The Cat | ONC 2026

Luke lives alone with his cat - a ginger with a tuxedo cat's pattern - named Darwin.

Everyday, Darwin leaves for what Luke calls "Work" since it always leaves around the same time.

When a sudden ruckus outside of his door came, he opened it only to see Darwin sitting on the porch with another elusive cat making an exit through the bushes.

Curious about the peculiar behavior of Darwin, Luke sets out to uncover his cat's reasoning.

Following Darwin, he found a garden out of human touch; through the small gap in between two old houses.

Touching a weird looking flower, he collapsed and fell asleep. Only to awaken in another world filled with talking animals, and humans as a merchant's high price labor trade.

Darwin, now speaking, now needs to protect the lost Luke. With the help of his cat assistant, Lou.
