the correct object is highlighted in the world.

About the Game:
The only way how the planet Earth outdid the rest of the Universe is by inventing kebab — the most balanced and well nourishing meal one can ever imagine. A small planet of mini-shapeshifters chose you to travel to the planet Earth and retrieve one majestic kebab to feed your whole nation for the next billion years. To keep discrete you will be using very size appropriate camouflage of these Earth things called "cats" and "dogs". Be careful — cats are told to be very territorial, if you meet one you have to prove yourself an ally recreating the sound “meow”. And dogs are friendly, be on the look out for clues where the kebab is hidden. Hurry, your nation depends on you!

I really felt the lack of "Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;" and a hotkey to switch between the cat and the dog. If this game were polished up a bit, I’d definitely love to play more.
Somehow this short adventure reminded me of the "Arctic eggs" game, with the surrealistic environment and style. There is a couple of rough spots around the edges, but that's fine, given the tight deadline! Good job!
Interesting mini-game with cats and the whole idea of the game :)
