Publisher Microids and developer OSome Studio have announced Garfield: Escape from Monday, a 3D platformer for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch, and PC arriving on September 24. In this adventure, the famous lazy cat must wake up from a nightmare caused by a spinach lasagna. His mission: explore worlds full of enemies and devour industrial quantities of lasagna to regain his sense of taste.
Platforms and mechanics in a nightmare world 🎮
OSome Studio has designed a 3D platformer with thematic worlds that Garfield must traverse to overcome his nightmare. Character controls include jumps, attacks, and the ability to devour objects and enemies to recover energy. The graphics engine offers colorful settings, though with an aesthetic reminiscent of other titles in the genre. Levels are designed with linear paths and some secrets, without major technical innovations.
Spinach lasagna: the true villain of the story 🥬
Someone needs to explain to Chef Monday that putting vegetables in lasagna is a crime against humanity. Garfield, accustomed to a diet based on carbohydrates and laziness, now faces his worst enemy: spinach. The plot is simple: the cat has a nightmare because Jon fed him something green. With such a premise, anyone would think the game is a joke, but no: it's a full adventure to escape Monday and vegetables.
