Nothing in the tomb is decided until you look.
You are the cat. Walk all the way round a tomb to open it. Find the key and the kitten, then escape through the door at the top.
An Oh Mummy (Amstrad CPC, 1984) style game, in chunky CPC Mode 0.
Developed for the Crashtober 2026 BASIC game jam.
Superposition: a tomb's contents aren't decided until you observe them. Trace most of the way round and it flickers between two possibilities… only opening it collapses the truth.
Quantum Zeno effect: ghosts can only move while you are not looking at them. Watch them and they freeze.
And the kitten? Alive… or a ghost. You won't know until you open the box.
A fish refills your Zeno power, and a lantern banishes a ghost that catches you. A living kitten will hiss ghosts away from your back.
Dawdle and the tombs fill with more ghosts… radioactive decay waits for no cat.
